March 8, 2012
As in past 8 years Joey Steckler and Joey's Place Paint and Restoration uses a portion of his company's display to show his work with race cars. There was over 800 new vehicles of all makes on display but since Edmonton no longer has an indoor custom car show select companies are chosen to display what is going on in the aftermarket. The show draws 75,000 people so it is great exposure, it is amazing how many people are familiar with funny cars and drag racing yet know little about where and when we race in Canada. I guess that is why it is important that racers need to get out to places other than race events to promote our sport.
Very nice Joey. The RMNFC 2012 Schedule will be posted soon. There are at least 8 events for 2012
March 4, 2012 The Sekura Chevy II has a new look and Ron headed to Bakersfield for the March Meet. He just failed to qualify running a 6.97 on the Pro 7.0 index. He made a lap on Sunday and ran 7.05 which would have put him in the top half of the field.
February 17, 2012 A new driver for the Ace Funny Car Sitko Family Racing and Team Ace Racing
Troy Sitko (29) will take over the reigns of the Team Ace Racing 1937 Chevrolet blown alcohol funny car for the 2012 race season. Team owner, Harold Parfett and the Sitko Family Racing team have extended their partnership to include both of the Team Ace Racing nostalgia funny cars. Nathan Sitko (26) will be the primary driver of the 1977 Plymouth Arrow nitro funny car. The Ace team, based out of Bittern Lake, Alberta will once again be defending the Rocky Mountain Nostalgia Funny Car title this season with their new driver. In 2011, Eddy Plaizier drove the popular funny car to the points championship, adding to a long list of credentials for the talented driver, including multiple International Blown Alcohol Association championships and multiple International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Rocky Mountain Nationals titles. The team has been racing together since 2004. Co-owner of the Sitko Family Racing nostalgia nitro funny car team, Troy began driving in the new Junior Dragster class in 1993 at the age of 10 years old, where he won the first race he ever competed in. He drove in the class through 1998 and, at the age of 15, finished second in the class in the Edmonton track's points chase. Troy crewed on top alcohol dragsters and funny cars driven by Serge Dion and Nathan Sitko up until 2007 when he earned his license in Marty Sjogren's top alcohol dragster, which he drove to a 5.93 second best at 237 miles per hour. In 2011, Troy upgraded his license in the Sitko brothers' new nitro funny car and drove it at an event later in the year. He clocked a 6.07 second best at 224 miles per hour. 2012 will be Troy's
first year with the Rocky Mountain Nostalgia Funny Car group. He will also continue
to drive the nitro funny car at a couple of to-be-determined events in 2012. The
team will be hitting a few local events, including the 2012 IHRA Mopar Rocky Mountain
Nitro Jam Nationals (July 6th-8th at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton), as well as
events in Las Vegas, Nevada and Mission, British Columbia. The team also hopes
to compete at the 2012 California Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield, California with
both funny cars. February 16, 2012 The RMNFC has a new sponsor, Home Style Construction. Jimmy Fersch's new paint has been applied to his '71 Cuda, sweeeeettt!!!!!!!! Now if only summer would be here.
January 10, 2012 Shane Reykdal's profile page is up including new photos. A new Member and car for 2012 Jimmy Fersch,
well known in the club for the past few years just could no longer resist being
in the driver seat of his own car. Jimmy will be a force in the club this year
with his beautiful brand new car just built by Washington veteran builder Randy
Parker. It has the best in parts including the full drive line from a top West
Coast Pro- Mod car. The car is now at Joey's Place for all the finishing work
of body and painting. Since Jimmy is the owner of Big West Dodge in Drayton Valley
Alberta the car had to have a Chrysler body. The body will be painted to resemble
a factory looking 1971 Hemi Cuda.
A new body for the Red Max Race Team Roddie
McMillan has shown his full commitment to the RMNFCA by doing all the necessary
changes to his race team to change from a Top Alcohol car to what is sure to be
one of the top cars in our club.
The top three from 2011 include 2011 series champion Eddy Plaizier (center) awarded the season champion plaque as well as a set of Mickey Thompson's and a M/T Jacket from Edmonton's Trail Tire, series major sponsor. Cal Tebb finished in second place (left) and Joey Steckler 3rd place finisher (right).
December 25, 2011 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. November 23, 2011 Thanks for a Great Year!
It was a very successful year for the RMNFCA, we started out in May with 9 cars and by the time of our year end party we had 13 teams represented. As a group we had many highlights, from the bigger events such as the 32 funny car show in Mission B.C to the IHRA National event in Edmonton. We also had several smaller but equally exciting events such as in Provost and Drayton Valley Ab. to name a few. Several of our members also traveled and represented the group at other events including the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield Ca., Super Chevy Sunday in Phoenix, Salt Lake City and even Port Alberni BC. We look forward to 2012 and remain committed to putting on a fun, exciting show where the fans are always welcome to interact with us. With 2 new teams bringing our number to 15 cars we will constantly strive to maintain a high standard with all our teams in both equipment and also appearance of car and crew every time we come to a race track. From all the members of the Rocky Mountain Nostalgia Funny Car Association we would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. We look forward to seeing everyone back at our events in 2012. For any
inquiries into our group contact either:
