MOTORCYCLE LEGENDS MIGUEL AND YVON DUHAMEL ARE COMING TO THE CME
.jpg)
| (TORONTO, ON // DECEMBER 15, 2009) There is no question that Canada’s first family of motorcycle racing is the Duhamel clan, and two of its legendary members will make an appearance at the Canadian Motorsports Expo Jan. 22-24, 2010. |
| Yvon Duhamel, the patriarch of the family, and his son Miguel, will be at the International Centre in Mississauga, ON to meet racing fans, sign autographs and talk about their storied careers. A native of Montreal, Yvon Duhamel made his name as a versatile racer who tackled virtually every form of the sport, from motocross and ice racing to flat track and road race. He earned international acclaim, however, for his road racing exploits. Riding for the Deeley Yamaha team, Duhamel finished second in the Daytona 200 in 1968 and qualified on pole for the 1969 Daytona 200 with the first ever qualifying lap above 150 mph.

NOUVELLE DIRECTION @ CAPITAL CITY SPEEEDWAY
On peut lire depuis vendredi sur le site internet de Capital City Speedway que Arnie Malcom, promoteur et directeur général, depuis 2005 ne sera plus associé avec la piste. | Since Friday, you can read on Capital City Speedway’s website that Arnie Malcom, promoter and general manager, since 2005 will no longer be working for the track. |
Rappelons que Malcom s’était vu confier les opérations de la piste de la famille Drummond suite aux aléas du Mottodrome. Depuis deux ans les améliorations au site et au spectacle étaient gage de résultat, les foules plus importantes, la quantité de voiture grandissante – surtout les LMS et le spectacle relevé. | Let’s recap : he was given the keys to the facility by the Drummond group to turn things around after the Mottodrome episode. The last two years you could see the results of the turn around: better crowd, more cars on the track – especially Late Models and a much improved racing show on the track. |
Aucune annonce sur le ou les remplaçants de la famille Malcom. Pour ce qui est de Arnie Malcom, il m’informait dans un courriel qu’il est en réflexion. | No news on who will take over for the Malcom familly. As for Arnie Malcom in an email response to me said he was still evaluating opportunities. |

PERFORMANCE RACING INDUSTRY TRADE SHOW - Canadian too!
| Special collaboration by John Procida, PRI Media Contact |
| This year's PRI Show features more than 1,100 exhibitor booths, with an expected 35,000 to 40,000 buyers on hand for what is the world's largest racing trade show - and one of the world's 50 largest trade shows of any kind. While the number of booths is slightly down from a year ago due to the downturn in the economy, early trends show that actual buying is trending upward as people start to see a more positive future. Included among the 1,100 exhibitors are 21 from Canada, to go along with approximately 300 buyers who pre-registered for this year's show. Stewart McKay, of BC-based Deta Custom Tools: "We've been coming to the PRI Show for 21 to showcase our machining work. It's really a great event for both sales and schooling. Not a year goes by when we don't learn something new here to apply to what we do. If you're in the performance industry, PRI is the place to be." Guillame Couture, of Montreal-based CHAG Autosport: "Our heat cylinder (for bringing tires up to the desired temperatures) was developed in the UK and we're distributing here in North America. This is our first year as an exhibitor, but we've been to PRI as a buyer for the past four years. This is obviously, the biggest, most popular show in the world. Everyone that's important in our market is here, so we need to be here at PRI." Among the notable happenings this year includes a late-model stock car chassis being built from the ground up here by Leavitt Chassis, of Mooresville, North Carolina. The company began work as the show opened on Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. and is only being worked on during show hours (9 to 6 each day) and is expected to be completed by noon on Saturday to be raffled off to benefit the Victory Junction Gang charity. In addition to the activities going on inside the Show's walls was the always popular PRI/CKI All-Star Karting Classic on Thursday, which a star-studded line-up that included IndyCar racers Alex Tagliani, Ryan-Hunter Reay, Justin Wilson, Tomas Scheckter, as well as NASCAR stars A.J. Allmendinger, Jamie McMurray and Scott Speed, and F1 driver Tonio Liuzzi (Force India). Alex Tagliani, IndyCar: It's always fun to see