During Southern All-stars Dirt Racing Series (SAS) qualifying, Ray laid down the second quickest lap.
Brasstown, NC driver Ray Cook began his career in motorsports racing 4-cylinder cars in pony classes, moved up to super late models following the Hav-a-Tampa series and pretty soon realized he'd like to make a career out of the sport of racing. "Like so many others, I started out racing as a hobby, and over time made a career of it," states Cook. "Laying groundwork for the future, I then decided to form my own series so that one day when I pass the torch to other racers, I can still actively participate in the sport."
Ray is on the gas more than ever with 68 races under his belt for the 2011 season, and promotion for 27 more.
For now though, Ray is on the gas more than ever with 68 races under his belt for the 2011 season, and promotion for 27 more. He racked up eight wins, numerous 2nd places and his Dirt Late Model Series the Schaffer Oil Southern Nationals was a huge success.
His eighth feature win of the 2011 campaign in his season finale was on November 19 at the historic Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, Tennessee. During Southern All-stars Dirt Racing Series (SAS) qualifying, Ray laid down the second quickest lap, which put him on the outside of the front row for the 50-lap "Gobbler." The popular driver known as the "Tarheel Tiger" grabbed the top spot at the drop of the green flag and held the point for the entire distance. At the end of fifty circuits, Ray found himself crossing underneath the checkers ahead of Jonathan Davenport, Dale McDowell, Brian Reese, and Shane Clanton to pocket the $5,000 winner's purse.
Hoping to start the 2012 season the same way he ended it in 2011, he and the D&R Motorsports team are heading to the Ice Bowl at the Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama for the Jan 7-8 kick off of the year. Best of luck guys, and keep those wins coming. As a K&N partner for more than 15 years, we love hearing all of your success stories.
Paul Brown of the Tiger Racing World Challenge team grew up in his father's repair shop, was around cars constantly, and never thought of doing anything other than working with them. According to his Mom, he was taking things apart and putting them back together as a toddler and simply never stopped.
Paul started out doing autocross or gymkhana events with his street cars and the local SCCA, moved on to open track events with various clubs, then got his race license and got really serious. "As I got older and worked on the Saleen program right out of high school, I worked with Steve Saleen, Rick Titus, Scott Pruett, Parnelli Jones, George Folmer and Pete Halsmer to name a few in the exclusive league," stated Brown. "They all had an influence on me one way or another and I soaked up as much information as I could. Sometimes it didn't make much sense until a decade or so later when I could actually apply what was being taught or fit the scenario. I've even had the pleasure to race against many of them years later in either modern pro racing or vintage racing which is always fun."

"The real thing I found with all of them is that it doesn't come easy. Every one of them had to eat, live, and breathe the sport to make it where they are today, or at the height of their careers. I think it's actually tougher to stand out now than back 20-40 years ago. So many modern cars have driving aids that help you be a better driver whether it's anti-lock brakes, traction control, or data acquisition, to just having better quality parts like shocks and tires. It's a much different game today. You also have all the driving/race schools and clubs that are around now; it's really a full time business and the separation between a good driver and a great driver is actually closer than it's ever been."

To date, Paul holds more than a dozen track records, and numerous championships in SCCA Pro Racing, NASA American Iron Series and Monterey Historics. He has been a factory test driver for Aero Racing USA, a tier 4 test driver for Ford Motor Company, and has even been called in to drive K&N's G35 Time Attack car.
"I actually started out selling K&N products over 15 years ago," said Brown. "When I relocated to the west coast I got to know some of the staff and guys in the race shop from being at the track and race events. This eventually led into the sponsorship of the Porsche GT3 car we raced in World Challenge back in 2008. K&N has been a big part of our program for many years now and the products are top notch."
Paul Brown has now become a mentor as well. He takes the experience he's gained on the track and uses it to help other drivers. From coaching trackside, to managing one of the largest and most successful race shops and retail outlets in the Midwest, to now building a reputation for himself on the West Coast, he does everything from modifying street rods to building complete racing chassis. Paul's mechanical knowledge of the cars he drives, his innate car control skills and his focus and dedication to the sport, all combine to make him a fearsome and noteworthy competitor.
AEV's V8 conversion kit comes with everything necessary to make the conversion seem like it was from the factory.
American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) simply specializes in Jeep Wrangler aftermarket parts. For the last 15 years, or so, they have been manufacturing products mainly for off-roading. You may recognize some of their work displayed on the factory built limited edition Call of Duty Jeep Wrangler. David Harriton from AEV claims this is, "quite an accomplishment for an aftermarket company." It is definitely a huge accomplishment to be recognized alongside one of the most popular video games in the world.
The guys at AEV managed to squeeze a 392ci HEMI V8 and manual transmission into this JK.
