• Well, technically, Jesse didn't respond to the challenge with the one week time. So the spot is yours. He hasn't responded, so I don't want you spending $$$ to get ready for Friday if you don't have to. Unless you hear from him before Friday and you all can get the race done.

• You need to do it on the 11th. You know the rules, race must be run within 2 weeks of challenge. You challenged on the 21st of Dec. Waiting till the 18th is almost a month. (NT) -- Rule monitor!!!, 10:11:52 01/06/08 Sun

• MARK WHEN IS THERE TWO WEEKS UP? GUY GIVE THEM YOUR NAME BALL OUT BOYS (NT) -- BALL OUT RACEING, 22:32:06 01/07/08 Mon
• Well, it looks like it all went down on a technicality. What Bridgi was saying is, "IF ZEKE GET'S THE SPOT BECAUSE JESSE DOES NOT SHOW (ON THE 4TH) I WILL SHOW UP AND RUN HIM FOR IT SO ZEKE WILL HAVE SOMEONE TO RUN". But Zeke right away said he would take his two weeks. Which we don't usually do. Most of the guy's will say ok and race that night. In any event, Zeke said he would like to take his two weeks (as per the rules as the Spot holder) to get ready for Bridgi on the 18th. Which is the deadline for the race. Hope that clears is up for everyone. (NT) -- Mod, 22:57:02 01/07/08 Mon
  • Mark , that is not what Bridgi said unless you can read he's mind I can't ! But thanks any way , first you say we don;t have to spend the money to get ready for Friday and now we should have raced okayyy . (NT) -- Zeke, 06:34:29 01/08/08 Tue
• All I know is this is alot of bull shit for a race. Zeke you should just run whoever, whenever, that is what a true racer does. Line em up and bunch em up and get it on already. Good luck to both. (NT) -- Henry Thomae, 07:39:37 01/08/08 Tue
• Not reading his mind Zeke. Bridgi called me and that's what he told me. He wanted to run on the 4th if Jesse did not show up. But I told him you took your two weeks to get ready. When I told you about not spending money, it was in referance to Jesse not showing up. I told you, "don't spend money if Jesse is not going to show up". In any event, my previous post was ment to back you up as per our rules. You have your two weeks. Don't worry about what anyone else say's. (NT) -- Mod, 18:13:52 01/08/08 Tue

Better late then never right? I totally forgot I went to the track last Friday night. I didn't get much since there wasn't anything going on. Just your usual suspects. Southtexasracing.com did have some match races set up, so I figured I would get them on video for a short track action report. Also out, was the Flaming Cheeto. I don't know who was driving it, but they were making license passes in it. Also out was Charlie Deleon, making some test hits on his new combination. He is pretty confident about the new combo and see's mid 8 second passes as not a problem. Maybe Henry will get the Chevelle going and make a challenge for the #1 Spot. Here is a short video I made from Friday night.



**CLICK PIC FOR VIDEO**





As far as updates go. There are some changes at Edinburg International Racetrack for 2008. The major one is the change from IHRA to NHRA. Now, for most, this doesn't mean a lot. But for our really fast guy's, this means you will all have to get new competition licenses. And with NHRA, that means you have to get a Dr's physical. I know some guy's on here are both NHRA and IHRA legit. But if you are not, you better talk to Julio and get your passes in.

The other two changes are an increase in entry fee's at the track. They don't pertain to spectators, those prices will stay the same. The increase will be to racers on Wednesday nights. The race fee will now be $15.00 for car and driver. On Friday nights, the price is now $20.00 for car and driver. Other than that, everything else pretty much stay's the same. Again, these increases are only for those that are racing. That's it for me. Here are some random pics from last Friday night. And stay tuned for upcoming match races on the Fastest Website in South Texas, Texasdragracing.com

I know, I said I would have the video's up on Sunday. And Sunday is not over yet. Just been really busy getting ready for Christmas. Been out with the wife all day doing some last minute shopping. You know how it is when unexpected company shows up from out of town. And they bring kids. You have to run out and get more gifts..LOL!...Anyway, here is the video of Sergio Jr. and Bridgi going at it for the #1 Spot. It was an awesome race with Sergio Jr. running his very first 8 second pass. Awesome race....Check out the video below by clicking on the pic....





This next short video is some unexpected video. Between helping out with pictures, I didn't know my son was also grabbing random video's. It's not a lot. But he did manage to catch Phenom making some test hits. As well as the final between Rene Deluna and Lobozon from a different perspective. I think there was a big thumb print on the lens though..LOL!...Oh well, what are you gonna do. The full Outlaw Shootout will be up in a little while. I am working on it now. Check out this video be clicking on the pic....