the boys back in the racing paddock - guys like Justin Wilson, A.J. and Tomas Scheckter. It's great to catch up with them. Karting is where everybody started their racing career. It's a no-pressure type attitude in the paddock, so it's a lot different feeling. Everyone here's to see who's going to drive and who's going to do what, so in the beginning it's just a lot of fun, but once we get on the race track that all changes and everybody wants to win. I started karting when I was 10 years old and I've really never stopped. I'm still doing it today." In the end, it was former Champ Car driver Jan Heylen who earned the victory, followed by Speed and F1 pilot Liuzzi. The show continues through Saturday. |

WOLFE PREVIEWS 2010 AT PRI
| Orlando, Fla. — Brian Wolfe, director of Ford North America Motorsports, addressed a group at the Performance Racing Industry Show this morning in Orlando, Fla. Here’s a transcript of his remarks. |
| Thank you, and good morning everyone. Boy, a lot has happened in the past year, not just for Ford, but also for the entire auto industry. Looking forward, the outlook for the overall aftermarket industry is certainly better; but there is still a long and rough road ahead. Of course, today, we are here to share some news about what's happening in the world of Ford Racing, but before we get into that, it’s good to first understand where Ford is going as a car company. Over the last decade, people have come to know Ford as a great truck company that also makes that car called the Mustang. But we are re-shaping our global resources and updating our product line so in the future we are known as a great car company that also has the world’s best trucks. We’ve also updated the DNA of our products over the last couple years … we are producing world-class vehicles that handle and brake well, meet the highest standards for safety, are very fuel-efficient, and have quality levels second to none. And we see some signs that people are taking notice of the changes at Ford, as we have seen a gain in retail market share 13 times in the last 14 months. Last month, our all-new Taurus and Fusion sales were up 54 percent versus a year ago. And Fusion was just named Motor Trend Car of the Year. We just introduced Fiesta at the LA Auto Show last week … our first, One Ford global car. Fiesta will be in showrooms next summer, but there’s already buzz throughout the industry thanks to the Fiesta Movement program and our efforts with Fiesta at Pikes Peak and the X Games this past summer. I have to tell you this is a car born for the aftermarket industry. Our job at Ford Racing, is to create, produce and race products that make people more enthusiastic about Ford … to get people into our showrooms and to drive our great vehicles. Our philosophy is to be racer-friendly in all we do, whether we are dealing with the top levels of professional racing, or with the grassroots racer. I am so proud of how much the Ford Racing team has accomplished over the last year, and would like to give you an overview of the highlights of what we have in our display here at PRI. We decided to split our booth into four distinct areas: STREET AREA We also have our Z347 & 427 engines, as well as a ’34 Hot Rod powered by our new EcoBoost engine. EcoBoost technology is one of the keys to Ford’s future powertrain engine strategies, using direct-injection and turbocharging that allow smaller displacement engines to provide superior fuel economy, while providing the power of larger engines. We’re also returning to the value-priced segment of the crate engine market with the new X302 engine. This engine is designed, developed and tested by the same Ford Racing engineers that are responsible for the line for Ford Racing Crate Engines. • Built with a mix of Ford Racing, Ford production and high quality aftermarket components ROAD RACING AREA Some of you are also aware of Ford Racing’s plans to build 50 2011 Boss 302-R race cars, which we announced to dealers about a month ago for SCCA and NASA competition, along with a Grand-Am Koni spec version of that car that will replace the successful FR500C. Also, you’ll see our Formula Ford Kent block that we recently announced we would build again for competitors, featuring improved durability and design attributes that will support other applications like the Cosworth DBA and Lotus Twin-Cam. CIRCLE TRACK AREA The S374 Series represents an industry-first in circle track racing with an OEM engineered and developed sealed racing engine with two