HE SAID, SHE SAID

THIRD TIME’S A CHARM: Since Rahn Tobler was added as crew chief to the NAPA Auto Parts Dodge Charger Funny Car team in Charlotte, Ron Capps has advanced to three straight finals, coming up short until Atlanta. Capps earned his first win of the season at the NHRA’s most recent event and knows that he owes all of the success to his team. “This is such a great team, and right from the get-go in Charlotte, the first run reminded me how fun it can be to race again. I was just starting to get a little frustrated and wondered if maybe I wasn’t as good as I used to be when I was younger. It just got very difficult. When Don [Schumacher, team owner] made the move and put me with Rahn [Tobler] and John Collins, I’m telling you it was just unbelievable. I’m having so much fun right now. I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be driving this car.”

INSIDE THE NUMBERS

0–11: SCHUMACHER CAN’T WIN THEM ALL: Tony Schumacher has won 67 races and seven Top Fuel world championships, but his last win was in October 2010. The U.S. Army team has since been to 11 final rounds but has come up short each time, including at the most recent event in Atlanta. Despite the losing streak, Schumacher sits atop the Top Fuel points standings, 25 points ahead of Spencer Massey.

DID YOU KNOW…

FIRST OF MANY: Steve Torrence became the 97th Top Fuel winner when he earned his first victory in the class last weekend at Atlanta Dragway. Prior to his Top Fuel career, Torrence has won five NHRA events and the 2005 Lucas Oil championship in Top Alcohol Dragster.

The United States Senate passed Senate Resolution 452 (S. Res. 452) at the request of SEMA and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) councils designating July 13, 2012 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day.” The date marks the third commemoration in what has become an annual event to celebrate and raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. 

As with the previous two Resolutions, S. Res. 452 was sponsored by Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus members Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and Senator Richard Burr (R-NC). Senators Tester and Burr are strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, and S. Res. 452 reaffirms their understanding of the cultural importance of collector cars. The Caucus is an informal, non-partisan group that pays tribute to America’s ever-growing love affair with the car and motorsports. 

“We are grateful for the U.S. Senate’s recognition of the collector car hobby as an American pastime and means of individual expression,” said SEMA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald. “Collector Car Appreciation Day is also a singular tribute to the collector car industry and the millions of hobbyists it supports. Restoration businesses help preserve our nation’s heritage while providing well-paying, high-skilled jobs nationwide.”  

States, cities and two Canadian provinces joined the U.S. Senate last year by passing their own proclamations and resolutions. This year, the Hawaii State Legislature has already passed two resolutions and several other states are pursuing similar initiatives.

“On July 13, 2012, collectors and enthusiasts will host hundreds of events across the country,” said Laura Bergan, chairman of SEMA’s ARMO Council. “We will again proudly partner with individuals, car clubs and businesses as they organize car cruises, club gatherings and other educational events to celebrate the day.”

Through its grassroots hobbyist organization—the SEMA Action Network (SAN)—SEMA is maintaining a list of scheduled events to commemorate the day at www.semasan.com. Individuals, car clubs and business owners interested in publicizing events should contact SAN Director Colby Martin at 909/978-6721 or san@sema.org. If you are unable to celebrate July 13, SAN encourages events to be scheduled throughout the month of July.
