Renegade Racing Associa-tion last year, we knew we’d be doing something bigger and better in 2015 with her. It was Kristal that came up with ‘WAR By The SHORE’ for our Ohio event July 25th at Thompson Raceway Park and we carried on with it for the ‘WAR In The NORTH…This IS Sparta’ event July 3-5th at St. Thomas Raceway Park in Sparta, Ontario, Canada.”
WAR IN THE NORTHRPM/Lucas Oil
Products WAR In The NORTH…This IS Sparta! www.rpmwarinthenorth.com. JULY 3-5. St. Thomas Raceway Park, Sparta Ontario, Canada.
This innovative, high energy, all-out doorslammer and street car-based event will be held at the historical St. Thomas Dragway in Sparta, Ontario. With a lineup of wild classes at all
levels coupled with incredi-ble show cars, this event will be non-stop action!
WAR In The NORTH ClassesReal Street Outlaw pre-
sented by PRO SYSTEMS & HARLAND SHARP is An Outlaw street car class with all types of street-le-gal vehicles doing battle! Canada’s Fastest Street Car, Boo King’s Nuclear Banana Camaro will take on ALL challengers from ALL countries! Full chassis cars with big tires allowed but the question is will a small tire, badass turbo street ride take out “THE KING?” Only time will tell! You will see INSANE mega-powered OUTLAW street cars go at it, but not before they make a real street cruise! Watch big tire, full-tube chassis cars versus small tire war-riors! ALL cars are welcome & there are prizes for ALL levels of power! Full rules and payout info at www.rpmwarinthenorth.com
“Reviving our classes with street cruises com-bined with heads-up racing that we did up until 2008 was a must,” Biro explained. “The World Street Events that we started in 2005 were fantastic and set the pace for many to follow. We wanted to have a battle of the fastest street cars side-by-side in eliminations rounds rather than time trialing after cruising. So both our Real Street Outlaw and Plate Nitrous Street classes have full city/highway cruises followed by heads-up drag racing,” he added.
SPARTA SMALL TIRE SHOOTOUT – HEADS-UP BATTLES & GRUDGE RACING! TWO small-tire based heads-up, NO-TIME, no qualifying, instant green classes! IT IS NO HOLDS BARRED GRUDGE RAC-ING!
The Street King class presented by Ian Hill Racing/eshine.ca will see
insane street machines with stock-type suspensions bat-tle it out…winner take all!
The Outlaw class will get crazy, as both stock suspension and back-half cars go at it with a 29.5x10.5 or 315 radial max size tire! Action will be high flyin’ as no wheelie bars are allowed!
With organized no-ET grudge racing just taking root in Canada, RPM joined forces with its founder and added this exciting battle to the WAR lineup.
“Being the first large standalone event to bring real no time and grudge rac-ing to Canada is an exciting venture for us,” said RPM’s Raymond Knight. “We love the excitement and edgy feel it brings to the table. These are the cars we often feature in RPM, so it’s a great fit for the magazine’s northern event.”
“We’re so excited to be part of the WAR In The NORTH with the Sparta
Small Tire Shootout (SSTS) classes, and only good things have been happening since we announced it! In fact, payouts for our classes have just received a shot in the arm!” exclaimed SSTS series frontman Matthew Tamburro.
“We’re already posting a minimum $3,500 going to the winner in our Outlaw class, and $2500 going to the winner in our Street King class!” He continued, “We’re making regular official sponsorship announce-ments to give recognition to those who have stepped up to support the Sparta Small Tire Shootout at the WAR In The NORTH. Don’t miss the opportunity to race or spectate at Ontario’s pre-mier winner-take-all grudge race shootout this July 3-5th! Stay tuned for more sponsorship information from the SSTS, and we will be updating payouts as sup-port continues to roll in!”

Tamburro and his crew are the pioneers in Small Tire/No Time/Grudge racing in Canada and invite cars from both the USA and Canada to come out and have some fun racing at St. Thomas Raceway Park. “Like we said, this type of racing is fairly new north of the border but is catching on like wildfire!” added Knight. “It is insane and anything can happen, which keeps cars and fans coming back for more.”

