About Maryland International
Raceway - MIR is a legendary drag racing facility located in Budds
Creek, Maryland and has been operated by the Miller family since
1989. Over the years, the Miller’s have made continuous
improvements to their beloved facility, making it the premiere
drag strip that it is today. MIR’s elevation is only 80’
and that’s why so many national records are set at this
track. In 2007 during the NSA race at MIR, Paul Austin set a new
track record and National Pro Stock 1000cc record with an 8.354-second
pass during eliminations. Austin followed up his record setting
run with an incredible 8.213-second pass in the next round! We’ve
seen some awesome racing at MIR and several of the NSA sleds have
made their best passes there. All of the racers are looking forward
to a return visit in 2008. For more info on MIR, visit their website

About NSA
– The National Speed Association was formed in 2005 by a
bunch of grass roots snowmobile racers looking to create a Professional
platform to race some of the fastest naturally aspirated 1000cc
sleds in the world. Today the NSA asphalt series races at premiere
IHRA and NHRA tracks across the country in a competitive points
series. Through hard work and perseverance the series has created
lasting relationships with several amazing corporate sponsors
to form an excellent purse for each event. To add to the excitement,
all races are run heads up with a .400 Pro Tree creating awesome
side-by-side drag racing for the spectators and fans. For more

CANAM
Ice Series
has
been in the works for a while and now its a reality. Mike, Joe
and Stan have put together a series of 4 races over 2 weekends
which starts in Welwynn Sk and ends in Minot ND. Lots of sweat
and negotiation have gone into this and looks like lots of interest.
The
races are sanctioned by the SSRA and will be held in Welwynn on
Feb 2nd and 3rd and in Minot on Feb 23rd and 24th. I will attend
both these races if all things permit. Hope to see lots of Icers
out and attempt to steal the glory.

I know this
has little to do with Racing, but my nephew is on this team and
for the 3rd year in a row, they are the leaders in this competition.
The University of Saskatchewan, ALL , can be proud of their accomplishments.
The competition was harder and rules even more so, but the dedication
and perserverance gave them the win. They came out just short
of winning the cash, but are still the leaders in this new technology.

WOW!!!
SNOWMOBILE SWIMSUIT CALENDAR WOW!!!
Janesville, Minn., September 1, 2007 - Double X-treme Snowmobile


|
Calendars
answered the question thatsnowmobile enthusiasts have been asking
for years. Why is there a swimsuit calendar for motorcycles, atv’s,
hot rods, etc. but not for snowmobiles? Snowmobilers your wait
is over and WOW, what a calendar!!! Double X-treme Snowmobile
Calendars just released their debut 2008 Snowmobile Swimsuit Calendar.
The 2008 calendar features high end, customized snowmobiles that
will excite all brand loyal sledders and complemented these machines
with top swimsuit models from throughout the United States. The
Double X-treme combination of the hottest women on the hottest
sleds comes alive in the 2008 Double X-treme Snowmobile Swimsuit
Calendar.
We wanted to feature snowmobiles that are one of kind machines.
The customized snowmobiles featured in the 2008 calendar are just
that. The snowmobile owners put a great deal of time and money
into their sleds to maximize performance and to ensure they have
the hottest sled on the mountain or the trail. Most snowmobilers
want to enhance the snowmobiles they are riding but don’t
go to the X-treme that these sleds did. The snowmobiles that are
featured in the calendar are some of the most tricked out, high
end, customized sleds on the planet and are a true thrill to get
behind the throttle.
The swimsuit models that are featured in the calendar are equally
as top shelf as the snowmobiles they are paired with. The combination
of professional swimsuit models and the girls next door are featured
in the 2008 snowmobile swimsuit calendar. You may recognize the
swimsuit models from various glamour magazines, TV shows, and
advertisements. These snowmobile beauties will definitely get
your attention and will raise the horsepower of your favorite
snowmobile.
Double X-treme Snowmobile Calendars Inc. produce “The Premiere
Snowmobile Swimsuit Calendar, “The Making Of” Snowmobile
Swimsuit Calendar DVD, Posters that are “Too Hot for the
Calendar”, and Sticker Decals that will complement any snowmobile.
Our products are available at www.snowmobilecalendars.com
and make the ultimate wall decoration for the snowmobile enthusiasts
shop, garage, or office. The 2008 Double X-treme Snowmobile Calendar
makes the perfect Christmas Gift that snowmobile enthusiasts will
be able to enjoy year round.

