Bluebaugh Goes to the Finals in Bakersfield, Qualifies Number One
June 2008

http://www.worldsfastestorganization.com

http://www.team-ppi.com

Bluebaugh Racing’s Team AutoTrader scrambled to make it to the West Coast Hot Rod Associations (WCHRA) Holders Nationals at the Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield June 7-8, 2008 on last minute notice. Bluebaugh received a call late Sunday the week prior from Tom Nelson of Team Performance Products, Inc. requesting attendance for the event and all remaining events for the WCHRA season. A decision was made to load up the AutoTrader Monte Carlo and head for Bakersfield after some negotiations with Nelson who sponsored the team last year.

Crew Chief Deborah Woodard, said this is very exciting for us as we have run some of our fastest passes in Bakersfield, which is primarily home for the WCHRA. It proved to be great weekend. We qualified the AutoTrader Monte Carlo in the number one position with the first pass off the trailer. Bluebaugh ran short of the finish line with a 6.55 @ 212.46 mph on a soft tune up, which held good through the qualifying day. Woodard said, we have been working hard to maintain consistency with getting this car down the track. Being able to get it right on the first run just really indicates that we are headed in the right direction.

In round one, the team faced Dan Myers in his Blown Alcohol Chevy Truck. Myers snuck into the WCHRA event late after winning the West Coast Pro Mod event in Sacramento the night before looking for quick cash on his way home. Bluebaugh and Team AutoTrader were not about to let him have his way. Bluebaugh took Meyers off the line and never looked back running a smooth and consistent 6.54 @ 216.91 to Myers 7.963 @ 142.72 mph.

In the final round, Bluebaugh faced Tim Henry in his Con-quest Concrete sponsored Firebird. It was a battle of Nitrous cars for the win on a very hot 140 degree track. Both lanes appeared equal as Woodard contemplated which lane might prove best for the AutoTrader Monte Carlo. Henry, who is fairly new on the scene proved razor sharp off the line putting a hole shot on Bluebaugh ultimately costing Team AutoTrader the win. Both cars struggled with the hot track on the big end. Bluebaugh said, I was right there, the tires would hook and then spin causing the back end of the AutoTrader Monte Carlo to sashay just a bit. Henry commented that he too got slightly out of the groove and had a struggle to pull his Conquest-Concrete Firebird straight. It was neck and neck in the finish with Henry taking the win by a very narrow .0266 with a 6.598 at 213.87 mph to Bluebaugh’s quicker but losing 6.590 @ 216.76 mph.

One of Those Days for Bluebaugh at the California Nationals
May 2008

Bluebaugh Racing’s Team AutoTrader headed for the Pacific Street Cars Associations (PSCA) California Nationals this past weekend May 16-18, 2008 at the California Speedway with high hopes. Crew Chief, Deborah Woodard said, after winning the Las Vegas Nationals we finally have consistent runs and solid data. The Team was looking forward to stepping up the AutoTrader Monte Carlo and having a productive weekend. Instead the weekend turned into a thrash on the car and fist full of problems. Fortunately good friends and sponsors came to the rescue.

Bluebaugh said you know its going to be one of those weekends’s when the transmission in the truck burns up with a fully loaded trailer 300 miles from home before the race has even started. The team managed to limp into the California Speedway to start a day of test and tune with little sleep. During testing a rocker stud on the exhaust pulled out of the head creating an internal nitrous explosion in the AutoTrader Monte Carlo. Woodard said, when the exhaust valve won’t open the nitrous has to go somewhere. We got lucky in that no cylinders were damaged.

Bluebaugh and Woodard worked late into Friday night with the help of Toy Factory Racing to try and repair the head to no avail. On Saturday, Woodard found David Beckley, through fellow racer Randy Haggerty. Woodard said, I was really worried because once you start trying to weld on these heads, the aluminum goes soft and nothing will hold. Trying to combat a rocker stud problem on short notice is a worst case scenario. Beckley applied a most creative solution permanently repairing the head with no welding. Unfortunately, Bluebaugh missed qualifying the AutoTrader Monte Carlo completely placing the team dead last on the ladder and facing first round with no clutch data. Everyone in the Prostreet field had some difficultly making it down the hot track with an unusual heat wave in effect at the California Speedway.

