LITTLE RIVER, TX (MAY 7, 2007) - With a 40% chance of rain heading into Sunday's Inaugural Texas Volks Blast at Temple Raceway in Texas, there were a few show promoters/organizers who were probably pretty nervous. The rain held out and the humidity set in, "I will take the hot/muggy weather over rain any day", said Carl Nolen. In all there were 39 race cars in the three categories, Hot Rod Performance Automotive Pro Stock, CB Performance Bracket Class and the Oak Hill Automotive Street Class. "Dyno" Don Chamberlin was on hand calling the races, is there anybody else you would want calling your run down the drag strip?

This was the first event of the season for the Texas Pro Racing Association in 2007. Damon Harmon in the Quarter Toy II was the #1 qualifier in the Hot Rod Perfromance Automotive Pro Stock class and won in the finals against #3 qualifier David Crow. In the final round Damon had a 6.25 ET and David left a little soon and lit the red light.

In the CB Performance Bracket Class Al Smith faced off against James Brooke. Al dialed in a 7.06 to James' 7.64 but James lit the red bulb giving the win to Al. Al didn't take the run easy, clicking off a 7.060 ET at 94.18 MPH. For the win Al took home $2000.00 in prize money. This was the second event on the Texas Volkswagen Drag Racing Association's 2007 schedule.

In the Oak Hill Automotive Street Class Mike Amaral beat Steve Haldeman in the finals and took home a trophy and $100.00.

The two $100.00 cash prizes offered by Lo' Cash Racing for the most "cosmetically challenged" car with the best reaction time and low ET in the street class was won by Robert Bulkley.

Great job to the show promoters and organizers (Eric Ellis, Carl Nolen, John Strnad) and without the following show supporters this event wouldn't have been possible, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Action Import Motors, CB Performance, Charles Maund Volkswagen, Hot Rod Performance Automotive, Oak Hill Automotive, Airhead Parts, Austin Vee-Dub, Blythe Enterprises, Buggy Warehouse, California Import Parts, Cal-Look.com, Crow Racing Transmissions, "Dyno" Don Chamberlin, Graffeo Gearboxes, Hewlett Volkswagen, Irrational Motorworks, K & L Motorsports/SEVWA, Kenny Hill's Autowerks, Kurt's Auto Werks, Lawless Designs, Lo' Cash Racing, Meguiars, Mid America Motorworks, Motormania, Reliable Protection Services, Signtek, Vee Dub Parts Unlimited, VolksTalk.com.
