Events and promotions we have participated in to support our sponsors and or dracing racing:
05/07/11 WyoTech Car Show at their campus in Sacramento These folks sure know how to put on a car/truck show. Organized along with some great smelling BBQ. Hot Wheels had a bumpy ride getting there, got a flat on one of the trailer tire. Fortunately some nice guys hand signaled him going down the freeway. Not much fun to change a flat on a stacker trailer. One tire destroyed...... at least no trailer damage, thanks to those nice guys. Had several of our fellow racers parked with us at the show. That makes it great for the spectators as they have cars to compare to each other.
Hot Wheels Mike and Lowded 67 won "Best Drag Car" at the show. Below they are picture with Chris, one of the MBA Crew.
One really cool trophy the Wyotech folks made
The members from West Coast Pro Gas who came to the Wyotech Car Show
08/28/10 Graffiti Night for Cappuccino Car Cruisers in downtown old Folsom. We were joined by one of our fellow West Coast Pro Gas Racers Kurt who brought his A-Gas car. Was cool to have four of the club's classes present to show the spectators talk about the differences in the indexes and cars.
To end the evening ..... the MBA Racing 1969 Fire Chicken won runner up in Pro Street/ 1/4 Mile Drag class.
05/22/10 FUEL Energy Beverage Free FUEL So who would have thought of the idea of filling the bed of a dually pickup with ice and using it as a portable ice chest???? Our boys! Early this morning we filled it up with lots and lots of ice then headed out to meet the FUEL boys.
The bed of ice
Now appropriately loaded with FUEL Energy Beverage to make a lot of people happy on there way to the race. :)
The boys definetly had a GR-RRReat idea with the ice in the bed of the truck, way to go!!!
05/08/10 WyoTech Car Show at their campus in Sacramento Beautiful weather with lots of hot cars and trucks, nice way to spend the day. We were able to park with some of our buddies from West Coast Pro Gas, thanks guys :) Several of the WyoTech gentlemen who pit crewed with us at the last race came over and hung out with us. We had the chance to also see their rides. I have nick names for them that they may not be aware of but I have to have a way to remember people. Crawler Chris had his awesome 4 X 4 onsite, some serious work on his ride of which he did, that is a clean truck that can do some hardcore wheeling. Colorado Chris also known as Mile High Mopar had his Super Street truck, very clean, pumped up truck that will be out at the drag strip most likely at the end of this month. Mr. Boise I did see you slide out in your El Camino, was that a 65? AJ - my hat is off to you, GR-RRReat job the school did and I know it takes allot of work behind the scenes to do pull this off of which you were a very large part of.
MBA Racing was honored to receive the "Best Drag Car" award for our 1969 Firebird or as we call her the Fire Chicken. Thank you WyoTech.

MBA Racing had the great pleasure of being involved and in the fantastic movie "Car Stories". It is a story about different people and their love for cars. We fit right in there. :) June Bug Films made this wonderful documentary. They won many awards for the movie. We had the pleasure of being invited to attend the premiere of the movie. We also were able to attend a few other film festivals. Kari Nevil the producer is a extremely talented individual and a jewel to work with. We had a BLAST! More information at the attached link and a trailer of the movie. If you are interested in seeing the movie let us know as we can loan you a copy. http://www.junebugfilms.com/ourwork/documentary.html
Apryl and Kari at the movie premiere after party, wahoo we had fun
"Mean Barbara Jean" and her Fire Chicken. Many of the cars from the movie were on display in San Jose, CA for the movie premiere.
Mike “Hot Wheels” Winston autographing Car Stories movie posters..
We had the great pleasure of meeting Ronnie Montrose. He wrote and did the most of the music for the movie. He autographed a guitar for MBA Racing. What a treat for us. “Mean Barbara Jean” has been a fan of Montrose since she was a teenager. She also brought one of her vinyl Montrose records along and he autographed that too. Still tickled about that.