In round one of eliminations, Bluebaugh and Team AutoTrader ran the Dodge Viper of Bob Griffith and Eric Lenore who qualified number one with 6.614 @ 215.58. Bluebaugh turned a precision 6.599 @ 215.77 running perfectly down center of the track giving Griffith and the fans a real show of competitive heart after thrashing all weekend to get the AutoTrader Monte Carlo fixed. Griffith showed no mercy putting on a great side by side spectacular drag race beating Bluebaugh by a mere .0083 seconds with a 6.596 @ 213.98 and low ET of the round. Bluebaugh and Woodard agreed that with just one qualifying pass the outcome would likely have been much different.

Woodard said, while it was a disappointing end to a long weekend, the end results were actually good. Our old truck was on borrowed time with the transmission. Tony Kane of Hughes Performance is graciously sponsoring all new heavy duty Hughes parts to repair the truck. We are grateful to Hughes Performance for their support of our race team and the sponsorship provided in times of need. Kane also towed our race trailer some 300 miles back to Phoenix. Fellow racer Jeremy Hangar took the truck to his shop near the raceway and will provide labor for the repair at a racers discount. We are also grateful to get the head repaired and to Andy at Toy Factory Racing who gave his evening to help. Bluebaugh said if it were not for good friends and sponsors, we would be stranded in California with a broken truck and broken race car.

Bluebaugh Racing’s Team AutoTrader Wins with Precision in Vegas
April 2008

Kelly Bluebaugh and Team AutoTrader win Prostreet with flawless precision at the Pacific Street Car Associations (PSCA) Las Vegas Nationals at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, April 25-27, 2008. Crew Chief Deborah Woodard said we came to this race with getting back to basics in mind. Simply getting the AutoTrader Monte Carlo to run consistently is just what we needed, exactly what we accomplished, and it paid off. The car has plenty of power to compete and we can step up any time needed and go faster, but repetition is the golden key to success. Bluebaugh and Team Auto Trader qualified 4^th of a record 18 competitors with a 6.602 @ 212.73 mph backed by a 6.605 @ 214.52 and continued to average a string of easy 6.60’s through out elimination rounds.

In the final round, Bluebaugh and the AutoTrader team met up with the number one qualifier and new PSCA bad boy John Mihovetz in his turbo powered Accufab Cougar. Mihovetz definitely had the E.T. advantage going into this round said Woodard, but our car had been rock solid consistent. We had a choice; throw some power at the car or make a consistent run showing no mercy for slip ups to Mihovetz. This day precision consistence won the race with the grace of a seasoned pro.

Prostreet was the last class to run the final round and the track was lined with spectators and competitors alike to watch the AutoTrader Monte Carlo battle against the Accufab Cougar. Mihovetz jumped out taking a slight advantage off the line with a better reaction time and quicker 60 foot, but the race was over by the 330. Mihovetz was out of the groove and had to pedal the car for a mere fraction of a second as Bluebaugh’s no mercy strategy hit the jack pot. Screams rang out as Bluebaugh drove the AutoTrader Monte Carlo perfectly down center track upsetting the Accufab Cougar with a winning 6.608 @ 214.72 mph to Mihovetz’s 6.760 @ 217.63.

Bluebaugh said, I kept waiting for the Cougar to come around me, but it never happened. I got to the end and realized we had done it, we had won the race. Woodard said, it was really our weekend, everything went right as if winning was just in our cards. We caught the tune up right away, despite the fact that Las Vegas offered up some of the trickiest air for tuning a nitrous motor we have ever seen. High head winds also made for less than favorable driving conditions. In round one and three, Bluebaugh took easy wins by red light defaults to Rod Pierce in his 63 Corvette and later to Clint Hairston in his Turbo powered GTO, whom both got caught trying to cut a light to get around the quicker Team AutoTrader. Despite tension at the line, Bluebaugh held study running his own race. In round two, the team ran Dan Vogt in his 63 Corvette winning with a 6.585 @ 214.25 to 6.905 @ 214.55. In the Semi’s, the team caught a bye to the final and the rest is history.