Missed my own deadline...LOL! Well, not really, cause the video's were uploaded to the server last night. But I fell asleep waiting for them to finish. The first video, qualifying is about 12 minutes long. Lot's of great action. In this video, Lobozon, ripped out it's own wheel tubs. The Chevy II was on a mission and they were just getting in the way. The San Antonio Outlaw cars were also out, trying their best to get a grip on our track surface. Check out the video below by clicking on the pic. It's a huge file, so give it some time to load.





Up next is the finals video. Remember I told you Lobozon ripped out it's wheel tubs? You can see the results of that every time Rick made a pass. The cabin filled up with so much smoke, Rick told me he could not see anything by the 330 foot mark. He just hung on tight to the steering wheel and let Lobozon guide the way. The look of that car going down the track with smoke blowing out of it is just awesome. Got to give credit to the San Antonio Outlaws for giving it their best. One of the crew guy's told me, "We pull timing out and the car slows down. We add more timing and it over powers the track." Well, as you can see in the video, some of our guy's were running into the same problem. Check out the video. It's the best racing of 2007.

What can I say about last night other than WOW!!!....What a night. It was everything I had hoped and dreamed of. The race turned out with just the right mix of cars. A couple of Pro Stockers, a few Pro-Mods, some True 10.5 Turbo cars and some Outlaw 10.5 nitrous monsters. I said it would be something the Valley had never seen before and I was right. Aside from a few breakdowns in the first round, the race was simply amazing!

And speaking about amazing. How about that Lobozon Chevy II out of Area 51 Racing! This car is brand new guy's! It had just a couple of day's to test & tune and it came out to put a whoopin' on anything and everything that lined up against. Rick Garcia, the driver, did an amazing job of taming the beast and getting it down the track without so much as a scratch. We are now calling Rick, The Horsepower Whisperer...LOL!...Cause he has a knack for calming down these unruly beasts and getting them to do what he wants. Congratulations to all of the BENGAR crew and Area 51 Racing for not only setting the ET Record of the night with a 4.86 @ 144mph, but also winning the over all race. Great job guy's. If this is just the beginning of Lobozon, I pitty anyone who happens to line up against this monster. For all of their hard work, they took home the big prize money, the $250 for the fastest ET and a very nice trophy from Thomae Nitrous Supply.







In second place was none other than Rene Deluna and the Phillip Nelson owned Snap On Cutlass. If any car posed a threat to everyone, this car was it. Running on rails on rails all night and a string of 5.00's almost guaranteed the win for the Snap On crew. But it was not to be. With a race that will forever be in my memory, Rene left hard on Lobozon and it was a big surprise to all of us, including Rene to see the Chevy II come around him at the 1/8 mile with smoke coming out of every opening in the car. Awesome final guy's! We could hope for none better. For their work, Rene Deluna took him $750 and another nice trophy from Thomae Nitrous Supply.







And our 3rd place winner was also our biggest sponsor and the only True Street car running in this race. I am talking about Angel Padilla and the crew from Pro Tech Performance out of Weslaco, Texas. These guy's went in knowing they were bringing a pocket knife to a missle fight. But Angel was not about to miss this race and a chance at getting back some of his money. Unfortunately, the only Chevy part on this Turbo Mustang gave out. The Powerglide transmission was not up to the task and gave up the ghost. Angel said he's got some more work to do. But he will be ready for any other race we come up with. Good job guy's.....

• Thanks to the Marco and his crew that put this race together we had a lot of fun last night. The Lobozon was a handful at first but eventually got it running in the 4 second range with a very very mild tune up and only two of the three stages of N2O . All i can san is its not the Black Bastard thats for damn sure. We did pretty good over all considering the car only had 6 passes coming into Friday night. The horsepower whisperer sound pretty cool i guess as long as its not RED LIGHT RICK, Ebrom's gonna get a foot in his ass if he keeps it up LOL. I guess the Valley does have fast cars after all. Thanks again to Marco and his Crew, Pro-Tech Crew, Thomae nitrous supply, And the Snap-On crew they gave us the closest race of the night i thought it was over until the Mexican Warefolf hit second gear and started chopping that lead down, Third gear was just so we would have some air to spare between us. -- Rick Garcia (BEN-GAR RACING) or the Horsepower Whisperer, 22:07:13 12/22/07 Sat

I am working as fast as I can to get all the video's up tonight. But I don't think I'm going to make it. I did finish the photo gallery with about 150 pictures, snapped by my Son, Christopher and my buddy Abel Puentes. The front page is also updated with the gallery as well. Again, I want to thank everyone who came out to race with us last night. For the fans that could not make the race, check us out tomorrow (Sunday). I will have the full qualifying rounds and all of the final rounds. As well as the #1 Spot race between The Iceman and Bridgi, where Sergio Jr. (Iceman) ripped out a very impressive 8.94 @ 151mph pass. So stay tuned for more action.....