power levels—540 hp and 590 hp. These Sealed Racing Engines address the objective to manage the cost of Short Track asphalt and dirt racing with sealed spec engines while maintaining a high level of competition for racers and fans. Both engines were developed in conjunction with the key asphalt and dirt track stakeholders in short track racing and they will be in competition early in 2010. The S374 Series underscores the commitment by Ford Racing to the Sportsman Circle Track Racer and joins the highly successful S347 series of sealed racing engines. Both versions of the S374 engine are showcased here today: We’re also pleased to announce today that championship-contending Joey Pole Racing is switching to Ford power for the ACT Tour. • Joey Pole Polewarczyk Jr. is switching from a Chevrolet to Ford Fusion for 2010 and will use the S347JR Ford Racing Sealed engine in his run for the American Canadian Tour Championship. With these added engines we at Ford will have the widest lineup of Sealed Racing Engines for short track racing—our Blue Oval Sealed Racing Engines— that range from 350 to 590 HP. Finally, we want to show our commitment to Short Track Racing with an expanded racer contingency program for 2010 As part of the commitment, Ford Racing is proud to announce that it has posted race win contingencies with the following Racing Series for the 2010 racing season: DRAG RACING AREA We are so proud of all our Funny Car teams, with all six Mustang competitors making it to the top 10 in the countdown for the championship in 2009. We’ve also got big news for Pro Stock competitors. Earlier this year, we revealed our new 2010 Mustang body at the U.S. Nationals, and we were very pleased that Cunningham Racing won the Best Engineered award. The new 2010 Mustang body was designed by a team consisting of Don Ness and our Ford Racing aerodynamics experts, and went through extensive wind tunnel testing prior to NHRA approvals to ensure it was second to none in the field. The new Pro Stock Engine program, led by Mose Nowland, is also causing an enormous amount of excitement. The new engine is based on a common CGI block design that has a "flexible" core package that allows us to offer two cylinder head derivatives, one featuring a mirror-image port layout, and another featuring a sequential port layout. Both of those configurations are on display here at PRI. Ford Racing is also offering many of the components needed to complete a Pro Stock engine as well, including valve covers, camshaft spools, crankshaft seal retainers, stud kits, head gaskets, and cam drive. The new engine made its first test passes at the NHRA Auto Club Finals in Pomona by Cunningham Motorsports drivers Jim Cunningham and Erica Enders. The Cunningham effort is just one of the Ford Mustang teams we expect to see next year. • Larry Morgan’s Lucas Oil Mustang will debut at the 2010 Winternationals—his Mustang looks great and Larry has been an exciting addition to the Ford family. He will also run a second Mustang for John Nobile. On the Sportsman front, most of you probably have seen the new 2010 version of the CobraJet we introduced at SEMA. Well, we’re pleased to announce today that the NHRA has officially approved five engine combinations for the new car, which will be built starting in January at the Mustang plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. The engine offerings include: These engine combinations allow the Cobra Jet to compete in 52 different Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes. While the 2010 Cobra Jet was limited to only 50 units, we also offered Mustang Competition Kits for any racer who wanted to build one from the ground up. These kits were an industry-first, offering optional interior trim, exterior trim, seats, and even a pre-bent 10-point rollcage. These kits were available for pre-order only until November 15th and, despite a short order window, the kits were a huge success with nearly 40 kits being sold. Mustang Competition Kits will be delivered in February 2010, immediately following the Cobra Jet build. Based on demand, we plan to offer Mustang Competition Kits again in 2010, and with the MSRP of the Body-in-White being just $4,995 and of the combination of body, interior & exterior trim kits being just over $8,000, this is a value that is unmatched by our competition. In addition to our on-track efforts, we also have become the Official Vehicle of the NHRA, as well as official vehicle of the American Drag Racing League. We will also