NITROUS NATIONALS! THE FAMED NITROUS NATIONALS RETURNS TO ST. THOMAS WITH TWO CLASSES OF NI-TROUS-ONLY ACTION!
RPM is bringing back an event that was once a huge draw to St. Thomas, the NITROUS NATION-ALS. It was nothing to see thousands of people and literally hundreds of race cars pack into the relatively small venue on a Wednesday night for the Nitrous Nationals back in the ’90s. “We really wanted to bring back the Nitrous Nationals and keep it nitrous cars only. It was a huge deal back then and it just seems that the nitrous guys don’t get enough places to race against each other, and they have some killer cars!” said Biro.
NITROUS EXPRESS NITROUS OUTLAW
will see big tire Pro Mod-style nitrous cars versus the world! Awesome sky-high nitrous purges and headers lighting up the night await fans of all ages!
PLATE NITROUS STREET presented by LenTech Automatics will host small tire, plate nitrous system only (carbureted or injected), stock-type suspension cars and will have fans going wild with wheels-in-the-air MADNESS! But they better be real street cars because Plate Nitrous Street INCLUDES A STREET CRUISE right alongside our Real Street Outlaw class!
PTRA SHOWDOWN: FOUR CLASSES OF PRO TREE RACING!
The Pro Tree Racing Association joins in on the fun with Pro Comp, Open Comp, Pro Stick Comp & Trophy Comp. For RULES visit: www.protree.ca
Hosting the Pro Tree Racing Association just adds to the diversity of the WAR In The NORTH event, and the staff at RPM have deep roots with PTRA owners Kelly Cooper and Glenn Tovey as both have been involved with RPM pretty much since day one! “We’ve featured both Glenn and Kelly in RPM at some point,” Biro said, “Heck, Kelly even came to No Problem Raceway in Loui-siana for our first ever World Street event in ’05! So to see them starting to pick up steam as they grow their own series is incredible.”
“Glenn and I are extremely excited to be a part of the WAR In The NORTH,” said PTRA’s Kelly Cooper. “All our efforts over the last couple of years have culminated into this event. Sue (Cooper) and I began our racing lifestyle at the first RPM event, so it is fitting that we are now a part of what will be a great race. Chris, Trish, and their team always put on a quality event for the racers and fans alike, and the PTRA works hard to provide the best index racing experience around. We can’t wait to showcase this to the world!”
The PTRA can be found online at www.protree.ca or you can get more info by contacting Glenn Tovey at 519-456-3157 or Kelly Cooper at 519-892-6914. The series invites all racers from Canada and the USA to come out. Remember, St. Thomas Raceway Park is only two hours from the Port Huron USA/Canada border and two and half hours from the Niagara Falls borders.

“I can’t even begin to tell you how excited we are to be working with RPM Magazine on their 2015 Canadian event,” tells Jay Morse of St. Thomas Raceway Park. “It’s an opportunity that we are pulling out all the stops for and the plans we have will blow everyone away! All I can say is that if you want to experience the way the feeling and energy at a drag race should be, and was back in the day, you need to be at St. Thomas Raceway Park for The WAR In The NORTH in July.”

races is to feature EVERY OLS car that shows up to run in RPM Magazine (unless of course you have already been featured). We’ll also guarantee to add $1,000 to the win payout and $500 to R/U if 17 or more cars show up for OLS, and help Kristal and her WAR staff make this an event to remember.
To us at RPM, this class brings back the fire and enthusiasm that made small tire street car drags famous and we want to do our best to ensure its survival...OLS is just plain badass! The cars are out there, we just need to work collectively (all orgs and tracks hosting OLS) to encourage racers to compete at different venues and events.

REAL STREET SHOWDOWN presented by HARLAND SHARP: Real street machines go to WAR! Heads-up 1/8th-mile battles to determine who has the fastest real street car!
32 RACERS INVITED—16 CAR QUALIFIED FIELD—8 GOLD CARDS FOR 2016
Rules are few and can be found at www.warbytheshore.com
THIS CLASS IS INVITE-ONLY BASED ON YOUR APPLICATION
You can find the application link in the Real Street Outlaw section of the event site or go directly to it at rpm-mag.com/real-street-show-down-application/
This class was created to be like
pulling up alongside a car at the lights and running. The MINIMAL rules are simply meant to qualify it as an original style street car (as opposed to a full chassis car). We all choose what type of car we want to build and race, so no whining! Don’t wait to sign up for the action though, as the final 32-car invite list will be chosen from a max of 80 entries and there were over 40 submitted in the first week they opened!
In addition to the $5,000 winner’s purse in the Real Street Showdown class, one of the MAJOR prizes up for grabs is an RPM Magazine Team Marketing package with print expo-sure worth over $5,000 more! This includes ad space in six issues of RPM

NO RULES, NO MERCY...JUST ALL OUT WAR! “We’re very excited to add this battle to the WAR,” said Cowle. “There are so many Top Sportsman guys on the local scene that have been wanting to run with the RRA for years but our strict rules have left them on the out-side looking in...well not this time! As long as your car has working doors and is IHRA-legal to push the limits of 150 mph in the 1/8th, then BRING IT…and HOPE YOU BROUGHT ENOUGH!”