  • OK NO EXCUSES OR CRY BABYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO WON LAST NIGHT I LEFT @12:40 DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE FINAL RACES -- ELI, 08:03:18 12/22/07 Sat
• Jay, the track is always prepped. But it's hard to keep it sticky when you have 200 kids out there racing their daily drivers with street tires and the A/C running. If we can control this, the way the track controls it for the bracket cars, I don't think we will have any traction issues. -- Mod, 11:17:40 12/21/07 Fri
• Just wondering who won? -- BIRD, 00:31:44 12/22/07 Sat

• Tommy, you pay $100 to enter the Outlaw race. This is before qualifying. The money of those that did not qualify will be added to the purse. -- Mod, 07:19:23 12/20/07 Thu
• I will give you an example, when you enter the gates at Edinburg International Racetrack the lady asks what class you are going to run, right? OK then you tell her (for example) pro street and then you give her 30 bucks. If you do not qualify she still keeps your 30 bucks, you do not get it back, you do not get to see if you can qualify and pay after. So with that being said, if you want to try and qualify you must pay the 100.00 before hand just like any other race track in the country. Hope this clears things up for you. -- Henry Thomae, 07:22:21 12/20/07 Thu
• Its like poker you Pay to Play....once your out your out....so if you don't make the 16 car field you get to watch from the sidelines... -- mike, 09:46:31 12/20/07 Thu
• OK I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT IT THANKS ANYWAYS -- TOMMY, 17:18:22 12/20/07 Thu
• Tommy, don't give up without even trying. Besides, I was talking to Isaac Ebrom at the track last night and he told me we are lucky if we even get five cars to show up for the race. I think we'll have more. But will we get the full sixteen cars? That remains to be seen. -- Mod, 18:24:43 12/20/07 Thu
• We might get only five cars to show up, but it will be Snap on (4.90's), Lobozon (4.90's), Tweety (5.00's), Nemesis (5.30's), Vela (5.00's) Thomae (5.??), just to name a few. So with that being said, looks like 5.00's are going to be the average times to beat tonight. So Tommy don't feel bad if you guys don't want to run in this Ultimate Shootout. -- undertaker598, 07:41:14 12/21/07 Fri
• Like I said before, this race is NOT FOR CRY BABIES! If you don't want to put up $100 for a chance to win more. Then it's very simple. Don't run. Stay in the stands. But you will always be rememberd as The Crybabies...LOL!...See you all at the track tonight! -- Mod, 08:11:16 12/21/07 Fri
• im not scared see you all tonight -- ANGEL NEMESIS PADILLA, 08:17:20 12/21/07 Fri

• Thanks for the report Ralph. I had to leave a little early. Yeah, with those numbers, it's going to be a hard fight to the end. I know Angel will be very dangerous if he can just keep the nose of his coupe down. I will have video's up later tonight. -- Mod, 14:00:00 12/20/07 Thu

• I hope you did not change the rules, It says Pro Stocks on the flyer, we wanted to take a spanking brand new Rick Jones Cavaleir Pro Stock with a 722ci Sonny Leonard, but you cleary stated no Pro Stock hoods. So Im hoping thats still stands. -- Eric, 22:15:17 12/19/07 Wed
• Eric, this is just the flyer for the race that we passed out to the fans. The rule of NO PRO-STOCK HOODSCOOPS! Still stands. -- Mod, 07:20:43 12/20/07 Thu
• at the next event your gonna have to step upon the rules...weight limit and on 10.5 w's -- just a thought, 12:49:43 12/20/07 Thu

• Autostart or not? -- AKB Racing- Corpus Christi, Tx, 08:39:39 12/19/07 Wed
• agree, Autostart also keeps things moving quickly. Just remember that with Autostart, comes courtesy staging. But on the other side, Paul Thomas runs the tree and he does not play games. Once both cars are in, he flips the switch. The ladder can be run on a Pro-Ladder like you stated where #1 runs #16. Which is how we run our Pro-Street program I believe. -- Mod, 10:18:35 12/19/07 Wed
• I say let the tree man, Paul Thomas, do his job like he has been doing all year, no autostart. He doesn't mess around, you stage and boom it's on. Also, in my opinion, number one qualifier should run #16, #2 run #15 and so on and so fourth. Just my 2 cents worth, if you want 2 rounds of qualifing better start early cause we will never finish. -- Henry Thomae, 17:46:40 12/19/07 Wed

