Nemeth - Sitko - Edmonton Test Session

Test session in Edmonton shows great promise for 2006!

​

Edmonton, AB – The Sitko Family Racing side of Nemeth Racing took to the track this weekend at the newly named Castrol Raceway in Edmonton.
Weather and track conditions were exceptionally good for the team’s first outing of 2006, and their performance showed it. On the first of two planned test passes, which was also Nathan’s first time in the new car, everything went better than expected. After a light rattle of the tires at the beginning of the run the car ran straight and true to about the 900-foot mark where Nathan clicked it off and coasted through to an impressive 6.297 second pass at 185.56 MPH. The team ran their fastest 1/8th mile speed with the Funny Car at 185.83 MPH.

Nathan made a seamless transition from the Sitko car to the Nemeth car, and with a slightly different throttle setup than before his reaction times improved greatly from the previous season.

The second pass of the day was even better than the first. With a smooth “right down broadway” run they raced to their quickest ever elapsed time with a Funny Car – a 6.059 second blast at 228.13 MPH.

The entire Sitko team is now in preparation for their first race of 2006 – the Lucas Oils Division 6 points race in Mission, BC, June 2,3,4.

The Sitko’s would also like to welcome back two of their major Sponsors, Western RV Country and Western Camp Services, along with their associate sponsors Precision Performance, Shock Wave Metal Fabrication, Fairmont Electroplating, Campbell Automotive, Chris Johnston Enterprises, George Sitko Components, and Commercial Solutions.
