Buzdas, a former NHRA Division 7 Jr. Dragster champion and recent driver of Jim Ray’s potent Blown Alcohol Top Eliminator West Dragster from Yuba City recently completed his NHRA 2A licensing procedures in a test session driving Ray’s rail to a best elapsed time of 6.12 seconds at 229 miles per hour. For the rookie TAD pilot, the opportunity to drive for the Brazil family is a dream come true.

“I am very thankful to Jerry and Betty for providing me with the honor of driving their very competitive race car,” noted Buzdas, who is preparing to enter his junior year this fall at California State University in Fresno. “It has always been a goal of mine to drive in the TAD division and being selected to pilot the Brazil Racing Blown Alcohol Dragster and follow in the footsteps of previous team drivers Tom Anderson, Brad Hansen and Darren Nicholson is indeed a luxury I did not expect. We understand a learning curve is expected, however we’ve got over 50 years of drag racing experience tuning the wrenches of this car and I’ve got some great mentors to learn from. I can’t wait to hit the track.”

The Brazil Racing team will be assisted by the tuning talents of Dave and Larry Edgecomb, who have competed in both Blown Alcohol and A/Fuel trim in NHRA Division 7 for several years. Supporting the team this season are marketing partners MotoWear.com, kurbsidekustoms.com and CRX Media. The team will spend a full day testing in Sonoma prior to debuting at the Division 7 LODRS Event.

“This past off season has been very educational for me and I am extremely thankful for the support of good friends and my family,” Buzdas added. “This opportunity to drive for the Brazil family would not be possible had it not been for Jim Ray. He approached me when I was 17 about driving his Advanced ET car and has been very important in my growth as a driver and a person. It’s people like Jim and Brazil family who are great for our sport. They are die-hard racers and I’m humbled they took a chance on me. I plan to make them proud.”

Sacramento, Calif. – Blown Alcohol Dragster driver Kenny Buzdas believes the experience he and his Top Eliminator West team have learned this season will help propel the James Ray’s 2007 Top Eliminator West championship dragster to victory this weekend during the 35th Annual Famous Fox Hunt at Sacramento Raceway in Sacramento, Calif.

After the last TEW event in Medford, Ore., (a first round break out by 0.03-seconds) Buzdas and team owner Ray realized they had a car and driver combination, which under the right conditions and proper lines of communication can be down right nasty. The twenty-year old driver from Yuba City, Calif. is cautiously optimistic some home cooking at their local race track will pay dividends.

“We’ve run so often at Satco under multiple weather and track conditions with this set-up, we believe we have enough run data to lay down some seriously consistent performance,” stated the 2007 TEW Champion. “With the outlook of cooler temps we are looking to run well and be consistent. And if it’s cool, the J. Ray Concrete ‘digger’ is going to haul the mail.”

Having won the event in 2007, Buzdas is eager to have a shot at repeating history.

“The Fox Hunt has been a staple of entertainment longer than I’ve been alive,” noted the driver who was born nearly twenty-years after legendary promoter Bill Donner created this novel concept. “The atmosphere is always great, the fans always have a good time. We are hoping the TEW cars all come out to play this weekend and put a great show on for the fans.”

The Famous Fox Hunt at Satco will feature not only the TEW 6.30-second index class, but also Top Sportsman Racing, the CIFCA Funny Car Association, Outlaw Pro Mod’s, 7.0 Pro Dragsters and a special Nitro Front Engine Nostalgia Dragster vs. Jet Car match-race.

A test and tune session will commence on Friday from Noon till 4pm. The TEW category will have their first qualifying session on Friday evening scheduled to begin at 6:55pm. A second qualifying session will occur at 1:41pm local time on Saturday. First round for the eight-car TEW field is scheduled to commence at 5:51pm.

As is traditional with a Fox Hunt, the “Foxes” get in free on Saturday.
