MBA Racing is dedicated to the nostalgia of classic Pontiacs. Currently we have three cars participating in competition.  In several Bracket classes as well as Pro-Gas classes of B-Gas and D-Gas. We retired one car from the Drag Racing events at the end of the season of 2008, a 1979 Pontiac Trans AM 10th Anniversary known as Rocky.   

Rocky – 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary with the stock 403 Oldsmobile motor. This was Apryl’s daily driver when she turned 16 and has been through high school Bracket and Sportsmen classes. The car is still driven on the street and is primarily stock. Apryl and her 79 Trans Am have gone many rounds and collected many trophies from unsuspected competitors.   Don’t be fooled when you see the girl at the track eating candy and laughing, when she gets in the car it is an entirely different situation.



Sugar-Rush – 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. Originally named because of the once candy orange and purple paint.  This is Apryl’s car which she competes in Bracket series and Pro-Gas events in D-Gas category.  The car has fiberglass doors, front body and hood. It has been painted to match the MBA Racing paint scheme

Former paint job on Sugar-Rush when it was orange and purple.  Apryl does like her burn outs

Fire Chicken – 1969 Pontiac Firebird convertible with Pontiac power. This car was originally destined for the salvage yard when we saved it.  This is Barbara’s car and she competes in Bracket series and Pro-Gas events in D-Gas category.

It has a VFN fiberglass pro front end and cowl hood assembly that was fabricated to fit headlamps, grills and side louvers to appear stock. Her car runs consistently in the 10’s on nine-inch rear tires, weighing 3325 lbs. The top still comes down and she enjoys catching some sunshine while warming up the car.

Lowded 67 – 1967 Pontiac GTO. Results from the testing in the end of 2008 for the 2009 season with runs in the low 8 seconds at over 165 mph. This car is Mike’s car and was initially built to run in the newly established NHRA Nostalgia series and West Coast Pro-Gas for premium exposure. MBA Racing built the car from the ground up.  It is intended to run in Pro-Gas events in B-Gas class and will also be capable of performing in the high 7-second range Top Sportsman.  See the new addition on Lowded 67 with sponsor stickers, airbrushing, car is looking like a hot rod :)  More pics on Lowded 67 and Fuel tab.
