Detroit, Michigan -- Memphis turned out to be the continuation of a series of unfortunate events for us. A few weeks earlier, we began making passes in order to update my competition license and prepare for the forthcoming NMCA World Finals in Memphis, TN. We slipped into the final Norwalk Raceway Park 'Open Test & Tune' of the season and immediately knocked the teeth off second gear in our 3-speed Bruno Transmission. Undeterred, we returned to the shop and got to work installing our exceptionally reliable Hutch's Transmission Service built 2-speed Powerglide. We headed to Milan Dragway a few days later hoping to pick up where we left off. This time, all of the parts held up but our traction did not.[ Read More >> ]

	Memphis in the Mean Time… When our bright red Super Street Camaro pulls into the staging beams of the 2009 NMCA World Finals at Memphis Motorsports Park, it will mark the end of a long hiatus for Pelech Bros. Racing. This is only a Test… When I stand back and look at the make up of a modern drag car, I'm amazed that these things run at all let alone run well. Engines and driveline components are assembled to the thousandth of an inch with miles of hose and endless webs of wiring extending to and from several little blinking boxes. T-minus and counting… When we last left you, our nitrous injected Super Street engine had just returned from Chris Holbrook's engine dyno. Along with it came several great dyno sheets and reams of data for us to review from our FAST XFI, MSD Ignition, and Racepak electronic systems.
