June 26, 2009 PLEASE NOTE: I have moved to Victoria as the result of a personal issue. I'm fine, thank you to those concerned. It will take a good while yet for my living situation to sort out, but I am working on getting an address, phone number, reliable web access etc. ASAP.

HH is not dead, just in limbo. My apologies to all visitors and advertisers. All I can say right now as to the future of this site is that it will most likely change but not go away. I have a number of ideas, some very exciting, that will see HH move in a new direction, but again, this is all down the road. For now updates will be few as I go one-day-at-a-time.

The phone number I have been at previously is no longer in operation.
For now please use e-mail ONLY if you need to contact me. I will reply as soon as I can. I also do not have fast web access so those of you who send photos, videos, jokes etc. PLEASE either don't send them unless you really have to or make them as small as possible. Thank you! -Larry

Happy Canada Day!

Third Generation of Mageau Family racing ready to hit the track in a full size dragster. www.girltroulberacing.ca

Despite our current situation, when stuff like this happens HH supports those who have supported us. The entire Evans racing team is a group of folks who have done more for me than I can remember, so when I got a phone call from Rich Carlson Saturday afternoon right from the scene of George Evans accident, I knew it was serious. Thanks goodness George walked away. Here's the story.

Lucas Oil dragster destroyed, George Evans walks away
John and Darlene Evans are sad to announce the total loss of their LUCAS OIL sponsored dragster in a spectacular top end accident at Bremerton Washington June 27. Driver George Evans had just completed a 180 mph pass when the car barrel rolled to its destruction. George suffered no serious injuries besides major bruising and will be very stiff and sore for a while. “The quality of the NHRA certified chassis saw me through this” George stated after being extricated from the drivers cage by the track safety team.

The unique low-slung 2-year-old Illingsworth chassis had provided 2 Wally’s for TEAM EVANS over its short life finishing 2nd in 2008’s National Open Series. . “It was a unique car with a very distinct sound and the fans and we will miss it but my brother George’s survival is what is important.” John went on to say that “Team Evans will continue to meet their commitments to their sponsors and fans for the reminder of the season competing with the #1 car driven by himself and will appear next at Mission Raceways National Open July 25/26.

In George's own words
Well where to start,

First of all, I really want to thank my brother John and his wife Darlene for allowing me the privilege of driving there two cars over the last five years. Contrary to popular belief, the Evans Racing family is not wealthy. Instead they are dedicated drag racers who when they say they are going to do something they do it to the best of their ability at all times.

Moreover, so far with very rewarding results for John, anyone and myself who has won a Wally in one of their racecars. For this, we should all be very thankful, I know I am!!!

Of course, this goes for our dedicated crew Rick Zimoch, Glen Worden, and Michael Moore.

I am also very proud of my daughters Madison and Sadie for their support of my racing endeavors. Like when I am at Ashcroft, they are an hour away in Kamloops in a dance recital, and I cannot make it to the event. They are always in support of me. However, most importantly their strength and support after viewing my recent crash at Bremerton on the weekend. Not a tear was shed by either of them as they have always believed what I said about the level of driver safety that goes into all aspect of the race cars and the sport of NHRA drag racing. Thank you girls daddy loves ya!!!

Just as important was the immediate response by the rescue crew and mark and the people from NHRA. All bull asid,e while I was just about done sliding the last few feet, I could here Stevie Wong bellowing over the speakers for everyone to stay put as the rescue crew were on their way. Literally seconds later they were there, along with Mark Lyle along with the rest of the starting line crew. Thanks guys, you were awesome.

A special thank you goes out to a really good friend and supporter of all northwest drag racers, Dave Barcelone who was at the crash scene at the same time as the rescue crew. And as always in his very sincere fashion he offers and I quote " George what ever you need, and I mean what ever! Just see me." A real great friend!! He and Martin our Division 6 Chaplin must have checked in on me at least five time since the crash. Thank you for your concern and all other well-wishers.

A great thank you to our good friend Rich Carlson for initiating a donation drive from the racers and fans at Bremerton. Thank you all!!

Now for the guys that make it happen, chassis builder Rod Illingworth from little known Cache Creek B.C. for a car that did all it was supposed to. Thanks Rod, sorry I made a mess of you piece of art.

My brother John and crew Rick and Glen for all the research that went into updating my chassis to advanced ET. And our neighbour dale for his welding. This update saved my melon I am sure!! Thank guys!!!!

As always we will be back!!!!!!!! See ya all in Mission

I will not be at the Mission Pro Mod race this coming weekend.

Cowie takes Spokane TAD, Webster wins Funny Car, Comp to Doug Lambeck, Lang & Kielman go back-to-back in SS & Stock.

