-Team War Eagle attended its second IHRA Nitro Jam event of
the season with a visit up to Rocky Mountain Raceway, just outside
Salt Lake City, UT. The trip also marked the return of Dale
Pulde to a track in over 9 months, who is still recovering from
valley fever.
James Day opened Friday evening's program with a winning 5.95 over Todd Lesenko's shut off run, which became the first nostalgia funny car run in the 5s at Rocky Mountain Raceway. The team qualified for one of the top two spots of the night, pairing with the Roland Leong-tuned Castrol-backed entry driven by Tim Boychuck. The final was everything Mark Leigh and the team could have hoped for, as Day scored the win and his second Iron Man of the season with a quicker 5.92 over Boychuck's 6.05. Absolutely no question, that was some of the best medicine the team could have given Pulde. Read more about the team's weekend at IHRA Nitro Jam; The Salt Lake Tribune; Auto Racing News; and Drag Racing Online. |

| 05/27/11 -Team War Eagle just returned from a match race at Bandimere Speedway for the annual Night of Fire and Thunder. James Day returned to the seat and recorded an out-of-the-box 5.96 at 226 during the first round to stake claim of the first '5' for a nostalgia funny at the famed mile-high facility. |

Despite cooling track conditions, the team came back and ripped off another 5.90 pass with a 5.93! Congratulations to crew chief Mark Leigh and the entire team for another great outting! The next event on the schedule is the IHRA Nitro Jam at Rocky Mountain Raceways in Salt Lake City, Utah. James Day will return as the driver and hopes to earn his second Ironman of the season. If you're there, please stop by and say hello. In the meantime, check out the vintage video clip by Dwight Guild from way back in the fall of 1982, as Dale was captured making a late season test lap in the 1982 Miller High Life Warrior Trans Am at Orange County International Raceway.

-Wow! It's been a busy and exciting couple of weeks for
War Eagle Racing. The 2011 season kicked
off at the famed March Meet with Jeff Arend stepping into the seat
under the guidance of crew chief Mark Leigh. The team
unleashed an off-the-trailer and team best 5.82/237.96 during the
opening session of qualifying, which held for the the 4th spot of
the 16-car field.
Round one of eliminations paired Arend with Rian Konno in the Kazanjian, Lemon & Konno Mustang, and it was Arend all the way from start to finish with a winning 5.89 over Konno's off-pace 6.16. |
|
|
Unfortunately, that was as far as the team would go in eliminations due to a combination of Sunday's rain-delayed schedule being postponed to the following weekend and a prior commitment to run the IHRA Nitro Jam event down Tucson, Arizona. Jeff Arend thoroughly enjoyed his time with the team and blogged about the weekend here; NHRA Driver Blog - Kalitta Racing. |
| The team moved on to
the IHRA Nitro Jam event with James Day behind the wheel, and scored
a huge Friday night win with 5.84 and 5.89 e.t.s. Day was all
too happy to dedicate the win to Pulde. The team won both
rounds on Saturday, but was not quick enough to meet eventual winner
Peter Gallen in the big finale. Read more about the team's
weekend here; IHRA
Tucson Nitro Jam.
War Eagle Racing would like to thank everyone for the outpouring support for Dale as he continues to battle Valley Fever. He is far from out of the woods, and has an extremely long road to recovery. Stay tuned for schedule updates.