Their most recent innovation was displayed on a yellow 2012 Jeep Wrangler at SEMA 2011. If you happened to see the Jeep JK in the AEV booth you may have noticed the quite large HEMI sitting in the engine compartment. It wasn't just for show. It is actually one of their V8 conversion kits for the 2012 Wrangler. This is quite impressive considering that they stuffed a 392ci motor and a manual transmission inside the compact Wrangler platform that actually functions. The kit comes with everything necessary to make the conversion seem like it came that way from the factory.
AEV specializes in Jeep aftermarket parts and their work has been displayed on the limited edition Call of Duty Jeep Wrangler.
The AEV V8 conversion kits include a K&N high flow air filter. It simply bolts onto the factory intake pipe. The K&N air filter helps the massive V8 engine breathe easier and offers protection for the most extreme off road conditions. We asked David what he thought of K&N products and he said, "We supply K&N air filters on all of our HEMI kits because of the quality and name recognition." K&N has been around for over 40 years and to this day still manufactures a high quality product made in the USA.
The AEV Wrangler also came equipped with other AEV items such as:
-AEV front and rear bumper
-AEV skid plates and splash guards
-AEV Pintler Wheels
-Interco Super Swampers
-AEV leather seating
AEV plans to launch the 2010 HEMI kit this year sometime as well as release more off-road products for Jeep Wranglers. For more information about AEV by sure to go to their website at www.aev-conversions.com.
For Menzies Motorsports, the biggest race of their 2011 season boiled down to their first ever SCORE Baja 1000.
After entering the 2011 TORC season as a rookie, Bryce Menzies concluded his championship run in Pro-2 by winning his seventh race of the year. But, he wasn't done yet- everything for the Menzies Motorsports team boiled down to one last race, and what may have been the biggest race of their 2011 season - their first ever SCORE Baja 1000.
According to those in attendance the 44th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 is one of the toughest Baja 1000's to date, yet that didn't slow down Menzies and co-driver Peter Mortensen. Over 4 hours into the race the sun started to set on what would be the roughest part of the 700-mile course. The San Felipe loop ended the night for a lot of the racers, but the calm Menzies guided his truck through the dark terrain with Baja Designs lighting the way.
The 44th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 is arguably one of the toughest Baja 1000 to date.
Menzies and Pete continued with their game plan, setting a steady pace and making certain to hit every line they mapped out during pre-running. Making it out of San Felipe with no errors put the No. 70 truck in the lead and now it was time to head back towards Ensenada.
Bryce knew he needed to continue driving how he had been the last 460 miles if he was to have any chance of a possible win and to claim the 2011 Championship, but in Baja, you never know what lies ahead and you are never in the clear until you reach the finish. Continuing with the lead, it was at mile 470 when Bryce felt something wasn't right with the truck. The decision was made to stop and check the driveline. With nothing visibly wrong they got back to the race, but the problem was still there. Calling ahead to their pits to let them know something was wrong and to prepare for anything, it wasn't long before the truck pulled into the pit at race mile 474, and they figured out it was just a loose wheel. With the problem fixed quickly, it still wasn't fast enough to hold off the 2nd and 3rd place trucks.
Menzies had to surrender the lead at race mile 474, having to pit for what turned out to be only a loose wheel.
Bryce got back on the course following in the dust of the top two drivers, thinking at this point that only something like a flat tire on their end would allow Menzies to regain the lead. A quick driver's change at race mile 540 which had Menzies trade driving duties with short course teammate Ricky Johnson went flawlessly, and the Red Bull truck was on the final stretch back to the finish.
The slowest part of the race awaited Ricky, as he took the truck through the cold air coming off of the pacific and into the tight, twisting, silt and rock filled hills of Uruapan. Flawless driving on Ricky's end saw the truck through the dark night terrain as he continued to stay within minutes of the two leaders.
At 3:27am Saturday morning the No. 70 Menzies/Red Bull Trophy Truck crossed the finish line in first place.
Returning into Ensenada through the dark and ghost town like washes, the Kroyer-powered No. 70 Menzies/Red Bull Trophy Truck made its way back to the heart of town, and came around the last turn to see the checkered flag and team members awaiting its arrival. With no Rob MacCachren in sight, Bryce, Pete, Ricky and the team celebrated as they realized they had just won their first ever SCORE Championship in their rookie year!
At 3:27am Saturday morning the truck crossed the finish line and completed the 2011 Baja 1000, and along with finishing the biggest and longest race of the year, the truck and team completed every race mile that was thrown at them this season.
The year's racing has now officially wrapped up for the Menzies Motorsports Team, and they walked away with three championships overall. Now the team will focus their attention to what the upcoming 2012 racing season will bring.
