Ellis Keeps G2 Win Machine in High Gear

Chip Ellis/Matt Smith/G2 Motorsports NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle
Post-Race Team Report

Event: O'Reilly Midwest Nationals
Dates: June 23-25, 2006
Location: Gateway International Raceway, Madison, Illinois

The G2 Motorsports NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle team capped off their three-races-in-three-weeks road trip with their second straight win, this time courtesy of Chip Ellis and the DRAG Specialties/S&S Cycle Buell. Gaining momentum as raceday wore on, Ellis took out Louisiana privateer Michael Phillips in the final round of the O'Reilly Midwest Nationals near St. Louis. Chip is now 4-0 in NHRA finals.

"Big" Johnson Makes the Big Call

Through the first three rounds of qualifying, Ellis hardly looked to be heading to the winners circle. Mired in tenth, Chip was two rounds behind teammate Matt Smith, the winner at Englistown last week on the Torco Race Fuels/Skull Gear Buell. The momentum of Matt's win and Chip's 6-second, number 1 qualifying performances seemed to have withered in the stifling St. Louis heat and humidity.

But then Ellis's crew chief Ken "Big" Johnson made a decision that turned their weekend around. "We had kept tuning on the motor that we went 6's with in Chicago and Englishtown," said Ellis. "It's been in the bike through this whole three week stretch. But in the first round of qualifying I hit the bump in the right lane and went from third to fourth right away, basically skipping third altogether. I think that caused some detonation and did something to the motor. Ken made the call to change engines and after that we were flying."

Ellis went from a best of 7.17 to a 7.09 and all the way to third. "Honestly, I think we could have qualified on the pole but I left one of the oil lines loose and we had no vacuum," reported Chip. "We went 7.09 with no vacuum."

Round 1 Hits and Misses

Meanwhile, Smith was consistent in qualifying, but consistent .16's in the middle of the pack. On raceday, though, Matt's bike fell off to a 7.27 in round 1. That wasn't good enough to get past Angelle Sampey and Smith would have to be a spectator the rest of the day. "I was disappointed the way the bike ran this weekend," said Matt. "But the team finally figured Chip's bike out and it flew."

"Saturday night, we put a new engine in Matt's bike because it had worked so well when we put a new one in Chip's," said George Bryce, the Star Racing half of G2. "But in the first round Sunday morning, we didn't have the correct tune-up in the fuel injection and it was really rich. It was perplexing to us because obviously it worked with Chip's. But it turned out that we'd missed the fuel percentage a lot. Matt drove it real good, got a good light, and hit his shift points and he deserved a better result. We tried to talk about his run back at the trailer and he said 'Let's concentrate on Chip.' Matt's become a really good teammate to Chip."

Ellis caught a huge break when Karen Stoffer redlit against him in round 1. "We should have gone home first round, but we had luck on our side," said Chip. "And we haven't had too much luck all year. We'd pinched some coil wires. About halfway through third gear, it went on one cylinder and I shut it off. I thought we'd blown the motor, but Ken found those wires."

Steve Johnson also redlit against Ellis in the second round, but this time Chip didn't need the break. "My bike was fast (7.13), and it was just a normal run," said Ellis, who said much the same about his winning 7.14 against Sampey in the semis. Again in the final against Phillips, Chip and the Buell kept it steady with a 7.15 while Phillips bogged and fell off to a 7.29.

"It was just our day," said Ellis. "All went smooth other than that one little incident. I was kidding George Smith (the S&S half of G2) on the phone Saturday night. I said 'I'm sorry you're not gonna be there to see me win.' He's a vital part of our organization and I wish he could have been there for the win."

"I'm thrilled to death and smiling from ear to ear that Chip won," said Matt. "If you can't win, you want your teammate to win."

"Chip was solid as a rock and we were very fortunate to run all our laps consistent," said Bryce. "It was very tempting yesterday to make dramatic tuning changes."

