Broussard Breaks Records With First Win
Marriott Marches Into Points Lead
Labor Day Weekends provide a chance to forget about work, bills and worries and instead kick back and enjoy a long weekend of rest, relaxation and quiet. Or ground pounding, ear piercing and totally out of control Outlaw Fuel Altered drag racing, whatever your preference may be. Smokin’ Mo-Kan Dragway hosted their 43rd Annual Napa Labor Day Weekend Classic and for the sixth year in a row the Royal Purple Outlaw Fuel Altereds headlined the show. If you weren’t at this event you really missed out because when there are 16 fuel altereds on the ground at Mo-Kan your face better be in the place! It’s a two day nitro filled fuel altered spectacular with two sessions of qualifying on Saturday night and an eight car full elimination field on Sunday afternoon.
Let’s kick off qualifying with a side by side nitro burning first pair featuring Donnie Massey’s “Showtime” along side Bobby Marriott’s “Shockwave.” Will we see threes to start the show? You bet. Massey laid down a stout 3.96 at 178 mph with Marriott clicking off a nice 4.08 at 185 mph. Next up John Broussard laid down a career best 4.11 at 172 mph in the Lake Charles, Louisiana based “Purple Haze” ride. Although Hurricane Gustav had a lock on their hometown, the Broussard boys are drag racers, fuel altered drag racers, and drag racers race no matter what! A nice lap here by Broussard to start off the weekend. Larry Reep’s “Grim Reeper” went 4.18 at 172 mph with DoDad Burton’s “Free Spirit” machine clicking off a 4.33 at 165 mph. J.T. Heslink wheeled the “Punisher” to a solid 4.12 at 169 mph and Chris White debuted the new look “White Lightning” machine and set a career mark at 4.17 at 170 mph with Lurch power providing the ponies in his ride.

Team “Excitation” Triumphs at
North Star Dragway
To celebrate the North Star Dragway’s 2nd Anniversary under new ownership the Royal Purple Outlaw Fuel Altereds headlined a spectacular event Saturday July 5th in Denton, Texas. Over a dozen fuel altereds and junior fuel dragsters competed at North Star and a pair of alcohol funny cars and a/fuel dragsters put the icing on the cake as a record crowd jammed into the facility. The Outlaw Fuel Altereds started the second half of their eight race season with Nick Poloson and the Tom Wood owned “Sundown” team atop the points standings. The team is coming off career best performances at the last event which they won, marking Poloson’s second OFAA win of the season. Winning an Outlaw Fuel Altered event is not an easy thing to do as any team will tell you. The fields are heavy and strong; let’s just say you have to bring your “A” game if you want to hoist the trophy at the end of the night.
Fans were lined up two rows deep past the track entrance as the fuel altereds towed to the lanes and fans were eager for some wild and wacky fuel altered fun. Circuit President Bobby Marriott kicked off the show in fine style as usual with Chris White along side. Marriott clicked off a 4.05 at 185 mph with White following at 4.60 at 155 mph in “White Lightning.” Next up Brad Rigler laid down a 4.15 at 170 mph, a nice start for the Danny Wright tuned “Toxic” machine. Points leader Nick Poloson made a monstrous 4.03 at 181 mph, re-setting his career best performance with a stout Tom Wood tune-up. Former North Star Dragway track record holder Travis Bouchey rolled out and clicked off a 4.19 at 137 mph in the “Excitation.” Donny McSwain closed the first qualifying session with a stout 3.97 at 179 mph in the “II N’Tense” which also re-set a career best mark.

“Sundown” Scores Second Win
The Royal Purple Outlaw Fuel Altereds put on their Summer Nationals at Ben Bruce Raceway in Evadale, Texas on Saturday June 21st. This event marked the halfway point of the 2008 racing season which has been fortunate for some and forgettable for others. Nick Poloson, Donnie Massey and Bobby Marriott have scored wins in the first three events and all hold a spot in the Royal Purple Top 5 points standings. Ben Bruce Raceway is a very unique place to race. Built on an abandoned landing strip, this facility is simply one long strip with nothing but grandstands on each side. The pits are located in the first half of the strip and the track itself makes up the second half. Surrounded by trees the echo of fuel altereds brings goose bumps to those who understand their power. Combine all this with stadium style wrap around grandstands circling the starting line and you’ve got a fun filled event on your hands and what better way to do it than with some blown fuel altered drag racing!
The 2008 season has seen three different winners and no re-peat finalists as the competition is as strong as it has been in series history. Seeing a three second pass has almost become expected and the number of cars capable of running low fours is growing per race. It’s no easy thing to win an Outlaw Fuel Altered event as any of the competitors can tell you. Thirteen blown bandits came to give it their all in Evadale and the Royal Purple Summer Nationals got underway with two of the strongest teams, the “Shockwave” of Bobby Marriott and “Sundown” of Nick Poloson.
