Tony Wimer and the Wimer Racing Nostalgia drag racing team have completed their 2011 racing season on a high note. The team competes in two nostalgia drag racing series - the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Drag Racing Series and the ANRA nostalgia drag racing series.

In the NHRA series, we had a few mechanical gremlins early in season. Despite the setback, Tony drove with a mission the rest of the season and with his skill and a little luck, we posted a solid second place in the NHRA championship points standings. Even better, we closed the season with a win at the NHRA Nostalgia Fall Championship held on October 16th at Famoso Speedway. A NHRA Heritage Series win means Tony has added another Wally trophy to the case!

In the ANRA series, we did not score any wins, but with a runner-up and semi-final finish, the team moved up in the championship points standings and ended the season in second place.

We are looking forward to a strong 2012 racing season!

We went to Las Vegas for the NHRA race and the following weekend to Bakersfield for the ANRA race. We lost in the semi finals at Las Vegas. The good news is that the two guys ahead of us in points both lost in the first or second round. We went into the race 26 points (3 rounds) behind first place. We came out of the race only ten points behind first - that is only one round! We have a real shot at the championship. We do not know if there are one or two races left in the season. The Fontana race was cancelled due to continuing noise issues. We do not know if the race is cancelled or if it will be rescheduled for another track. We will be headed to Sacramento in mid-July for the next race.

As for the ANRA race. We qualified next to last due to some tune up issues. But we got our act together in eliminations and made it all the way to the final round. Unfortunately we came out on the losing end of a double break-out! Tony carried us most of the day.

Drag Racer magazine has decided to feature our car and team in an upcoming issue. They had a photographer at the track taking a lot of pictures. It should be out later this year.