SPOKANE, Wash. (June 14, 2009) – Eliminations are complete and the winners have been crowned at the inaugural NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event hosted at the newly renovated Spokane County Raceway. This wraps up the third of seven events in Northwest division competition in which racers are in search of divisional and national championships. Local winners walking away with the coveted Wally trophy included Mike Strickland, Moses Lake, Wash., in Top Sportsman and Sportsman Motorcycle racer Buff Kobs of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Strickland drove his beautiful '07 GT500 to the finish line at 7.161 seconds, 195.70 mph to defeat Todd Fricke of Pasco, Wash., to pick up his 1st NHRA Wally. Kobs made a quick trip over the state line and drove his '95 Kawasaki right into the winner’s circle by defeating top qualifier Danny Lee Patridge of Kennewick, Wash., in the finals.

It is not uncommon in the sport of drag racing to see a father-son duo competing at the same event. The unique part of this occurrence was the Roseburg, Ore., residents were rookies and Jim Pappas grabbed the win light in Top Dragster and Tom Pappas was victorious in Super Comp.

The Top Alcohol Dragster title went to No.1 qualifier Shawn Cowie of Delta, B.C., who picked up his fourth divisional win of the year. Cowie posted a lap of 5.495 seconds at 264.29 mph against the defending Northwest divisional champ, Joey Severance from Spanaway, Wash. Ken Webster out of Red Deer, Alb., also the weekend’s No.1 qualifier, picked up his 1st NHRA Wally by defeating the Pacific division’s Ron August on a red light in the Top Alcohol Funny Car final.

Other Spokane County Raceway event winners included Comp Eliminator ace Doug Lambeck of Corona Del Mar, Calif.; Jody Lang, Puyallup, Wash., picks up back to back divisional wins in Super Stock; and Greg Kielman from Vancouver, Wash., goes back to back in Stock. The Super Gas win went to Jerry Earp of Edmonds, Wash.; Jay Fulcher, Yakima, Wash., grabbed the light Super Street; and the Super Pro contest went to Dwaine Ringguth from Grande Prairie, AB.

NHRA Qualifying Complete at Spokane County Raceway

SPOKANE, Wash. (June 13, 2009) – Pairings are set for Sunday’s eliminations at Spokane County Raceway. With qualifying complete, Top Alcohol Dragster pilot Shawn Cowie of Delta, B.C., and Top Alcohol Funny Car driver Ken Webster from Red Deer, Alb., grabbed the No.1 spots at the inaugural Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event. Over 3,000 eager drag racing fanatics made their way to the renovated track to enjoy side by side racing at over 265 mph.

Cowie posted a 5.465-second, 265.22 mph pass in qualifying to place him just ahead of Joey Severance from Spanaway, Wash. Cowie is piecing together a dominating year by winning out-of-division races in Phoenix and Las Vegas to go along with his victory at Mission Raceway Park last month. Because of the odd number of cars in competition, he will have a bye run in the first round of eliminations Sunday.

Webster will be looking for his first win of the season going into Sunday, qualified at the top spot. His run of 5.741 seconds at 252.05 mph catapulted him to the top of the field and in front of current divisional points leader Brian Hough of Junction City, Ore.

After two days of intense qualifying, there were no changes to these following No.1 spots from Friday’s top competitors. Rob Harrison, N. Vancouver, B.C., remained at the top of the Comp Eliminator class alongside Super Stocker Byron Setters of Red Deer, Alb., and Bill Edgeworth of Tacoma, Wash., in Stock. Barry Daniluk of Red Deer, Alb., held the No.1 spot in the division's Auto Max USA Top Sportsman class with the Top Dragster category being led by Steve Cook of Rexburg, Idaho. The Sportsman Motorcycle Series presented by Harley Davidson pole stayed with Danny Lee Patridge from Kennewick, Wash.

Drag Racing is alive for 2009 in Calgary
CALGARY DRAG RACING ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES
Established in 1982 to provide Calgary and Area Drag Racers an Association dedicated to promoting safe and organized racing in a controlled environment off the streets. In late 2008, The Calgary Drag Race Association was informed by Race City’s management, that Race City would not be organizing a formal schedule for Drag Racing for the 2009 season. We had a choice between racing at other venues, and organizing our own series of events here in Calgary. We are determined not to deprive the racers and fans of Calgary, Drag racing in 2009. The CDRA executive made an agreement in principle with Art McKenzie at Race City Inc to present the 2009 Drag Race season showcased by the 23rd Annual Fathers Day Classic. CDRA is a strong community and family oriented organization, which supports several charities. Each race weekend will support a charity to raise funds for that organization. 

The Calgary Drag Racing Association will need the support of drag racers, volunteers and spectators to make this season enjoyable, entertaining and competitive for each and everyone that loves the sport of drag racing.

The C.D.R.A. Executive is pleased to announce that Ken and Dianne Thompson have come on board to assist the CDRA for the 2009 drag racing season. Ken and Dianne have extensive knowledge on drag racing operations with their past experience at Race City Motor Sport Park, as well as Budweiser (Castrol) Raceway. The drag racing community would like to invite everyone back and we look forward to working with all of you in 2009.

The Calgary Drag Racing Association will introduce new Drag Race Classes for 2009 in an effort to keep times and speeds closer together.
