four NMRA Ford Nationals Drag Racing Series events,
two Northeast Iron Time Trial Series events, and three
Northeast Pro-Street Shootout Series events. Scoring
points and placing in all three series made it a successful

2008 NWR Race Recap another successful
development year has come to a positive close. Our
drag racing program went through the most
suspension and engine development this year. This
resulted in improved reaction times, lower 60 ft times
and lower ET's including a 11.62 @120.8 record run.
NWR competed in three NMRA events and a first
time appearance in the NMCA. Improvements in our
qualifying with a .006 rt earned us a record fourth
place spot at Atco. A first round win over the OC
points champion was promising but three red light
elimination round reaction times kept us out of victory
lane. Something we will work out for '09. After a year
of rebuilding, the SCCA 20 program will be back in
'09 with a new engine package.

NWR using RAMS Race Engines for 2009
in order to increase engine performance and
reliability NWR has recruited the help of RAMS race
engines based in Blandon, PA. The first engine was
built to SCCA American Sedan specs for the #20
Time Trial Mustang. After parking the #20 for the
entire 2008 season, the new Ford 306 engine is
installed and ready to go. The second engine was
built for the #9464 NMRA/NMCA OC Drag Mustang.
The new Ford 347 was assembled, balanced and
bluprinted to handle 500 plus horsepower. The #9464
will be ready for testing in April of this year.

Rain Rain Go Away... 2009 was undoubtedly
the season of never ending rain. The weather kept us
out of the NMRA Ford Nationals as well as all Street
Battle events at Maple Grove Raceway.
The new RAMS drag race engine in the #9464 OC
Mustang performed very well in testing, breaking
several NWR records, including: Best 60 ft. 1.599
sec. Best 1/4 mile ET 11.287 sec. Best 1/4 mile
MPH 127.5 mph.
The highlight of the 2009 season was a 1st place in
class at the Duryea Hillclimb in Reading, PA. The
#20 SCCA American Sedan Mustang charged up
the 2.3 mile, 13 turn course in 137 .5 secs.
