Robeck Custom Fabrication thanks the PNSCA for allowing us to sponsor this PNSCA event.  For those of you who aren’t already familiar with RCF, we are an Oregon based company that is in business specifically to serve drag racers.  RCF can serve your needs in three areas: (1) fabrication – from building new one-off cars to performing minor updates; (2) building and rebuilding transmissions; and (3) sales of parts at prices even Jegs can’t touch.  RCF is an authorized distributor of a number of product lines, including Strange; Transmission Specialties; Reid Racing; Mark Williams; and many others.  We ask for the opportunity to earn your business; please see Mike Robeck for more information and to receive an RCF brochure.  RCF commits to the PNSCA that if the PNSCA members bring business RCF’s way, RCF will continue to sponsor the PNSCA; something else you don’t get through Jegs or Summit!

The PNSCA thanks RCF for their dedication to Super Comp racing in the Pacific Northwest!

Power Punch Performance Lubricants

PNSCA is proud to announce that Power Punch Performance Lubricates has returned as our Series Title Sponsor.  We couldn’t be happier to have them on board for another year, and we encourage all PNSCA racers to try Power Punch lubricates and spread the word to their friends.

Thanks again to Pete and the Power Punch team for their continued commitment to Super Comp racing in the Northwest.  And a huge thank you to Chuck Linne for making this happen.  We look forward to a great Power Punch Super Comp Series for 2010!

Can't Wait for the Season to Start

The PNSCA Annual Meeting was held at 1:00pm yesterday.  Thank you to all those who took the time to attend.

In attendance were: our hosts Greg and Darla Pessemier, PNSCA President Ed Hauter, Treasurer Connie Schmoll, Bob Woodruff, Steve Iverson, Steve Iverson Jr., Howard Johnson, Chuck Linne, Tom Gresham, and Chris Williams.  The business items discussed were:

• With John Young recently tendering his resignation as VP, we need a new VP and Sponsor Coordinator.  Chris Williams (yours truly) was nominated and elected to the post.  This was done with the understanding that he’ll need the help of the longer-term members to wrangle sponsors, since he’s relatively new to the organization.  All those in attendance promised to assist.
• The Rules were reviewed and edited.  The updated rules can be seen here.  Other than the additional of a small annual membership fee (see below), there were mostly clarifications of existing rules.  All participants are encouraged to read and review these updated rules.
• The schedule was discussed at length.  The loss of Spokane, Acton, and Medford made this an animated discussion.  Despite concerted efforts to get one or more events at Pacific, track management was unable to provide us with satisfactory dates.  So the decision was made to add an additional doubleheader to Mission.  The tentative schedule is posted here, pending final confirmation with all the host tracks.
• Chris Williams discussed future web site enhancements.  Those will include the addition of a FAQ page, a prominent link encouraging people to come race with us, some kind of advertisement or store for PNSCA logo wear, and a photo/video gallery.  In addition, improvements will be made to the printing and mobile device formats, and ease of race data entry.  Finally, sponsors will get more prominent mention in the sidebar, and a rotating position on the sponsor page.  All PNSCA racers and their families are encouraged to forward photos, videos, interesting personal stories (including non-racing stories) to Chris for posting on the website.
• Sponsors were the next discussion topic.  Steve Iverson worked hard to get a new title sponsor on board, but in the end was unsuccessful.  Ed Hauter has worked on additional potential major sponsors, but more time is needed.  Ed and Chuck Linne will pursue a renewal of Power Punch for our series title sponsor.  Chris Williams will be drafting a new sponsorship proposal packet and will post this on the web site for everyone to use when discussing potential PNSCA sponsorships.  The deadline for sponsor payments to be included on the T-Shirt was set at April 15th.
• Connie Schmoll discussed PNSCA finances.  We’re entering 2010 with a little less in the bank than last year, so additional revenues were discussed.  After much discussion, an annual membership fee of $20 was approved.  It is a one-time fee to be paid before (or at) the first race.  Race fees will stay the same at $60 for members, and were set at $70 for non-members (guests).  In addition, it was decided that the T-Shirt would be simplified, with a smaller logo on the front and the detailed information on the back.  It was decided that this simpler design will save money and most likely increase shirt sales.
• Finally, we discussed points and decided to stay with the same format: NHRA divisional points, plus one point for attending each race.

The meeting was adjourned at about 3:45.  Thanks again to Greg and Darla Pessemier for being such gracious hosts.

The PNSCA thanks Active Construction Inc. for their past support and as a returning sponsor for 2009!

for the 2009 race season. Bob is currently on the board of the PNSCA and is the Track Representative for Spokane County Raceway.  His crew chief, Connie Schmoll, is the PNSCA Treasurer and Secretary. Bob has been involved with drag racing for about 16 years when he hooked up with Mike Seekins. In 2004, Bob decided that he would try his hand at driving so he dove in head-first and raced every I-5 corridor race plus Boise. With eagerness, enthusiasm, and great training (not to mention his awesome crew chief!), Bob won the PNSCA championship in 2004. In 2005, Bob won his first Wally when he won Super Comp at the Division Six National Open in Seattle.

Bob Woodruff and Connie Schmoll

Bob wanted to go faster so he asked Dale Green at DG Machine to build him a 582. Dale ended up building him a 632 instead. Bob was definitely going fast now. In 2008, he won the PNSCA championship for a second time, finished 7th in the division, and is currently 2nd in the Jegs All-Star point’s standings.

Bob and Connie would like to thank everyone for their support of the association. They say that their best friendships have come from being involved in Super Comp racing and the association and they wouldn’t change a thing.

Having people like Bob & Connie involved with the PNSCA is part of what makes this organization great. Thank you Robert O. Woodruff Racing and Connie Schmoll for your support of the PNSCA as sponsors, board members, and very good racers.

Dan has been in the sandwich business for fourteen and a half years and has been drag racing for ten years with his Subway dragster. He has been a loyal PNSCA supporter for six years.

The PNSCA thanks Dan for his continued support and welcomes him back as a racer and a sponsor for the 2009 season.
