AA/Supercharged Association Meeting Updates for 2012
On January 21st, AA/Supercharged teams gathered at the Silver Legacy Resort in Reno Nevada. Howard Anderson was recognized for winning his fourth championship in 2011. The teams also voted to include 57' body styles for 2012. Now teams with those shoebox 55' and 57' race cars can now race under the AA/Supercharged banner. This was the only change to the rules package. Now it is time to prepare the cars and get ready for a new race season.

AA/Supercharged Returns to Champion Raceway for 2012
A few members of the AA/Supercharged Association willl be making passes as part of the "Night of Fire" event at Champion Raceway on July 6th and 7th. This event is not part of the 2012 championship season schedule, but it will be good to hear the sound of AA/Supercharged horsepower fill the air in Southern Oregon. More details to come.
2012 AA/Supercharged Season Preview
Updated 5-15-12
This weekend will mark the opening of the 2012 AA/Supercharged season. The championship will be contested in 5 rounds, with 3 of them occurring at Woodburn Dragstrip just south of Portland Oregon. This limited schedule will leave the championship wide open and one false step by any of the contenders could make it difficult to recover. Here is what I know about the teams going into 2012:
Howard Anderson - The team plans to return with small updates to the 2011 championship combination with hopes to build on the track record set at the final event last year.
Scott White - The White Family ran the big numbers in 2011. If this performance continues in 2012, they will be hard to beat. I do not know of any major changes, but with the numbers they ran last year no changes are needed.
Troy Owen - The Legend car has made the statement that they will contend for the title in 2012. With a number of runs in the 6.7 second range and potential to move into 6.60's, they have a driver and a team that can take the championship.
Mike Molea - The 2009 champion had difficulty in 2011. Mike has both the equipment, skills and the team to put himself right in the middle of the championship fight this year. It will just be a matter of sorting out a few issues that plagued him last year.
Joel Matton - This will be the wild card for this year. Joel has the ability to get the most out of the equipment he has and this year the team made a major upgrade to the power plant . If the team can hit on a good combination, anything is possible.
Mitch Chamberlin - The 2007 champ has the equipment, team and driving skills to move right to the top, but the Les Davenport power and converter combination has yet to show the potential it is capable of. Last weekend Chuck Moore ran a 6.46 with a similar combination in Sacramento and if Mitch hits on a setup, look for this type of performance in 2012.
I am not sure if other teams plan on attending all events in 2012, which is essential to make a championship run, but they all have proven the potential to win any event they attend. With that said, this will prove to be another great year of AA/Supercharged racing.