continue to support our relationship with PSCA, including the very popular Mustang Madness class, and we will return to IHRA in 2010 with new sportsmen contingency postings. And, of course, we will also continue to support MNRA and NMCA racing. All in all, there’s no question we have made a major commitment to our racing program, not just on the professional classes, but also the sportsman and grassroots ranks. We feel this involvement will pay off, not just with more competitors racing Fords, but also allowing these racers to become our grassroots ambassadors for Ford and its products throughout the country. While we have a lot at our booth, we hope you’ll also look at a couple other Ford vehicles on display here at the show. Tim Matherly’s Real Street Mustang and Cale Aronson’s IHRA Pro Stock Mustang are both in the outer lobby. Thank you. Source: Ford Racing |

2010 BRINGS FORD RACERS NEW EQUIPMENT, FANS A NEW TEAM
| Orlando, Fla. — The new Ford Pro Stock motor, a renewed commitment to circle track racing, and official approvals of the 2010 Cobra Jet engine combinations for NHRA competition were just a few of the things discussed as Ford Racing met with industry insiders at the annual Performance Racing Industry Show in Orlando, Fla., this week. |
| Ford Racing split its booth space into four distinct areas for the show this year, covering Street, Road Racing, Circle Track and Drag Racing. In the Street Area: • Ford Racing Fiesta, equipped with Steeda/Ford Racing power upgrades, Ford Racing handling packs, and Ford Racing wheels and brakes The Road Racing Area included: • Championship-winning, Rehagen Racing Mustang FR500 that won the Grand-Am Koni Championship this year with driver Ken Wilden In the Circle Track Area, Ford Racing introduced the S374 Series Sealed Racing Engine line, factory engineered and tested to take sealed engine racing to new levels of performance. The S374 Series represents an industry-first in circle track racing with an OEM engineered and developed sealed racing engine with two power levels—540 hp and 590 hp The Sealed Racing Engines address the objective to manage the cost of Short Track asphalt and dirt racing with sealed spec engines while maintaining a high level of competition for racers and fans. Both engines were developed in conjunction with the key asphalt and dirt track stakeholders in short track racing and both will be in competition early in 2010. Ford also announced that championship-contending Joey Pole Racing is switching to Ford power for the American Canadian Tour. Joey Pole Polewarczyk Jr., who won twice and finished fourth in 2009, is switching to a Ford Fusion for 2010, from a Chevrolet, and will use the S347JR Ford Racing Sealed engine in his run for the ACT Championship. Ford Racing also announced it will be offering the widest selection of Sealed Racing Engines for short track racing—Blue Oval Sealed Racing Engines—that range from 350 to 590 HP. The Blue Oval Sealed Racing Engines address the objective to manage the cost of Short Track asphalt and dirt racing with sealed spec engines while maintaining a high level of competition for racers and fans. What makes the Ford Racing sealed engines different from the competition is that these are designed, developed and tested from the start to be racing engines. Additionally, Ford Racing also expanded its short track racer contingency program for 2010, to include: • PASS—Pro All Star Series—North and South In the Drag Racing area, Ford Racing showed the new 2010 Mustang body designed by Don Ness and used by Cunningham Racing. Plus, it showed the new Ford Pro Stock engine, engineered by legendary Ford Racing engine guru Mose Nowland. The new engine is based around two cylinder head derivatives, one featuring a mirror-image port layout, and another featuring a sequential port layout. Both of those configurations were on display at PRI. Ford Racing also showed off many of the components needed to complete a Pro Stock engine as well, including valve covers, camshaft spools, crankshaft seal retainers, stud kits, head gaskets, and cam drive. On the Sportsman front, Ford Racing announced that the NHRA has officially approved five engine combinations for the 2010 CobraJet, which will be built starting in January at the Mustang plant in Flat Rock, Mich. • There will be an all-aluminum, 500hp 5.4L DOHC supercharged for Super Stock only These engine combinations allow the Cobra Jet to be competitive in 52 different Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes. |