2007
NSA Champion crowned at the Camoplast Asphalt Challenge
in Epping, NH
Congratulations to Jeff Cullen (Gray, ME) on clinching
the 2007 NSA Championship points series on the Abbott’s
Power Equipment Polaris IQ. Cullen qualified 3rd for the fifth
straight time this season during the Camoplast Asphalt Challenge
in Epping, NH. Mother Nature was not kind to us that day as a
heavy thunderstorm came through in the late afternoon and intermittent
showers continued throughout the evening, which forced the track
to eventually cancel all competition classes.
The A2Z Racing
Team of Ed Armstrong, Bob Girrior and Dan Zering also sealed up
the 2nd place Championship points spot after qualifying on Saturday.
The Yamaha team from Massachusetts struggled during the second
half of the season but after coming out early in the year with
a win, they set themselves apart from the pack and clinched the
2nd place spot in 2007. We all wanted to see a battle between
Armstrong and Cullen for the Championship Title, but the inclement
weather prevented that from happening this day.
Cullen will
be wearing a new set of custom racing leathers from Vanson®
Leathers next season. For over 30 years, Vanson® has been
producing the highest quality track tested apparel and safety
garments available and we'd like to thank them for supporting
the NSA Pro Stock asphalt sled program for the 3rd straight season.
Kenny Burlew
(Thiells, NY) ran a career-best 8.497 elapsed time on the Chuckaroo
Motorsports Skidoo at Epping qualifying 2nd just behind Steve
Stanley (Gray, ME) on the Paul Austin Motorsports Skidoo. Gary
Schweikert (Slatington, PA) also ran a career-best
8.598 ET on Saturday at New England Dragway putting him in the
4th spot.
Now in its
third year of operation, the National Speed Association continues
to enjoy strong fan popularity and for 2007 presented some of
the best Pro Stock asphalt sled racing in North America. NSA traveled
to several drag strips in 2007, including NYIRP
near Buffalo, NY, Toronto Motorsports Park in Ontario, Canada,
Pittsburgh Raceway Park in Pittsburgh, PA, the legendary Maryland
Int’l Raceway at Budds Creek, and the season-closer at New
England Dragway.
The NSA Pro
Stock sled tour has been a great success with several different
winners amongst the Ontario, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania teams. Cullen is now added to the
list of great Champions from the last 3 seasons -
Jeremy Hannen (Durand, MI) in 2006 and Jason Dunigan (Jackson,
MI) in 2005. Who will it be next year?
 |
The last
NSA points race will be held
on September 8, 2007 during the Camoplast Asphalt Challenge
at New England Dragway in Epping, NH. This has been an exciting
and competitive season for the NSA Pro Stock sleds, which included
new National records and career-best elapsed times.
The NSA Championship points chase has come down to the final
race with all 4 major snowmobile manufacturers represented in
the top four! Leading the points at present is Jeff Cullen of
Gray, Maine on the Abbotts Power Equipment Polaris IQ with 398
points. Second with 369 points is Ed Armstrong of Holyoke, Mass
on the A2Z Racing Yamaha V-max 4 and third is Paul Austin of
Jackson, Michigan with 343 points on the Paul Austin Motor Sports
/ Dunigan Racing Skidoo. Austin is followed closely by Jeremy
Hannen of Durand, Michigan on the San Marino Racing Firecat
and Jay Pearl of Newport, Maine on the Bangor Motor Sports Arctic
Cat. Cullen, Armstrong and Austin have all won NSA events this
year which helped them leap forward to the front 3 spots. For
the full NSA points listings, go to www.nationalspeedassociation.com
The Camoplast Asphalt Challenge featuring the NSA Pro Stock
sleds will take place Saturday, September 8 at New England Dragway
in Epping, NH. For information about New England Dragway, call
(603) 879-6000 or visit online at www.newenglanddragway.com
Now in its third year of operation, the National Speed Association

