Jarod Wenrick, driver of the Wenrick Motorsports Procharged 68 Camaro takes a runner up finish at the NSCA World Finals at National Trail Raceway to clinch the points championship. Wenrick came into the weekend with a slim lead over New York’s Vinny Demeri however, with a strong 6.45 #1 qualifying effort by the team they just needed to stay one round ahead of Demeri. Demeri’s early exit in the first round sealed the deal and a spectacular rookie season in Pro Street for Wenrick Motorsports.

Wenrick said “It would have been great for the NSCA and the fans to see us meet Vinny in the finals to decide the championship however, it made the day just a lot of fun knowing the championship chase was over and we could relax and race.” The team had a very solid weekend qualifying with a 6.45 and running a 43, 44, and 45 in eliminations before shaking the tires in the final. Jarod would like to give a special thanks to his wife Mari, crew Lance Huff and Chris Raulston and sponsors Procharger, The Supercharger Store, MFI, VP Fuels, and Value Added Packaging. Wenrick Motorsport is going to get busy preparing the car for the trip to Orlando next month for the World Street Nationals.

Columbus, Ohio - Last fall at the National Street Car Association World Finals, Jarod Wenrick was just starting to make some real progress with his nitrous combination when he learned that the Top Sportsman eliminator had been cut from the 2007 roster. Not a problem. Wenrick was already contemplating a move up the ladder to the very competitive Dart Pro Street eliminator and nitrous was to be a thing of the past.

The Tipp City, OH resident envisioned a very simple 565-cube big block Chevrolet topped with as-cast Profiler heads with a big ProCharger F3R centrifugal supercharger providing copious amounts of boost. An Alan Dudley MFI fuel injection system with a total of twenty four 160lb injectors would provide enough methanol for some serious horsepower production and a Rossler TH210 transmission was chosen to transfer the power to the tires instead of the norm for Pro Street Lenco. The Rossler TH210 transmission is a Rossler exclusive three speed tranny based off the venerable TH400 and merits a significant weight break in Dart Pro Street.

This new drivetrain was installed into Wenrick's beautiful black Tim McAmis '68 Camaro and completed with a new graphics adorned cowl induction hood

to present a very slippery package. The ride made its debut at the season opening Precision Turbo NSCA Nationals at Columbus, OH with a traction limited 6.486 at a les
s than optimal 184.47-mph best in qualifying, good enough for the #2 slot on the ladder. Some tweaking by Alan Dudley himself netted a remarkable but still traction limited 4.15 to the 1/8th packaged with a 6.489 at a much improved 216.76-mph during Sunday's eliminations. Wenrick eventually turned on the red light against Demieri in the semi-finals. The 4.15 is one of the quickest 1/8th mile passes ever recorded by a centrifugal supercharged or even turbocharged vehicle in competition!

Dart Pro Street vehicles are the fastest and quickest vehicles in the NSCA series with 6-second passes at over 200 MPH. This eliminator is designed for both stock appearing and Outlaw-style bodied door slammers. Entries are permitted small block and big block engines that are naturally aspirated, supercharged, nitrous oxide injected, or turbocharged. Both gasoline and alcohol as permitted.

The next event on the 2007 NSCA Drag Racing Series Schedule is the NSCA New Jersey Drags at Atco Raceway in Atco, New Jersey on May 19-20. For more information about the series, visit their website at www.nsca-racing.net.