The win provided a special backdrop for some of G2's sponsors. Dan and Sharon Haak of DRAG Specialties were there shooting photos and writing a story. "And St. Louis area dealer Doc's Harley-Davidson were associate sponsors for the weekend," continued Bryce. "Their whole staff was there plastered to the suite windows like decals and gummi bears for the final, then screaming and yelling in the winners circle!"

The Long Road Winds Down

"After being on the road for 21 days straight, my longest road trip as a touring pro, I'm very proud of our assembled cast," said Bryce. "We had everybody cooped up in trucks and hotel rooms and washing clothes. We're not naturally forced to live in such close proximity to people who aren't blood relatives, but we've all gelled in the common interest of winning races, along with the gang back at G2 and the powerplant providers at S&S."

Bryce also pointed out the winner of the Chicago race was G2 customer Ryan Schnitz, and St. Louis number 1 qualifier was G2 customer Tom Bradford. That meant that G2 Buells swept the table of wins and number 1 qualifiers on the grueling 3 race stretch. "Our customers have some serious engine development programs, and those guys are gonna continue to go to the front," said George.

"To sum it all up for our team," finished Ellis. "Three races, gone for 21 days, won two races, on the pole twice, went in the 6's twice. I think that says a lot about our team and how everybody is working together right now. And I feel really good. That redlight thing at Englishtown made me better for sure. I'm ready to go again. We'll freshen everything up and head on out to Denver."

Junior Dragsters at South Georgia Motorsports Park

by Marvin T. Smith

Junior Dragsters converged on Cecil, Georgia from all over the country for the LB Trailers Jr. Drag Points Challenge Presented by Haulmark Motor Coaches, June23-25. Entries from as far away as Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania raced against their southern counterparts in a tremendous event with 153 entries. With assistance from CSR, the event went off without a hitch.

In Saturday action, Carlton Douglas of Greenbrier, Tennessee beat KlineWhitley of Kathleen, Georgia to win the 7.90 class when Whitley fouled. Local hitter Ladson Selph beat Krista Whitley to claim the 8.90 Class when he won on reaction time and better elapsed time. The 9.90 Class was claimed by Taylor McMillen of Mesquite, Texas over Travis Stutz of Ooltewah, Tennessee. The competitors launched with identical reaction times, but McMillen had the winning elapsed time. In the 12.90 Class, Cole Wood of Jefferson, Georgia beat A. J. Williams of Thomasville, Georgia when A. J. broke out. Will Speir of Lafayette, Georgia won the Outlaw 330 Class over Buddy Perkinson of Hopewell, Virginia with a better reaction time and elapsed time. Shelby Latino of Belle Rose, Louisiana won the Full Tree Class over Brian Chason of Whigham, Georgia with the best winning reaction time of any of the finals, a fine .031.

Sunday action was hurried due to the threat of showers. Competition on Sunday was organized in age categories. A. J. Williams beat Cole Wood in the 8-9 Age Group to avenge his Saturday finals loss. A. J. ran a fine 12.92 when Cole Wood fouled by .009. A. J. Head of Jackson, Georgia won the 10-12 Age Group over Dylan Kent from Acworth, Georgia. A. J.’s 8.953 caught the quicker leaving Kent’s 8.992. Chelsea VanCleave from Antioch, Tennessee beat Amber Mahon from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania to claim the 13-14 Age Group. Chelsea ran a 7.976 (r.t .085) to beat Amber’s close 7.956 (r.t. .100). In the 15 and up category, Erica Stormes of Eminence, KY beat Jake Sealey of Aiken, SC. The big number one on Sealey’s car, won at the 2005 Eastern Conference Championship, didn’t intimidate Stormes, who ran a 7.986 on her 7.99 dial to beat Jake’s 7.951 on his 7.96 dial in a double breakout thriller. In the Quick 32 Class, run over the 330 foot course, Shawna Burnett of Clarksville, Indiana beat Shelby Latino of Bell Rose, Louisiana when Latino broke.

