Up Next the 50th Annual Winternationals With preparations nearly complete on the Sierra Pipe Racing 38' Chevy, I have time to head down to
Pomona for the 50th Annual Winternationals. This will be a short trip just for the Friday and Saturday portion of the
event. This will give me the opportunity to watch final eliminations from the comfort of my couch. Haven't had
a chance to spend much time with my old Alcohol Funny Car friends over the past couple of years and it will be great to catch
up on what has been happening. I am sure I can find a way to get my hands dirty at some point. I should be able
to get some behind the scenes photos and stories from both the sportsman and professional teams. The following week,
we hope to test......weather permitting.
A Final Look Back at 2009
Written on the white board inside
of our trailer, is an old drag racing proverb. "You are Only as Good as Your Last Run" History will
not label our performances at the final AA/Supercharged event and the California Hot Rod Reunion as dominate, but when the
smoke cleared, the result was a victory in both cases. With a number of changes planned entering the 2010 season, we
are looking to take advantage of all of the available power and once again put some dominate performances in the record book.
The car preparation is nearly complete and it is time to turn our attention to critical support equipment maintenance, to
ensure that we don't have to work on something like a generator or air compressor as apposed to the race car, when it is time
to hit the track again.
A Quick Look Back at Mission
2009 As we enter the middle of winter, it is a good
time to look back at the mid-summer classic in Mission Canada. Here are a few photos to warm everyone. If you
wish, click on the photo to enlarge them.

Preseason Preperation Continues for
Sierra Pipe Racing As the 2010 March Meet begins to
come into view, preparation continues on the 38' Chevy. As far as we know, the Hot Rod Heritage Series rules package
has yet to be defined, but we do know that any proposed changes will not affect our current combination. Following my
trip to the 50th Winternationals, the current plan will be to test the following weekend. At this point in time, we
are not waiting for critical component delivery and weather permitting, it will be all systems go for testing on February
20th.
New Venue Added to the 2010 AA/Supercharged Season

A new event was just added to the 2010 AA/Supercharged season. On June 5th and 6th
AA/Supercharged teams will venture to Firebird Raceway in Boise Idaho, to headline the 30th annual Snap-on Oldies But Goodies
Drags presented by Project Filter. This addition is great news and speaks volumes to the AA/Supercharged association.
The new and exciting event promises to bring another full field of blown alcohol gassers to a new market. Stay tuned
as the 2010 season begins to come into focus.