NSA traveled to several drag strips in 2007, including NYIRP
near Buffalo, NY, Toronto Motorsports Park in Ontario, Canada,

Int’l Raceway at Budds Creek, and the upcoming season-closer
at New England Dragway.
The NSA Pro Stock sled tour has been a great success with several
different winners over the last 3 seasons. Jeremy Hannen won
the points championship in 2006 and Jason Dunigan was crowned
champion in 2005 over the other Ontario, Massachusetts, Michigan,
New York, and Pennsylvania teams. Who will it be this year?

NSA in Maryland
Jeff Cullen (Gray,
ME) took over the points lead with his win at Budds Creek on the
Abbotts Power Equipment 2007 Polaris IQ. There were 15 very fast
sleds at last weekend's NSA Pro Stock asphalt sled race at Maryland
Int'l Raceway in Budds Creek, MD. Eight sleds were running 8.4-8.5
seconds and four other sleds were running 8.6-8.7 seconds in the
1/4 mile.
Paul Austin (Jackson, MI) was the runner up of the event and set
a new Pro Stock 1000cc National Record on his '05 Skidoo CK3.
Austin ran an awesome 8.353 et in the first round of eliminations
and then backed it up with a 8.213-second pass during the 2nd
round of eliminations! Cullen beat out the quicker, but loosing
Austin in the final with his better reaction time.
The next NSA points race is the Camoplast Challenge at New England
Dragway in Epping, NH on September 8, 2007. This will be an awesome
finale to the NSA Championship points series as Cullen, Austin
and Armstrong battle it out for the NSA Title and the $2500 event
purse!
Thanks,
Kristin Stanley
NSA in
Pittsburg
The NSA race results
from Pittsburgh Raceway Park, New Alexandria, PA Winner - Paul
Austin, Jackson, MI R/U - Jeremy Hannen, Durand, MI
Race highlight - Paul Austin ran the quickest ET in asphalt
history in eliminations with an amazing 8.355 ET
He was not quite able to back it up to set a new National Record,
but it was an incredible sight to see!
His time slip was definitely something for the record books!
RT .177, 60' 1.12, 660' 5.18, 1320' 8.35
This was round 3 of the NSA Championship Points Series. The
points chase is very close and with 2 races left, the 2007 championship
will come down to the last race!
Thanks,
Kristin Stanley
NSA
in Toronto
Jeff Cullen wins the Cudney Racing NSA event in Ontario!
Jeff Cullen (Gray, ME) won the 2nd NSA Pro Stock
points event of the season last weekend at Toronto Motorsports
Park in Cayuga, Ontario. Cullen qualified 3rd on the Abbott’s
Power Equipment Polaris and faced several tough competitors
throughout the day. In the final round, Cullen met Ed Armstrong
(Holyoke, MA) who qualified 4th on the A2Z Racing Yamaha and
had run a career best 8.44 ET during round 1 of eliminations.
Cullen was victorious in this crazy final where Armstrong fouled
a plug and Cullen broke a belt! With a little luck and a better
reaction time, Cullen managed to stay out front and get the
win.
Paul Austin set a new Pro Stock 1000cc national
MPH record of 155.10mph during qualifying on Saturday and backed
it up with several 154+mph passes throughout the day. Austin
also earned $250 from King Motorsports for being the first NSA
Pro Stock sled in the 8.40’s this season with an awesome
8.429 elapsed time.
Special thanks to Cudney Racing for sponsoring
the Cayuga event www.cudneyracing.com

