Cummings Earns Stock Eliminator Win at 10th Annual NHRA Las Vegas Nationals

The Cummings Motorsport team took an annual pilgrimage from their home in Hammond, Louisiana, to the Las Vegas for the 10th Annual NHRA Nationals. In the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Stock Eliminator final, Slate Cummings snatched the victory by a mere tire's width, or 0.0154 seconds.
Slate Cummings Stock Eliminator win at the 10th Annual NHRA Las Vegas Nationals was the K&N sponsored drivers third national event victory for 2010.
Slate Cummings Stock Eliminator win at the 10th Annual NHRA Las Vegas Nationals was the K&N sponsored drivers third national event victory for 2010.


"The Vegas event was a great win for a number of reasons," commented the K&N sponsored driver. "First off, the victory marked our third NHRA national event win of the season in our fifth final, which capped off a tremendous year! We came into this event as a national championship contender in both Stock and Super Stock, but we were out of national events to claim toward our year-end total. So, it was nice to be able to race without the pressure of the points chase, and at the same time, we felt like the win would give us some momentum to carry into the deciding event the next week.

The championships would be decided the following week at the divisional event at the same facility - The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

"We finished the season the following weekend at the LODRS (Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series) event in Las Vegas. The result wasn't what we'd hoped for, as we lost a heads-up battle in round two of Stock Eliminator, falling just short of the national championship."

"In retrospect, we had a fantastic season, regardless," added Cummings. "I finished second in NHRA national points in Stock, and ninth in Super Stock. Our team driver, Jody Simoneaux, won the Division 4 Stock Championship, and my father, Larry, won the IHRA Division 4 Super Stock title."

"We look forward to more of the same for 2011. Moser Engineering is back on board as our major sponsor once again, and we'll have new graphics for next season. We also thank K&N for their continuing support for Cummings Motorsports, a.k.a. The Bayou Boyz."

"We plan on running an ambitious schedule of NHRA events in pursuit of the Lucas Oil Championship," says Cummings. "Between my brother Britt, father Larry, Jody and myself, we will field six cars in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, and Top Dragster. We're looking forward to another great year in 2011."

Tracee Hiler's 2005 Nissan Altima SEMA Show Car With K&N Cold Air Intake System

The cars appointments are minimalist and flawless.
The cars appointments are minimalist and flawless.
Like a mysterious black night blanketing an azure sea of rolling silver tipped waves, mystified gazers were lured in for closer assessment. Seriously. The 2005 Nissan 2.5L Altima that Tracee Hiler created for the 2010 SEMA show was like poetry for your eyes.
Hiler's Nissan Altima has 22 inch Helos and with the fully adjustable suspension it's able to lay the cross member to the ground.

For those familiar with Hiler's vehicular exploits this latest creation comes as no surprise. While most toddlers are still trying to get the hang of their toddler-walkers, Hiler was already attempting routine maintenance on mom and pop's car.

"I have been into cars since before I could walk," said Hiler. "My parents told me the story that when I was about six months old, I was in my little walker with a wrench in my hand, and I was trying to put it on the lug-nuts of our car. It probably doesn't help when you have a father and grandfather that totally passionate about cars too - so it was completely expected that I would be as well.
The custom paint work is stunning from any angle.

Regarding the work done to the 2005 Nissan Altima SEMA show car Hiler says that it rides on a fully adjustable suspension (air-bags), the cross member is capable of laying on the ground, while the car rolls on four 22 inch Helos.

"I have full custom paint work done, rear suicide doors, full black leather and black suede interior, full custom audio/video system, which includes Fusion components and two 12 inch Subwoofers," adds Hiler.
The car garners attention wherever it parks.

"Also, there's an Alpine DVD/CD deck and a 10.5" monitor in the dash, cross drilled slotted and vented rotors, upper and lower billet grilles from TRex Grilles, and a full cold-air intake system from K&N Engineering."

Hiler says K&N has been the go-to choice for as far back as can be remembered. "Being into the car scene, K&N is everywhere, and that's because it's such a great product. I have had many K&N cold-air intakes on other vehicles over the years. I love the intake system on my Nissan, not only does it sound and look good, its added horsepower."

Over the years Hiler has managed to remain automotively well rounded by refusing to be limited by any one particular style.

"I can appreciate all sorts of cars from the hotrod scene, mini truck scene, import scene, and low-rider scene," explained Hiler. "I have friends that are into each one of those categories. I do have a full-time job that I enjoy, but aside from that, my major hobby is cars."

"I live in Arizona and I would have to say that it is a perfect state to live in for car shows, along with all other things that involve being outdoors. I would like to thank Steven Burkett with Show Cars Inc., if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have gotten in touch with the majority of my current sponsors, such as K&N, which in return made it possible for me to bring my car to SEMA. I had a blast and hope to go to many more in the future!"

Nick Nelson Wins the SCORE Baja 1000 Race With His Class 24 450cc ATV

SCORE Baja 1000 Race - Nick Nelson
SCORE Baja 1000 Race - Nick Nelson
The SCORE Baja 1000 race is probably the most well known race in the western world. This year, veteran racer Nick Nelson took first place on his class 24 450cc ATV. He raced with the MXN Nutrition Team of Brandon Brown, Jorie Williams, Mike Bender, Kenney Sanford, and Michael Kelley III. ATVs have been part of the Baja racing line up since 1986. A lot has changed on ATVs since then, but this year the thing that got Nick the win was K&N's ATV power lid.

"We won't race without at least 8 of them for the 1000" said Nick "it allows you to bury the quad in silt without damaging the motor or clogging the air filter at all."

Baja may be famous for its vehicles, teams, technologies, and drivers, but the race itself is well known by racers for dangerous conditions, both human and geographically. The race uses open highways and crosses the peninsula five times almost shore to shore. The 1000 features 17 pit stops. This product lets you change the box filter without shutting off the motor or removing the air filter. A huge plus in dusty conditions as other racers pass. Not to mention the time you could lose with a temperamental restart.

This was Nick's fourth point to point and tenth Baja 1000. Determined to make it one of the best and safest he came up with a plan to layout the logistics of the race and pre-running, using his whole team. "We decided that Brandon, Kenney and I would be pre-running the southern half with my wife driving chase. Michael Kelley and Jorie would handle OJOS to Bay of LA, and we would appoint Mike Bender to ride the Bay of LA to San Ignacio."

Nick has spent thousands of miles getting to know Baja with his friends. Just the pre running alone can be as challenging as the race itself. "The best part of finishing a great week of pre running in La Paz is finishing and the worst part is the 1000 miles of 2 lane highway back to Ensenada for the start. On the return trip the K&N Power Lid paid for itself once again "In Baja you can never let up no matter how big your lead or deficit is, because anything can and does happen down there." Despite having no first gear he was just a few minutes behind the next racer. Hammering through the terrain, it soon threw him into another dreaded silt filed river bed. With sand a fine as talcum powder and with nowhere to downshift too Nick was suddenly buried and stopped in the middle of the track. He kept the motor running, and 30 miles from the nearest town, got help lifting the ATV out of the silt from several locals camping to see the race. "Then I pulled the completely clogged K&N Filter lid off, beat it on the tire to clear it as much as possible, reinstalled it, and was off."

"I love coming down to Baja, everything slows down and gets simpler here around the race itself." It was an extremely close finish, but after times, pits, and penalties were added Nick the MXN Nutrition Team came away with the overall win for the ATV class.