• Sergio, no one is running for the #1 Spot yet. If no one runs you for the other spots, you can always make a pass for the #1 Spot on Friday. -- Mod, 00:06:33 12/17/07 Mon

• yeah go for the 1st spot! -- chuck lidell, 09:27:06 12/17/07 Mon
• I thought that if no one was going to run for the number ! spot . You were going to bump everyone up a spot. -- TDR FAN, 12:31:50 12/17/07 Mon
• That was just an idea. But I decided against it. The #1 Spot has been open for a long time now. If Sergio wants it, it's his. All he has to do is make a pass for it. -- Mod, 13:20:08 12/17/07 Mon

Speaking of Pro Stocks, how about the team of Luis Vela? That's right, Luis wants in on this history making event. I told him, rip off the big scoop and come on! I figured he would say, naw, I don't want to mess with the car. But his reply was, HELL YEAH! I'm in! Word is a new hood is already on order and will be ready for the 21st. Now I know his Cavalier is fast, but something tells me they better throw some laughing gas on that sucker if they even want to be in the mix.

Right now, you might be scratching your head, wondering. Why would a 4 second all motor Pro Stock need nitrous? He's got the thing won right? Well, not exactly. You see, he will have to go up against Pro Mods!..No this isn't a big Nitro Burning Pro Mod like Gaylen Smith runs, but it is close to enough to scare the living crap out of you. Aubie Barron's 1955 Pro Mod is one of them Automatic Pro Mods and it runs on alcohol. What does it run you ask? How about some 7.50's at more than 180 miles per hour! Aubie told me he is not set up for 1/8 mile, but he will give it a run. Like he said, I'm bored and the 55 need's to stretch it's legs a little.

Speaking of Pro Mods! How about Ray Jasso and the San Antonio Outlaws? That's right, they are making their way back down to the Valley on the 21st. They are on a quest to take home some shopping money and try to conquer our local track. They had a hard time slipping and sliding the last time they were down here. Maybe this time they will pull a little bit of boost out of their combinations and things will go better for them. Ray told me, counting Aubie's 55 Chevy, they will be bringing a total of 4 cars for this race.

I know some of these out of towners feel like it might be easy pickings. But they are not counting on our local racers stepping up the game big time! A team that has already done that is the team of Garcia's Racing. Sometime during the night, in a secret lab, they managed to cut, chop and re-weld enough metal out of the way to fit a 700+ cubic inch howitzer between the fenders of the beautiful 1956 Chevy Shoebox. ET's in the 4 second range will not be a problem at all. And a big load of giggle gas will be standing by. Just in case it's needed. Or who knows, they might use it anyway, just because it's there....

• I think that if Luis Vela can't run his Pro Stock Scoop, then the Blowers shoud not be allowed neither. They get just as much air or even more air. What if we get a Blower look alike scoop on our carbs,can it stick out of the hood??????? -- HOME TOWN HERO...., 12:25:10 12/13/07 Thu
• The INJECTION HATS on the blowers are the INJECTION SYSTEMS for the engines. Removing them would be like you removing your carburetor from your engine. I cannot believe this is so hard for people to understand. Anyone with any kind of engine or mechanical knowledge should understand this. The rule is simple. NO PRO STOCK HOOD SCOOPS ALLOWED!

Congratulations again to Henry Thomae and Crew. As if winning the 2007 championship wasn't enough, Henry went all out Friday night and won the last race of the season. Rick Garcia, driving the Black Bastard gave it a hell of a run, but got caught off guard at the lights and the race was over before it began. It's cool watching Henry and Rick go at it at EIRT, after seeing race each other at the RGV Mud Drags, in Los Fresnos, Texas. Good job guy's, you are all winners and Rock Stars in my book.







We also have to give major kudos to Ed Galbraith for driving his small block powered Vega Wagon to a win in the 9.90 Super Rod class. He was up against some heavy hitters like Tony Rosio, Luis Vela, Paul Ebrom and Sergio Paez. But he still managed to fend them all off and end up in the finals against Mario Cantu, who went a little too fast and broke out. Good job Ed. And good job to Mario Cantu. Hey, being too fast is a nice problem to have right.

• good job -- adam, 02:51:51 12/16/07 Sun