NSA in New
York
Ed Armstrong (Holyoke,
MA) took the win on Saturday from the #2 qualifying spot at the
first NSA Pro Stock asphalt points race of the season. Jason Dunigan
gave Armstrong a run in the final with his better reaction time,
but Armstrong’s sled was quicker, earning him the win. Kristin
Stanley and Jeff Cullen rounded out the top half of the ladder
with each of them earning the semi-final finish and prize money.
Even with the massive
threat of rain, 17 Pro Stock sleds made the trip to New York for
the first race of the 2007 NSA Tour last weekend. It was extremely
hot and humid on Saturday with temps in the mid 90’s, but
some impressive numbers were displayed from all the teams in spite
of the overwhelming heat.
The next NSA Pro Stock
sled event, presented by Cudney Racing, will be held on Saturday,
June 16th at Toronto Motorsports Park, Cayuga, Ontario as part
of the KC Auto Family Day Thunder Fest. For more information,

From
Stan
Racing at Belcourt
was great, entries were low in the 600, 700 and 800 open mod classes
so jumped up to the 1000 class just to make a few passes with
the big guys after traveling so far, Ian ran 2nd in the first
heat in the 1000 open mod class and 3rd in the 2nd heat, and was
ahead in the final at ¾ track when the antifreeze gods
got in the wiring, but hey that’s racing. Also noted everywhere
you go racing, everyone is willing to give advice and help a fellow
racer. Thanks to Mark and Mike from Minot for the brake kleen.
Also like to thank Bruce for all the info before heading down
to the drags.

Ian in Prep |
Handed out a lot of
posters for the drags at Welwyn while in Minot and Belcourt ,
sounds like a lot of our friends to the south are coming, should
be a great day.
Hope to see everyone out.
Thanks Stan & Ian

Condolences
to The Krueger Family
As most of
you may already know, Tracy and his son Alex were lost last Friday
night in a senseless act of violence. Tracy's wife Hilary is still
in Intensive Care at North Memorial Hospital, but in speaking
with Tony tonight her condition has improved considerably since
yesterday. We pray for her speedy recovery.
At the request of Tony, Wendy, Theron and the rest of the Krueger
Family We will be holding the event as scheduled this weekend,
as it is what Tracy would have wanted us to do. Tracy spent many
hours along with Travis Boesch setting up the classes, writing
the rules and solicitating prize money for this event. There are
two 4' traveling trophies that will be awarded to the champion
in each 440 Liquid Mod Stock and 440 Free Air classes. Along with
$200 added to each of those classes. There is a additional $600
to be spead out in several of the other classes along with 100%
payback. The track on Saturday the 10th will 500' long and on
Sunday the 11th will go to 660' for the regular MSDRS event. Both
Saturday and Sunday the racing is scheduled to begin at noon,
any classes not completed on Saturday will be run first on Sunday
before the regular MSDRS race begins. Both days should hold some
great racing action. This event coinsides with the Waseca Sleigh
and Cutter Festival.
On Friday night the 9th there will be a benifit dance for the
Krueger family at the VFW in Waseca. A fund has been set up for
those that would like to make contribution, when I have the complete
information I will post it on the MSDRS
website.
MSDRS will be donating all proceeds from this weekends event to
the fund being set up for the Krueger Family. If you have anyting
that you would like to dontate that could be used as prizes or
raffle items please feel free to contact me.
Thank You

Carbon
Fiber

Carbon fiber
is all the rage. This new technology is not that new,
but it is new to the consumer.
Nextech has made the leap into developing carbon fiber sled parts.
They have
produced a 9 inch wheel, which is the right size for the drag
racing sled.
They manufacture an assortment of sizes for most sleds.
Nextech also manufactures A frame arms for some sleds as well.
It seems to me, that this product line up, may be for the sled
looking
to tweek a few ounces.
These stats were taken
right off the Nextech Site
carbon / epoxy has
a density of 1.26 g/cc (0.0455 lb/in 3 ).
T6061-T6 aluminum has a density
of 2.7g/cc (0.0975 lb/in 3 )
titanium alloy has a density of 4.7g/cc (0.17 lb/in 3 ) and
crmo has a density of 7.85g/cc( 0.284lb/in 3 )

New
Look
Every Year Or So,
I like to change things up a little. When the server went down,
I got a good look at what was in the site. Lots of old crap and
well over 1200 pages. A clean up was in order. Soooo....
while I was cleaning up, I thought it's time for a New Look. Thus
you have Rebelsled.com version 5.
