RENEGADE 10.50...
We had 20 cars vying for 16 spots and when the dust settled Ed Richards in his “sissy sticks” equipped 85 Monte Carlo SS claimed the TI Dyno #1 qualifying spot. Once again, qualifying was extremely tight and filled with many new faces while absent of several familiar faces. Semi-Finalists were Ed Richards and Shawn Coon in his 55 Chevy Bel-Air. The finals came down to Paul Carillon in his 71 Monte Carlo vs Jr. Phillips in his 68 Camaro. Paul, who at midweek was not expected at the track due to the passing of his father-in-law, pulled off the “miracle” victory with a little help from above to produce what I believe to be the first ever PERFECT RENEGADE 10.50 PASS with a 10.500. He needed every bit of it to hold off the charge of Jr. Phillips. After the race we learned that not only was this his first RENEGADE victory but his first victory in 20 years, Congrats Paul!!!
Shearer-Fab 8.90...
The Shearer-Fab 8.90 racers had a strong field of 17 cars trying to claim one of the 16 top spots. The Chumley Motorsports #1 Qualifier was, once again the man, the myth, the legend "Chico" in his 1963 Chevy II with an 8.902!! Unfortunately Chico went down to mechanical gremlins, which entitled Gary Moore the TI Dyno Assassin Cash . With the championship on the line, several “Spoilers” reared their heads including that of Scott Williams and his 1965 Malibu SS from Warren, Michigan. Semi-Finalists were Bob Getsy in his stick shift equipped 1957 Chevy and “Big Charlie” Moore in his nitrous fed SBC 69 Chevy Camaro. The finals came down to our championship spoilers of Scott Williams vs Jeff Clark in his nitrous fed BBC 69 Chevelle. Jeff, who had announced earlier in the season that he is moving out of state, and was not expect to make our season finale. However, he decided before leaving he was going to officially put his stamp on the RENEGADE RACING ASSOCIATION series by claiming his first Shearer-Fab 8.90 victory. Jeff best of luck from our family to yours!!!
8.90 POINTS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Championship boiled down to two racers Al Matuska and Paul Suloff who were tied in points after 5 events. Going into the season finale both racers knew they had to be on top of their game, and also knew it could come down to a face to face tie-breaking shoot-out. When both racers were eliminated from competition in the second round, the pressure of the championship set in. These two have proven themselves time and time again to be amongst RENEGADE RACING ASSOCIATION'S elite. In the Championship Shoot-out both cars left with their wheels in the air and sporting nearly identical reaction times, at mid-track Al’s 65 Malibu began reeling in Paul’s jackrabbit quick 67 Camaro and at the stripe Al claimed the double breakout victory by a scant margin of .003. Congratulations to Al, Paul and all the 8.90 Points Championship participants.

We were once again blessed with a strong showing of these wild and often unpredictable machines, with 9 cars vying for the top 8 spots and after the qualifying dust settled, Don Turner “Mr Z” in his nitrous fed Z28 Camaro claimed the the Ultratech Racecars #1 Qualifying Award with a 5.19. In his first appearance, Shawn Earp and his nitrous fed BBC 69 Camaro made it to the semi-finals, along with Chris Nau and his 83 AMC powered Spirit. The finals were a rematch of September’s race, which came down to Chevy vs Ford, Turbo vs Nitrous, and once again the nitrous-fed 1982 Camaro Z28 of Don Turner claimed the victory when the turbo-charged 2002 Ford Mustang of Keith Sletvold could not fire in the staging lanes. Mr. Z claimed the most victories in the Street Lethal Performance OLS class th3 2011 season – Congrats!!

Street Lethal Performance Outlaw Limited Street Highlights and Recap
Don Turner takes another victory in the Street Lethal Performance Outlaw Limited Street Class as well as his second Ultratech Racecars #1 Qualifier bonus with a 5.22. The hot temperatures and the high track temps put a damper on seeing the true potential of the cars that were entered in the race, however the crowd was crazy about the displays of raw power and the drivers ability to guide their cars down the track. Dave Hinzman's Pro-Charged BBC Mustang is capable of running over 200mph, so be on the lookout Dave's return later on this season to give Don Turner's nitrous-fed big block Camaro a true run for his money.

Street Lethal Performance Outlaw Limited Street
Even though the car count was light the action was not!!! The Street Lethal Performance OLS cars wowed the spectators with some crazy displays of raw horsepower on a small tire. The Ultratech Racecars #1 Qualifier was Don Turner in his nitrous-fed Big Chief headed big block Camaro running a 5.20. The eliminations boiled down to a pair of nitrous-fed machines (one of them was an AMC!!) versus the turbo-charged entry of Wes Blankenship. Unfortunately the final was a bye run due to mechanical issues on Blankenship's Camaro, but Don Turner put on a great show sneaking up on his tune-up with a 5.11 final round pass.