Wild Ride for Bluebaugh in Fontana
March 2008

Bluebaugh Racing’s Team AutoTrader attended the Pacific Street Car Association’s (PSCA) Orme Brothers Spring Break Shootout this past weekend March 14-16, 2008 in Fontana. During the first round of eliminations, Bluebaugh was lined up against the 1955 Chevy of Monte Berney. The lights came down and the race was on with only a thousands difference in reaction times. The AutoTrader Monte Carlo had a slight advantage on the 55 Chevy as the two cars ran door to door down the track. Nearing the top end and climbing up to the usual 200 plus mph run, the driver’s window blew out of Bluebaugh’s AutoTrader Monte Carlo. The impact of the blow out measured a hefty lateral 1.50 side impact G-Force on the car according to the computer reading. Bluebaugh fish tailed some twelve times violently on the top end of the track as the crew and spectators held their breath anticipating what might happen next. Crew Chief Deborah Woodard said it was as if time froze in slow motion as the car appeared to be further and further out of control. I know he was in trouble but I did not know why until later when track officials handed me pieces of the broken window. In what was an amazing feet of driving, Bluebaugh managed to keep the car in his lane and bring it to a safe stop at the end of the track. Bluebaugh said he did not realize the window was gone until he went to get out of the car. He said, it just felt like I was fighting the car as if it were stuck in a one track grove. The on board computer estimated that Bluebaugh pedaled the car after the half track and lifted approximately 5 seconds into the run cruising through the finish line with a 6.782 @ 176.95 mph to Berney’s winning 6.599 @ 214.48 mph.

The weekend started out with high promise for the AutoTrader Monte Carlo. During Friday’s test, Bluebaugh ran the car to a 4.226 @ 180.19 mph to the eighth and clicked it off. It seemed that the team had put previous clutch problems to rest and the tune up on the motor looked strong as the car coasted through the finish with a 6.973 @147.75 mph. The weekend soon became plagued with gremlins. An oil line vibrated loose during the burnout in the first round of qualifying preventing the team from making a pass. The weather created havoc and by round two of qualifying moderate winds had dusted the track. Despite best efforts of the track prep crew few Prostreet competitors made it down the track, Bluebaugh included, and some opted to forgo the round.

Fans can tune into www.speedsceneracing.com weekly every Tuesday for cool racing news and catch the latest from Bluebaugh and Team AutoTrader on a monthly basis.

Bluebaugh Racing’s Team AutoTrader Starts Season in Fontana
March 2008

Kelly Bluebaugh and Crew Chief Deborah Woodard of the World’s Fastest Organization are set for the season open with their Pro Street AutoTrader Monte Carlo. Bluebaugh Racing’s Team AutoTrader will head for the Pacific Street Car Associations (PSCA) Spring Break Shootout March 14-16, 2008 at the California Speedway in Fontana, California. This is a tardy start for West Coast PSCA racers as the beginning of the season was delayed by rain in late January. Bluebaugh is back in the driver’s seat for 2008 giving over his previous position as a crew chief to Woodard. The competition in the PSCA is expected to be fierce this year with a number of teams stepping up their program. Last season the PSCA saw the first of Pro Street cars dipping into the 6.30’s and more average times in the 6.40 ET range than in previous years.

The Auto Trader Monte Carlo is a relatively new car for us said Bluebaugh and we are all excited to see what the season will bring. The team spent last season upgrading and preparing the Monte Carlo for the 2008 season, while concurrently running the Team Transit Mix WFO Cavalier. The car not scheduled to run until 2008 started active competition late in 2007 for the purpose of attracting sponsorship finishing with a 6.47 ET and a best speed of 220 mph. Woodard said the data we collected last season will definitely give us a better starting position this year. We have run this power combination to a best of 6.33 @ 221 mph in the Cavalier and hope that we can repeat the success we have had over the last two seasons of championships. The AutoTrader Monte Carlo is an RJ ProMod design, which is just a little different than the Larry Larson IHRA Prostock design of the Cavalier. We have been able to work through a number of problems typical to adapting a new car with an old power combination. As a final touch for 2008, Bluebaugh changed the original rear wing over the winter break, which is expected to help add stability on the top end for the AutoTrader Monte Carlo.

