Although Tim “Moose” Mallicoat secured a record sixteenth victory, it was a perfect track surface and the most brutal field of competitors ever assembled which made the September 18th event in the 2007 SX Performance (http://www.sx-performance.com) Street Car Shootout Series a contest which nearly defied description. One week after the Super Sixteen field produced a record 10.96-second “bump spot”, a virtual parade of the quickest and fastest drivers in the series laid waste to almost every performance standard by ridiculous margins.
Producing a nearly insane “bubble” of 10.44 seconds--more than a half-second quicker than any sixteen-car field before it--spectators at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois, witnessed more than half of the assemblage record career-best elapsed times and speeds which, in some cases, were up to four tenths of a second quicker than previous bests. An inordinate amount of wheelstands marked the show and, through the efforts of the GIR starting line crew, traction was not only more plentiful than ever before but the starting line held its adhesion throughout the event.
Examples of the insidiously fast program came at nearly every turn. Only one week before, the Super Sixteen field featured its first program in which all sixteen qualifiers clocked speeds over 120 miles per hour. This week, every qualifier was over 130 miles per hour. The September 11th event featured a record field average of 10.18 seconds and 135.37 mph. Seven days later, the field averaged a mind-boggling 9.54 at 143.55 mph…an improvement of two-thirds of a second and more than eight miles per hour! A run of 9.32 seconds or better was required to qualify in the top half of the show, (more than eight-tenths of a second quicker than the previous record set on October 17th, 2006), and no less than eleven qualifiers ran under ten seconds. Moreover, the four drivers who competed in eliminations all ran quicker than 9.12 seconds…almost four-tenths of a second quicker than previously required.
New members entered every “Performance Club” listed in the SCSS annals including the 160 MPH, 150 MPH, 140MPH, 130 MPH and 120 MPH Clubs as well as the Eight, Nine, and Ten-Second elapsed time rosters. Three new overall SCSS records were set including the all-time Speed mark. In short, it was an astounding evening of racing and, as if the numbers themselves were not enough, the event ended with one of the most bizarre and crowd-pleasing scenarios in the eighty-three event history of the Street Car Shootout Series.
Ironically, conditions weren’t outrageous. Although the corrected elevation ranged from 2166 feet above sea level when the gates opened to 1324 feet during the final rounds, the “air” was, on average, approximately six hundred feet worse than the previous week. However, that didn’t stop Tim Mallicoat from recording the quickest run of his life during early timed trials when his all-conquering 565-cubic inch naturally-aspirated ‘68 Camaro from launching to an incredible 1.245-second sixty feet elapsed time and charging to an 8.59 at 156.54 miles per hour.
The first records destroyed came from an unlikely source. Missourian Chris Calkins, whose orange 1970 Chevy stepside pickup is renowned in truck racing as one of the premiere competitors in the Diesel Hot Rod Association, staged his 403-cubic inch DuraMax-powered turbocharged rig and obliterated Illini Phil Blackburn’s twenty-five month-old SCSS Diesel records with an awesome 10.57/135.50 which wrecked the old marks by 1.2 seconds and more than twenty miles per hour!
As the fans attempted to recover from Calkins’ blast, an unfamiliar red ‘93 Mustang pulled to the starting line. Matt Bell, a regular in NMCA Nostalgia Pro Street with a nitrous-aided ’91 Mustang, had earlier arrived in the pits with a new NMRA Drag Radial entry. Using an 85mm turbocharger on a 359-inch small block Ford power plant nestled in a chassis created by legendary builder Chris "Noodles" Hemmeter, Bell was not only testing for the upcoming NMRA World Finals in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but also hoped to make a dent in SCSS competition. Upon launching, the Ford spun the radials furiously to a 2.16-second sixty feet ET but Bell recovered and clocked a 10.08...at 163.93 miles per hour! The run erased Steven Gentry’s two-week old record of 162.41 mph before qualifying concluded its first hour!