RFC RACERS WIN BOTH JR DRAGSTER CLASSES, FRIZIE ENJOYS FIRST SUPER PRO WIN DURING POWERADE / INGLES NIGHT OF FIRE AT ATLANTA DRAGWAY

RACE DATE: June 24, 2006
FROM: Tim Glover
EVENT: Powerade / Ingles Night of Fire at Atlanta Dragway in 2006


(Commerce, GA - June 24) Racers and fans enjoyed another special event at Atlanta Dragway, the Powerade / Ingles Night of Fire. Fans were treated again to the largest fireworks show in North Georgia, flame throwing jet cars, a wheelstander and many activities in the anufacturer's midway like the Coca Cola Ticket Tank and the Applebee's display. Elaine Larsen from central Florida wowed the fans with her immaculately built, Embry Riddle University backed Miss Ta Fire jet dragster, which ran "Full Throttle" in the high five second range at 265 plus mph, after putting on a great flame and smoke show that rattled the tower windows. Running alongside Larson was Dennis Roslansky's Crossfire jet dragster which matched Larsen's performance
and even took two out of three wins in their match racing. Danny O'Day impressed the fans with his wheelstanding Superwinch '34 Ford, running down the quarter mile at an incredible 145mph on only the rear wheels. Fred "Airplane" Sibley entertained the fans by literally melting a hapless F150 pickup with the flamed exhaust blasting out the tailpipe of his Allison J33
powered "Beer Hauler" '23 Pierce Arrow. Ben Bridges, the Atlanta Dragway announcer, kept the fans entertained during down time by giving away Powerade, Koozies, tee shirts and Ingles Gift Certificates. A really lucky fan, Richard Izquierdo from McDonough, GA won one of two Schwinn chopper bicycles given away. "My boys will love it," he added.

Mother Nature added to the fireworks show by adding numerous lightning flashes in the distance, some of which kept time with the explosions. Although it was raining all around the area, to the delight of fans, the rain held off until after the show was over at Atlanta Dragway.

The two local RFC (Racers for Christ) chaplains were the proud fathers of the winners in both classes of Jr Dragster. Lloyd Shanks' daughter, nine year old Saline, won her first ever event in 8-12 Jr Dragster, followed moments later by Scott Griffith's son, Taylor (15 years old), who won 13-17 Jr Dragster.

Mike Frizie from Winston, GA debuted his '03 Racecraft dragster at the 2003 Powerade / Ingles Night of Fire, and enjoyed his first Atlanta Dragway Super Pro win at the 2006 edition of the same event. After an hour long wait in the staging lanes for the fireworks who and exhibition runs, Frizie strapped on his helmet, got behind the wheel, and slowed his machine just a tad to a
winning 5.19 at 130.20mph (5.16 dial). His final round victim was veteran racer Ed Nalley from nearby Maysville, who slowed even more in his '76 Vega to a 6.73 at 93.74mph (6.67 target). Last week's Super Pro winner, Hank Wilhelm ('88 Spitzer dragster - Commerce, GA), had a great 13 round win streak snapped in the semi-final round. The other semi-finalist was Jerry
Brown ('98 S10 pickup - Winder, GA). Frizie thanked sponsors Dugco Supply and Chicago Pneumatic for their part in the victory. Frizie gave a special thanks to his mom, dad, brother Brannon and friend Fred. He then dedicated his win to his wife Marcia and son Alex. Frizie received another pleasant surprise when he was a warded a special Dunco Construction / Atlanta Dragway Super Pro winner's trophy.