Both Bluebaugh and Woodard can hardly wait to get back to the race track though the winter break has been busy with promotions for sponsorship. Woodard said, we have the best sponsor marketing program we have ever had going into 2008. The team receives and abundance of marketable media support from AutoTrader Publishing and Speed Scene Racing’s Web Based television. We are joined this year by Mickey Thompson Tires as a member of Team Mickey Thompson. Woodard said the Monte Carlo is working very well with the Mickey Thompson drag slicks. Loperspeed.com has recently joined Bluebaugh racing in efforts to market their new online parts store. Bluebaugh has been friends with the Loper family for many years who have been in the performance parts business. Loper’s is set to as well open a performance parts shop in Auckland, New Zealand. W.W. Williams is in process of joining Bluebaugh Racing. W.W. Williams offers expert repair for large diesel trucks amongst other services nationally. Woodard will be putting out press releases soon to formally welcome each new marketing partner. Fans can catch our latest interview on www.speedsceneracing.com found on the 02/26/2008 archive. Team AutoTrader will also appear on the Speed Channels new show called Pass Time. Bluebaugh Racing would like to thank Magna Fuel, SI Valves, Cubic Flow Modifications, Charles Carpenter Racing, and Hughes Performance for continuing support over the years. Bluebaugh Racing is supported by the World’s Fastest Organization, LLC along with WFO Racing and Machine.

Bluebaugh Racing Negotiates for Sponsorship with Auto Trader Publishing

November 2007

Marketing Director for Bluebaugh Racing, Deborah Woodard of the Worlds Fastest Organization LLC, met with Desert Regional Representatives Ken Fincel and Jay Summers from Auto Trader Publishing to propose a marketing partnership sponsorship agreement for the 2008 racing season in late August. Fincel and Summers reviewed the recent accomplishments of Bluebaugh Racing and the marketing partnership proposal on the table slated to cover at least ten West Coast events and possibly some East Coast Events in the 2008 racing season. Fincel stated, “This will be the first time AutoTrader Publishing has worked with a full time professional racing team on this level”. Fincel and Summers also expressed a potential interest in the Bluebaugh Racing Prostreet Monte Carlo becoming the premier Auto Trader Publishing car. Many possibilities were discussed to include both on and off track events, and a marketing network that would offer increased benefit to the marketing partners of the Worlds Fastest Organization, LLC through involvement with Auto Trader Publishing. Woodard said, “AutoTrader Publishing is a natural fit for us being a reputable member of our community for as long as I can remember. It is simply the best way to buy and sell great cars. We have been looking for a marketing partner with both local and national appeal”. Following the meeting, a decision was made to submit the proposal to the corporate office and a response is expected to come some time in mid-January. As negotiations continue, staff from AutoTrader Publishing have visited two West Coast races with Bluebaugh Racing providing spectators and fellow racers with free copies of Auto Trader Magazines.

In anticipation of a possible marketing relationship in 2008, Fincel and Summers have offered Bluebaugh Racing an exclusive full page of advertising space on the back cover of Auto Trader’s Custom, Antique and Sports Car Trader in the Desert Region. The advertising space will be used by Bluebaugh Racing as a promotional team race page to attract sponsorship for the race team and new business for Auto Trader Publishing for the remainder of 2007. The first publication is set for release in Nevada the week before and during the Street Car Super Nationals III, which will be held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway November 1-4, 2007. Auto Trader Publishing will be in Las Vegas with Bluebaugh Racing and for the first time the Bluebaugh Racing Prostreet Monte Carlo will proudly carry the Auto Trader Publishing name for the racing event. The first group of participating sponsors in the marketing network will include Speed Scene Live, Hughes Performance, SI Valves, and Magna Fuel. Two spots have already been booked with Speed Scene Live, which will air October 30^th and November 6^th2007 to hi-light Woodard’s marketing program for Bluebaugh Racing with Auto Trader Publishing and participating sponsors.

AutoTrader Publishing is a subsidiary of Cox Auto Trader, one of the world's leading providers of online and print automotive consumer information, and is the leading producer of classified automotive advertising publications with a total circulation of over 2 million per week. The World’s Fastest Organization, LLC is a marketing entity with interest in Bluebaugh Racing.
