BOWLING
GREEN, Ky. – (June 16, 2012) – Ernest McClain, Robbie Freels, and Tera
Wendland raced to their first event wins in the Hot Heads Eliminator
Nostalgia Drag Racing Finals at the 10th annual Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion presented by AAA at Beech Bend Raceway Park on Saturday night.
The
stands were filled with cheering fans as racing went on late into the
evening. In categories ranging from Nostalgia Top Fuel to Geezer Gasser,
racers roared down the quarter-mile into the darkness, past nostalgic
covered grandstands in their quest to be the best.
Jon
Capps (Nostalgia Funny Car), Troy Ray (Nostalgia Funny Car), Fred Bear
(AA/Gas Supercharged), Mickey Smith (Competition Eliminator), Mike Fuqua
(Gas Eliminator), John Castellaw (Modified Eliminator), Mike Welfel
(Top Stock Eliminator) and Gary Raber (Geezer Gasser) also were winners
at the National Hot Rod Reunion, which was delayed by a passing
afternoon thunderstorm as teams prepared for their final rounds.
In
the Nostalgia Top Fuel, Delaware native McClain beat last year’s
Reunion champion Lincoln Hassel in earlier rounds. In the finals,
McClain went up against opponent Keith Burgan and blasted past him with a
6.284 at 226.16 mph.
“My
team and I are walking on clouds after our win, it’s a great feeling to
win a National Hot Rod Reunion for the first time after attending every
single one for the past 10 years,” said McClain. “I would not be here
celebrating without my team of dedicated crew members made up of family
and close friends.”
Spectators were on the edge of their seats when 7.0 Pro raced on the quarter mile. Last year’s Reunion Champ Ron “Tikiman” Huegli, always a great showman,
put on some impressive tire-smoking runs throughout the event while
Robbie Freels sized up his competition and steered his way to the
winner’s circle. In the final, Freels of Island, Ky., faced off with
John Hadyniak. Freels blasted past Hadyniak with a 7.012 second, 184.45
mph run over Hadyniak’s 8.780 second, 109.49 mph run.
“I’m
so excited to win my first National Hot Rod Reunion,” said Freels. “And
to win it in my home state is all the better. My team and I had a great
time and we will definitely be back to win it again.”
There
was plenty of nail-biting excitement in the Junior Fuel class. Texas
native Tera Wendland was taken with emotion after three days of
heart-pounding runs. Making her Reunion debut, Tera climbed to the top
and proved to be a fierce competitor.
In
the final, Tera battled fellow Texan Ken Hawkins. Tera used a holeshot
to pick up her first National Hot Rod Reunion championship title with a
performance of 7.469 seconds at 1178.59 mph while Hawkins picked up a
7.444 second at 175.80 mph run.
“I
am so thrilled to win and to think a few weeks ago I didn’t think I
would be here, but thanks to Darrell Walden who believed in me as well
as my entire team, Frank and Scott with Neil & Parks racecars
for building such a beautiful car and my supportive boyfriend Chris
Graves,” said Wendland. “This Reunion will be one of my most memorable
because it was so much fun and one awesome final. I can’t wait for the
11th Reunion.”
Tera’s
sentiments were echoed over and over again by racers, vendors, street
rodders, hot rodders and fans following the conclusion of the 10th Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion.
“The racing element of the Reunion is unique and reminiscent of the early days in drag racing when teams
didn’t have the big sponsor dollars like we see today. It was all about
racing just for fun, meeting new friends and reuniting with old
friends,” said Steve Gibbs, event co -director. “The Reunions bring back
that nostalgia feel and we hope we can continue these great events for
years to come.”

Holley NHRA Hot Rod Reunion
Koolhouse has been a long-time Reunion participant and fan so this first-time display is a perfect fit! The popular custom car and rods magazines Ol’ Skool Rodz and Car Culture DeLuxe has become a staple in every hot rodder's garage, and share the same passion and love of American car culture and drag racing history as the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum and the Hot Rod Reunions.
So get ready to get your socks knocked off with their cool display which will be located in the oval track at Beech Bend. If you have a traditional hot rod, gasser or custom, send your pics to alan@koolhousepublishing.com or Alan Mayes , Koolhouse Publishing PO Box 1928, Tullahoma , TN 37388. Send in your regular entry to the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion staff (forms available on museum.nhra.com and click on "reunions"). Just send pics and car description for "Rodz Deluxe Lot" consideration to Alan.
On Saturday, one car will win the coveted "Rodz Deluxe Award" (a diecast plaque designed by artist Max Grundy and produced by O’Brien Truckers) and perhaps a photo in an issue of the magazine.
In addition, Koolhouse is raising the mercury level and breaking thermometers with the first-ever Ol’ Skool Rodz Pin-Up Doll contest. Contact Alan if interested in being a contestant.
Be at the hottest place this June 14-16 for the 10th anniversary of the Holley NHRA Hot Rod Reunion presented by AAA. It's going to be sweltering and you'll be whistling like a tea kettle!
Tickets are on sale now at www.nhratix.com or, by calling 800-884-6472. Three-day credentials are just $65 (advance sales only) which includes three days of fun, a goody bag with commemorative dash plaque and a reunion program.
For further details of all events at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum visit our web site at museum.nhra.com or, call 909.622.2133.
