COMP Cams® Dirt Late Model Customers Heat Up Winternationals
Scott Bloomquist, Don O’Neal, and Darrell Lanigan utilize COMP Cams® components to conquer big money shows during the 2010 Winternationals in Florida and Georgia
Each year in late January and early February the best of the best Dirt Late Model pilots head south to escape the clutches of Old Man Winter and to chase the big money prizes posted during the course of the annual Winternationals. The 2010 season has been no different so far as the top kamikaze pilots in the country have already been burning up the tracks.
Most notable early in the season has been COMP Cams® customer, Scott Bloomquist from Mooresburg, Tennessee, who has been experiencing nothing short of his best Speedweeks performance ever. The driver tabbed “Black Sunshine” kicked off the 2010 season with a $7,500 triumph at Golden Isles Speedway (Brunswick, Georgia) during the annual Super Bowl of Racing, and then backed it up with a pair of top three finishes at the lightning-fast oval. After wreaking havoc in Georgia, Bloomquist invaded East Bay Raceway Park (Tampa, Florida), which has been a thorn in his side for most of his career. 2010 would prove to be the year that he vanquished the thorn as he picked up a $5,000 win and a $10,000 win, while also tallying two more top three finishes during the course of the Lucas Oil Late Model Series sanctioned events behind the wheel of his #0 Team Zero/Jay Dickens Powered entry.
Another COMP Cams® customer that enjoyed success with his Jay Dickens power plant at East Bay Raceway Park was Martinsville, Indiana driver, Don O’Neal. Coming into Speedweeks 2010, “The Real Deal” had amassed eleven feature wins in Winternationals action at East Bay Raceway Park, and O’Neal used a late race pass to rocket his way to win #12 and the accompanying $12,000 payday on Saturday, February 6th in the Lucas Oil Late Model Series event as the SPEED TV cameras captured all the action.
With the winter action shifting to Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) for the next six nights, Darrell Lanigan captured the $7,000 winner’s check in the first round of the UMP DIRTCar Nationals on February 8th with his Cornett Thunder engine.
As COMP Cams® continues to provide individual drivers with the top notch, dependable valve train products that they demand, the company also is expanding its involvement in Dirt Late Model Racing as a whole. For the 2010 season, COMP® has been named as the title sponsor of the fast-growing, COMP Cams® MSRA Super Late Model tour as well as continuing their sponsorship of the 2010 Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series Engine Builder Challenge and the Topless 100 at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas).

CITY OF BELLEVILLE GETTING ‘HOOKED UP’ FOR BELLEVILLE 100
BELLEVILLE, Kan. (Feb. 3) – As intrigue grows for the running of the Belleville 100 this July, so does the interest from the RV community.
The Hi-Banks RV Park is reporting that their location, situated directly across from the world famous Belleville High Banks race track, is nearly filled with reservations for the July 2-4 drama-filled racing event.
Recreational vehicle travelers to Belleville need not be dismayed. The Belleville 100 team has arranged with the City of Belleville to have an additional 40 electrical hook-ups available on a first-come, first-served basis.
These additional electrical hook-ups have 30- and 50-Amp options, and will be available at the power plant park located just one block west of the hallowed race track grounds. The hook-up fee at “Power Plant Park” is just $15 per day. There is access to water hydrants in this area, however, sewer hook-ups are not.
A dump station is located at another popular Belleville camping area known as Rocky Pond, which has eight full hook-up RV stalls and is owned by the City of Belleville. Rocky Pond offers tent camping and non-hook-up camping throughout the park, plus fishing and boating for small vessels. The RV electrical hook-up sites at Rocky Pond are also on a first-come, first-served basis.
Restroom and shower facilities are available at both locations. New showers and restrooms will be constructed in the city park prior to the Belleville 100, according to city officials.
Should RV owners have further questions concerning city-owned RV hook-ups, they may direct inquiries to 785-527-2288. For information concerning other lodging options, click the ‘Lodging’ button at the Official Website of the Belleville 100 at www.belleville100.com.
The Belleville High Banks is perhaps the most demanding dirt track in the country in terms of expecting the most of driver and equipment. Certainly it is the fastest half-mile dirt track in the country and most certainly can boast its number one ranking in historical longevity.
While many aspects of the automobile and auto racing have changed since Belleville’s first auto race held in 1910, two things really haven’t changed: the test of the machine and the endurance of the driver.
In July 2010, machine and driver will be tested in a contest never before witnessed at the “World's Fastest Half-Mile Dirt Track” or the Great Plains States. The celebration of 100 years of auto racing in Belleville and the advancement of the motor car will take place at the Belleville 100 featuring Modifieds on the Belleville High Banks, July 2-4, 2010.

The thrilling conclusion will be the 60-lap championship “A” main with 30 cars starting three-wide on the big half-mile clay oval with $10,000 earmarked for the winner and a minimum of $1,000 for each of the starters.
But that’s not all ... the pole sitter for Saturday’s championship ”A” main will have the option of starting dead last in the field and a whopping $100,000 paycheck if he/she can win from the 30th starting position.
Dozens of contingency prizes will also be awarded during the event, plus a Halfway Leader Award, Hard Charger Award, Hard Luck Award and more. Attendees can also look forward to a gigantic fireworks display to round out the Independence Day celebration.
Sunday will conclude the Fourth of July Holiday with a dazzling auto thrill show and other entertainment suitable for a 100-year celebration of auto racing, including the Pig 100 — a not-so-light-hearted special event featuring real live pigs and a shot at $500 for one lucky participant.