Madison, GA racer Adam Stratton and his dad Chris spend a lot of time together racing the '73 Maverick they put together a few years ago, and the work paid off again with a victory in Pro against veteran racer Jacob Rutledge, who hails from Braselton, GA. "I didn't really know who he was," said Stratton about Rutledge, and he just raced his own race. Stratton actually survived a double breakout affair after his machine went too quick with an 11.63 at 118.15mph (11.64 dial). However, Rutledge's '79 Capri broke out even more with an 11.77 at 112.75mph (11.80 target). Bill Boomhower of Walhalla, SC made it to the semi-final round with his Nostalgia Super
Stocker '65 Belvedere. Stratton thanked his dad, girlfriend Shelly and Gabriel Machine of Winterville, GA for the help.

Brian Harris, the 2002 Atlanta Dragway Sportsman champion, met 2003 Atlanta Dragway Sportsman champ (and 2005 points runner up), Mel Abney of Cumming, GA, during the 2006 Night of Fire Sportsman final. Abney took an early advantage in the reaction time department, but the TRD Racing Development package on Harris' Toccoa, GA based '06 Tacoma apparently did a great job, by helping him post a race winning 15.88 at 84.41mph (15.87 dial). Abney's
Camaro crossed the finish line 0.013 seconds later with a 13.25 at 102.02mph (13.16 dial). It's been a long day, added Harris. "I'm glad we were at least able to get finished," said Abney. I almost didn't come because of the possibility of rain. Abney is currently in a three way tie for second place in the points. Kevin Rich ('93 Explorer - Hull, GA), who is currently seventh in the points, finished in the semi-final round, along with Sid Hopper ('72 Satellite - Gainesville, GA).

Hershel Sorrells of Hull, GA brought out his ultra-fast '96 Suzuki Katana for the Night of Fire, and went home with the Motorcycle win. Sorrells met friend and fellow racer Dennis Willis ('97 Honda - Hull, GA) in the final. After Willis' machine kept insisting on going up, into a wheelstand, instead of going forward, Sorrells had a lot of room at the big end to slow down to a winning 9.50 at 115.32mph (8.78 dial). Willis put a way off pace 11.59 at 99.78mph (10.00 target) on the scoreboard. Last week's Motorcycle winner, Howard Bowman ('82 Harley - Homer, GA) was one of the semi-final finishers. Scott Saemisch ('78 Kawasaki - Dacula, GA) rounded out the field of
semi-finalists.

A very happy nine year old RFC racer, Saline Shanks, enjoyed winning her first ever event in 8-12 Jr Dragster. Shanks was actually a bit tardy in the reaction time department, but the win light popped on in her lane after her opponent Jacqueline Lastinger 912 - Lilburn, GA) took too much finish line and broke out with an 8.94 at 71.55mph (8.98 dial). Shank's Pendergrass, GA
based racecar went 13.13 at 49.78mph (13.07 goal) for the win. Chris Bowden (10 - Homer, GA) and Mitchell Hennessee (11 - Dallas, GA) earned semi-final trophies for their day's work. "I'm happy I finally won, added the second year racer, who repeated the verse, "I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength," prior to each round of competition.

Another RFC racer, Taylor Griffith, thanked Richard Lastinger and other friends who loaned their team parts all day en route to his 13-17 Jr Dragster victory. "We blew up nearly everything, including the motor and torque converter, during the race. It's been a rough day," added the happy Griffith. Griffith's troubles continued into the final when his car fell off
sharply to a 9.90 at only 48.42mph (9.65 dial). However, Griffith was aided by his opponent, "Wild Kyle" Denton (16 - McDonough, GA), who crossed the finish line first, but too quickly, posting a breakout loss time of 7.95 at 68.33mph (8.00 dial). Defending champ, Team PTI racer Lauren Turner (15 - Pendergrass, GA) and Chase Mullinax (14 - Buford, GA) were the semi-finalist trophy winners.

Sanctioned by the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), Atlanta Dragway is located just off I-85 at Exit 149 in the Banks Crossing area of Commerce, Georgia. Information on all 2004 events may be obtained by calling the track office (706-335-2301) or logging on to www.atlantadragway.com.
