CJY SPONSORS THE BEAVER SPRINGS DRAGWAY 100 MPH CLUB

Posted by admin  Published in General Car Stuff

Because I grew up as a street racer and was always involved in the street racer underground in my area, The 100 MPH Club at Beaver Springs Dragway has been a perfect match for CJY sponsorship. The 100 MPH Club is a list of cars that can run 100 MPH or faster in the ¼. http://www.beaversprings.com/100mphclub.html

Every year, CJY buys jackets for the top 10 fastest Street legal cars in the 100 MPH Club at the Beaver. To earn one of these jackets at Beaver Springs, you need to be able to run better than 135 MPH in the ¼ mile, in street legal trim (mufflers, DOT tires, current tags & inspection). Sorry, no full tube chassis. The # 1 position is called the president. To be the president, usually requires better than 155 MPH. In 2004, Rob Felegie set the record with a 167 MPH pass in a Pa. street legal 69 Camaro.

The history of the 100 MPH Club digs deep into the history of a local car club called the Keystone Garage Club. The Garage Club started renting the track from Beaver Springs Dragway track owner Bob McCardle in the mid 90’s to beat the crap out of their cars and see who was the fastest. It was preparation for the only streetcar shootout in the state at the time, King of the Street at Maple Grove Raceway. When Maple Grove decided that King of the Street was a waste of their time, the Garage Club & Bob quickly came up with the Mean Street Nationals. The popularity of the Mean street Nationals quickly sparked Friday Night Street Racing at the track and the 100 MPH Club. The now legendary Pa. street racer, The late Tom Larnard dreamed up this concept. Tom was well know for driving a 10 second, street legal 69 Camaro every day on his 60 mile, one way commute to work. At the time, his 68 Camaro was the fastest street car at Beaver Springs (running high 8s) for which he got nothing official from the track.

Most drag racing programs reward consistency and that’s …….. nice, but CJY knows the real street racer is only concerned with one thing! HOW FAST IS IT? Points systems don’t reward the fastest machine on the street, but CJY does because we’re street racers too!
