WHAT'S NEW

Memphis, TN – ZEX™ has designed a new version of the advanced LS Series Perimeter Plate Nitrous System to work seamlessly with the 2012 Camaro.

The complete, race-ready ZEX™ LS Series Perimeter Plate Nitrous System for the 2012 Chevy Camaro uses three cutting-edge technologies to provide optimum spray efficiency and fuel distribution in the newest Camaro model. These new kits use Perimeter Injection™ Technology utilizing 12 injection points to create a 360-degree, perfectly atomized blend of fuel and nitrous that generates maximum power without sacrificing engine safety. Cryo-Sync™ Technology routes the nitrous through a set of internal passages before spraying in the engine to allow the nitrous to drop to -127°F, which cools the throttle body and intake manifold. Airflow Enhancement™ Technology injects nitrous at an optimized angle, toward the center of the intake plenum to create a pocket of intense low pressure below the throttle body while the nitrous is sprayed. The low pressure area enhances airflow into your engine to improve power. These three advanced technologies maximize boost potential while maintaining the safety of your Camaro's engine. Adjustable from 100-250 horsepower, the system provides optimum spray efficiency and fuel distribution.

Memphis, TN – ZEX™ introduces the first nitrous system on the market specifically designed for the new 2012 Ford Mustang GT.

Unlike a universal kit, every piece of the new ZEX™ Blackout Nitrous System™ For The 2012 Ford Mustang GT has been designed specifically for the unique requirements of the Mustang platform. Regardless of whether it's used in street/strip, all out drag race, stock or modified applications, the latest Blackout Nitrous System™ is a fast and easy way to add a significant boost in horsepower to your 2012 Mustang. With a patented electronic TPS switch for reliable system activation at wide-open throttle, perfect for the Mustang's throttle-by-wire system, ZEX™ systems won't affect normal operation but rather will safely provide extra power when it's needed most. Plug-and-play installation can be completed in as little as two hours, with power settings fully adjustable from 75-175 horsepower with the included tuning jets. ZEX™ Blackout Nitrous Systems™ feature black powder-coated bottles, carbon fiber looking hoses and everything needed for installation, including a must-have billet fuel rail adapter for tapping into the Mustang's updated fuel system. Safer and more efficient operation is achieved through electronic activation and the nitrous system's patented Active Fuel Control™, which automatically adjusts fuel delivery with fluctuations in nitrous bottle pressure so that your engine never runs too rich or too lean while spraying.

Memphis, TN − The popular COMP Cams^® Engine Builder Duel presented by Snap-On Tools proved to be a crowd favorite once again during the 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour.

Both entertaining and educational, the COMP Cams^® Engine Builder Duel presented by Snap-On Tools engages automotive enthusiasts and casual observers alike whenever it’s held. Despite the heat, both duels held on the 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour drew big crowds. At the Nashville, TN, stop, Scotty Schehan and Kevin Gass of team COMP Cams^® faced off against Tim Weber and Ken Farris of team RHS^®. With a near-record time of 26:31, team COMP Cams^® pulled out a blazingly fast win. The Hot Rod staff filmed the exciting Nashville duel and will have video footage available on their website soon. In Indianapolis, IN, Mark Reese and Jeff Williams of team RHS^® narrowly beat Milton Kinnison and Marcus Wilson of team COMP Cams^®. Just three minutes separated the two teams. Next, COMP Cams^® will bring the popular Engine Builder Duel to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals on August 4-7 at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, KY.

Memphis, TN − As the summer heat begins to reign supreme throughout the South, racers and fans know that it means the 19th Annual COMP Cams^® Topless 100 is just around the corner. The mega-event is scheduled for August 18th-20th, 2011, at the picturesque Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas).

While many other areas of the country play host to "crown jewel" events each year, the Topless 100 is arguably the South’s only true elite event. While many insiders in the sport argue what does and doesn't qualify an event as a crown jewel, most agree that there are few events in the South that meet the criteria for the status. The Topless 100, however, definitely makes the cut. For the past eighteen years, the event, which was the brainchild of Batesville Motor Speedway general manager and promoter Mooney Starr, has been the biggest paying Dirt Late Model event in the South. With the big paydays each year come incredibly talented fields of cars at the 3/8 mile oval track, and over the years there have been some truly memorable moments.

The $40,000 first place check for the 100 lap event is no doubt a tasty incentive for any driver, but the prestige that goes with a COMP Cams^® Topless 100 title is equally appetizing for drivers from the region.

Batesville, Arkansas driver Billy Moyer, Jr., has been part of several COMP Cams^® Topless 100 victory celebrations before, but they have come with his dad, the legendary Billy Moyer, in victory lane.

"I've been to victory lane with Dad four times now over the years, and that's really cool," comments Moyer, Jr. "However, I want to know what it feels like to be the one lifting that trophy over my head at this event. I grew up going to this race, and dreaming of racing in it one day and winning it. The best drivers in the country are right here in my backyard that weekend, and it's my chance to be the best. I probably want that win more than any other. We just don't have many races of that magnitude in this area."

A fellow Batesville native got to do the unthinkable at the event in 2010, as Jared Landers killed two birds with one stone by getting his first Dirt Late Model win and his COMP Cams^® Topless 100 victory at the same time.

"It was all so unbelievable. I grew up in Batesville so obviously I've been going to that track my whole life, and I've seen every COMP Cams^® Topless 100,” states the 29-year-old Landers. “As a kid you dream of winning that race, but it just seems so impossible. To win that race last year, which was also my first Super Late Model win, was unreal. Everybody asked me when it finally hit me that I had won the Topless 100, and to be honest it was probably that next week, while I was looking at the trophy in my shop. It still seems so unreal."
