 DeFrank set for memorable milestone year
(2-3-2012) THOUSAND OAKS, CA – Fifteen years ago, a youthful Jimmy DeFrank took the podium at the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series awards ceremony for the first time.

The past decade and a half hasn't seen much change for the Southern California native in terms of general disposition off the racetrack, and when it comes to his demeanor as a driver, he has certainly kept up a winning pace.
Before earning his first world title, DeFrank was the 1996 Super Stock champion in NHRA's Pacific Division, and to date he has accumulated three Super Stock national championships and a remarkable nine division titles – the most recent of which was earned l... [Read More]

 Maggio Motorsports plans for an even bigger '12 PSCA season

 The legend of Sean Misfud's "Wild Willy"
(1-30-2012) SYLVANIA WATERS, NSW – Cast away into a corner with the used bits and pieces of long ago power…
The baddest '41 Willys to grace the southern hemisphere and one of the BADDEST '41 Willys in the whole wide world now sits in a corner of a factory up on his pro jacks with bits and pieces being scavenged for this and that or to be loaned to a fellow racer to help them try to be what he once was.
The record for the quickest roots doorslammer in Australia was held for years by this intimidating race car, but now he sits forlornly wondering what is in store for him next. His win at the last 16 car field of Top Doorslammers is now but a memory.
Is his fate to be covered up with a car cover and forgotte... [Read More]

 Goforth on the mend
(1-27-2012) HOLDENVILLE, OK – Dean Goforth had a health scare recently, and while he has made great improvements, he still has a battle to get back to 100%. "I have been overwhelmed by the phone calls, the emails, the cards, and the outpouring of well wishes, people I know, people I have never met, race fans, it's really amazing," said Dean.
"I know that we have a lot of friends that we race with, and a lot of fans that follow us, but the amount of well wishes is just astounding.

 First test of season gets five-time champ Coughlin back up to speed
(1-26-2012) DELAWARE, OH – hard to imagine a drag racer with five world championships and a whopping 67 national event victories being anything but comfortable in a racecar, yet 41-year-old Jeg Coughlin Jr. admitted to being a little edgy at the start of the test session at Palm Beach International Raceway.
"I had a nervous couple of days leading into this deal," Coughlin said. "There was so much going on in my head. I told Dad (Hall of Famer Jeg Coughlin Sr.) that I must have had a million questions I needed answered before we got started. Fortunately everything went great. That number probably went down to four after the first pass."
Although Coughlin successfully raced a variety of Sportsma... [Read More]
