What an awesome event! Just now getting around to posting. This event is just a ton of fun. The perfect weather and well run program made the weekend stress free! The match races with the Pro-Mods were fun to watch! Last but not least being around all of our racing family and friends all weekend just makes it a blast! My kids had an absolute blast trick or treating and of course winning funniest kids costume!! Winning a few bucks didn't hurt either!

Thanks to the sponsors that stepped up for this weekend and gave us an awesome Ghost Goblins and Gearheads!

What a list of sponsors it is, too!

A huge thank you to our Ghosts, Goblins & Gearheads Race sponsors. Their support for the weekend was invaluable, allowing us to give out the great prizes, pay the purse, give the Happy Gilmore checks, award Iron Man trophies, and give away a 5 day, 4 night trip to Las Vegas! Please support those who support us!

Way overdue to throw congratulations out there to Kim and Joe Fox Jr on the birth of their son last week. Congrats to Kristin and Nick Esposito on the birth of their daughter yesterday. The potential for the junior dragster class to be full of hitters in about 8 years keeps growing!

Congrats to Bob McDonough for knocking down the box gamblers last night in Norwalk! Steve Obertanec continued his hot streak, getting the win in the no box gamblers.

And it looks like Nick and Matt were having some fun in the Class C motorhome final Tuesday night!

Anyone looking to get another race in. Empire Dragway has a 5k on Saturday.

I broke a rod in my mopar engine on the Halloween weekend race. I am considering switching the dragster to a Chevy based motor and would like some feedback on which head you guys run and it’s performance. This would be chevy big block only….especially interested in thoughts on the brodix heads, Dart heads, Bill Mitchel heads and Profiller heads (if anyone is running them).

I have tons of mopar engine related parts for sale. The 572 from the dragster is for sale (world block, -1 indy heads, all eagle rotating, ross pistons) along with the shorty mopar glide with 1.80 straight cut gears. The 572 dyno’d at 892 HP on alcohol and 848 on gas. I also have an unassembled 493 short block with Indy-ez heads, mopar mega block, 4150 manifold.

Any chevy head info will be appreciated. If interested in some mopar engine components, or selling any BBC components feel free to contact me through this web site.

It really depends on how fast you want to go and the money you want to spend. A basic 582 with Brodix 3xtra-o 365 heads should run 7.50s/7.40's in a 4 link dragster. I have a complete 598 with the SR20 heads I would sell for $26,000 with carb and converter.

Sorry to hear about the carnage, Bob. I hope the Chevy works out for you. Still have the Charger?

Good time at Mason Dixon for the SBRA weekend. Thanks again to my buddy Rich Penn for the use of the Trans Am. Joe Devola is THE MAN!!! Wins Friday night, runnered up on Saturday in the gamblers races, runnered up on Sunday in the main event. Congrats to Rick Clay for getting best appearing dragster.

Congrats to Joe Tharp Jr for winning Sportsman at the Halloween Classic on Sunday! Great showing by the PRP racers, Nick Bowman runnered up in the Friday High Rollers No Box gamblers, and Matt Palyas Sr runnered up in the Friday High Rollers Box gamblers. Gino Fagnilli runnered up in Top Gun on Sunday.

Great job to all.

I still have my 1998 fleetwood flair motorhome for sale. 57k miles, 30'11" class A with 454 vortec. Hitch is reinforced for towing. Contact me if interested. 11,500

PRP site and FB page are showing tomorrow's test and tune has been postponed to Sunday. Looking forward to seeing Rich Penn's son Kyle make his first passes in the junior dragster. Good way to spend the day before the Vegas race and the Steelers game come on.

Well Chuck didnt make sunday but were loaded and ready for saturday,Kyle is super pumped to go down the track,no sports this weekend other than an early basketball practice at 900 to 1000 am.so pleeeease mother nature beeee god for saturday.He did sopme practice laps in the culdesec yesterday,and on the last run up the street got on it hard,you couldnt wipe that smile from his face,i asked him did that feel good he said ohhhhh yeah lol

I can just imagine how big he was cheesin' on that. I really hope the weather cooperates for this weekend. Time for you to join http://www.jrdragsterplus.com/phpBB2/ Rich!

3rd annual GobbleFest is in 2 weeks! Catered Thanksgiving style lunch in between race 1 and 2, rsvp required - email Pam or Amber (addresses on the flyer). This is a lot of fun, good way to wrap up the season.

Chuck we gona double up on the truck again

I saw on Facebook that Walt Siler passed away. Godspeed Walt, you will be missed by many.

Had an awesome day with Kyle andJaden at the track,so looking foward to next year the boy was cracking a couple of god lights allready

Very sorry to hear of Walt's passing.

Rich, you know I'm down to double it up. That was awesome seeing Kyle and Jaden both get all their runs in for their licenses. I still think you and Dave were cheesin' bigger than the boys were. And I think it's great that not only is there 2 more junior dragster racers, but also that Samantha's car and Thomas' car are staying in the PRP family.

I COULDNT BELIEVE ON KYLES 3RD AND 4TH PASS HE WAS .025 AND .002.DEFINATLY TAKES AFTER THE OLD MAN LOL

anyone know of a jr for my sons? Been looking around...

Thanks

I said it many times, until you experience it, you will not ever believe how much fun it is "standing" on the starting line.

......man I'm going to miss racing juniors

Jesse, if I see anything pop up in FB from the local racers, I'll post it up here.

Steve, I can only imagine. It was really cool to see Kyle and Jaden make their passes, and how into it Rich and Dave are. Great stuff for sure.
