GERALD PATZER- Hall of Fame Candidate
by nitrolube on Aug.15, 2018, under Racing News, Uncategorized
THANK YOU NITROLUBE FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
Over the years I’ve been asked a number of times by a bunch of people if I could do a photo like this, and I never did before because not everything was in the same place to do it, and just how much work it would involve, and I definitely didn’t want it to appear boastful, yet facts are facts and it is what it is. 95% of everything seen was attained in a 10 year span from 2005-2015 with the car pictured, if this had happened in any other class it’d be a shoe in for Hall of Fame inductee nomination consideration, let’s hope the powers that be recognize the unequaled magnitude of accomplishments. I raced for a quarter of a century and every year that I raced prior to 2003 I’d always qualify for the Race of Champion at the Division Finals but could never attend because it was always 1000 to 1600 miles away, and I’d say if only I could get there, and all the other big races, I’d turn this division on its ear. Well maybe I did and maybe I didn’t, but every year I raced since 2003 I was able to attend all those big races that I couldn’t get to before, and sacrificed and gave up everything to do it. I accomplished things that have never been done before, and some that will never be done again.
2009 Division Champion.
7 time Track Champion (at 4 different tracks).
17 time National Open event winner.
4 time National Dragster Challenge event winner.
5 time National Open Series points Champion.
I’m the only person to ever win a National Open Championship with a front wheel drive car.
I am the only person to ever win both the U.S. and Canadian National Open series Championships in a single season, that will never be done again.
I remain undefeated in Prince George, B.C., and Yakima, WA.
I remain the B.C. Bracket series’ final Sportsman Champion ever.
I remain the Eagle Motorplex’s final sportsman Track Champion ever.
I remain the NHRA Nation Open Series final Sportsman Champion.
This is the winningest front wheel drive Pontiac there has ever been.
And perhaps even the winningest front wheel drive car of any kind on the Planet period.
And did it all out of pocket driving the car to and from every event, and on and on etc. Have a great day everyone and enjoy 🙂

Nitro Phoenix Damian Muscat
by nitrolube on Feb.10, 2017, under Racing News
While a much awaited race between nitro Harley pacesetters Mark Drew and Damian Muscat did not eventuate in Perth on the weekend, fans may yet get to see Australia’s two quickest v-twins clash at the Westernationals.
Muscat took night one honours as well as setting low ET for Top Fuel Motorcycle of 6.50 for the weekend. Day two did not work to the same plan.
“It wasn’t to be our day with our engine shutting down after startup in the semi finals,” Muscat said. “We had a fuel delivery problem and the bike shut down on the start line.
“Congratulations to Benny Stevens for taking the win and Mark Drew in runner up (on day two) as well as resetting the MPH record.”
The Nitro Phoenix team now have a rush on to get home and sort out the bike before making it back in time for the Westernationals on March 4 and 5.
Meanwhile Drew and the Perth Harley Davidson/Territory Power Sports team found some long awaited speed with a new national record of 232.84mph backed up by a 236.36mph blast.
“We managed to reset our national speed record, also making it faster than the world IHRA record of 228mph.
“For the Westernationals in a month we will be focused on breaking our national ET record of 6.34 seconds and trying to be the first person in Australia to run a 6.2 second pass on a nitro Harley.”

Extreme Sports Park NATIONALS
by nitrolube on Sep.18, 2016, under Racing News
1st Place at the Nationals…Congratulations..
first place in the Extreme Sports Park NATIONALS held September 10th in
Washington State. It was an exciting weekend of qualifiers on a tight course
and some crazy Speed Boat racing. Driver Gahr mentioned ” The very first
boat out on the course rolled upside down right at the finish line and were
under water for quite awhile. That was one of two boats that went under
water. It was very scary but safety crews got to them and everyone was okay
but that was just the start for a number of bad wrecks, that would happen
all day. It set an atmosphere that was very nerve racking and suspenseful
for everyone.
The TNT Livewire boat had issues with top end speed due to a Fan blade in
the water pump not performing well. Once that was fixed just before the last
race for the Nationals the Boat performed well and the NitroLube power made
the boat run just fantastic. Driver and Owner Paul Gahr Jr. drove an
extremely beautiful tactical race to capture the Title for 2016.
Congratulations to all the Team members.