Kristal has been putting a lot of effort into making this a big time deal and it’s getting a lot of buzz around here…we just can’t wait!”
RENEGADE RACING SHOOTOUT: 8.90/9.90/10.50/11.50 1/4-mile Drag Racing
“Was Renegade destined to go to war?” asked Cowle? “Six years ago, be-fore a single race was ever run, my late husband Tommy set out to take Index Racing in Northern Ohio to a whole new level. He and three others founded the RRA’s original 8.90 class, which has since grown to include 9.90, 10.50 and 11.50 index classes. Tommy left me to carry on his legacy alongside the racers that have fought to turn the RRA into a driving force in our local racing scene and now we are instrumental in lead-ing the charge in an ALL OUT WAR with the hottest thing to hit the shore of Lake Erie in racing in a long time. And we are ready to make The WAR By The SHORE the next must do event for all racers in every class!”
Also included at the WAR By The SHORE will be Box/No-Box. 32 car fields and best reaction times make the cut. Second chance race one field for all unqualified cars.
The folks at Thompson Raceway Park have guaranteed to provide one of the most welcoming, safest tracks to race at/on for the event. “I can’t begin

RPM MAG ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACE WEEK
“To say RPM Magazine is excited to be the title sponsor for the Rocky Moun-tain Race Week is a huge understatement!” exclaimed Biro. “We literally just put this together with the event coordinator Matthew Frost. They need major support from our industry to pull an event of this magni-tude off and the RPM Magazine ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACE WEEK is a perfect fit. It reaffirms our commitment to fast street and strip cars at all levels.”
“They have definitely taken an existing concept and made it better,” continued Biro. “We’ve already talked to a number of the regular players in the ‘tour’ drag racing world and they are pretty excited about this event and looking forward to being part of it. I want to stress though, we need to see a wide variety vehicles involved and at RPM we give press to everyone, not only the winners. We are dedicating some serious real estate in several issues of RPM for this event, so sign up now to participate!”
Registration for the event started the

SHOW IT OFF AT FOUR RPM/LUCAS OIL EXTREME SHOW EVENTS!
The headliner of the RPM 2015 show lineup will be the RPM
Magazine SOUTHERN FRIED FESTIVAL & CAR SHOW, August 21-23 in Hampton, Virginia, presented by Live Wire Media and RPM/Lucas Oil Extreme Events
“This event was just so hardcore, we had to jump in with both feet,” Biro said of their 2014 experience visiting the Southern Fried Festival show as observers only.
“With so many wild street, street/strip, and race cars on-site— not to mention the awesome display of musclecars, trucks and bikes—it’s a kickass good time. Music, cars, BBQ & more, all in the great state of
Virginia in the scenic Hampton area,” added show promoter Brad Hoffman of Live Wire Media.
“This event has developed a life of its own, with over 125 top-notch BBQ competitors cooking to compete for the Virginia State BBQ Champion-ships, 700 to 900 of the most amazing hot rod, musclecar, pro street, drag race, and restored classics all descending on Hampton to celebrate everything that we love; friends, cars, music, and food. It all comes together for this great weekend, with a boat load of amazing cars and people just soaking up the summer sun and having hotrod fun.”
The event set a whole new concept in motion. A major melting pot car show with a music festival and world famous BBQ competition. The vibe was amazing, the cars made your jaw drop, the music filled the air with great sounds, the smells of BBQ made your mouth water, kids played, par-ents relaxed…the show had a lasting impact on those that attended.
For 2015, the show is branded as the RPM Magazine Southern Fried Festival & Virginia Car Show, August 22-23rd (Sat 10 am-8 pm Sun 10am-5 pm). There will be a special Welcome Party Friday August 21st at 5 pm for preregistered car owners and the
show itself will have several areas/classes including; Badass Street, Modern Mus-cle, Pro Street, Race, Custom & Collector Zone, Monster Motor Zone, Street Rod Alley, Tough Trucks, and more, along with a huge display of custom & restored bikes.
“We will see a massive growth in 2015 from all of the exposure the 2014 event experienced,” continued Hoffman. “People can’t wait. The Music festival will grow to showcase some of the region’s best up-and-coming stars in country, and rock. Vendor Alley will have custom shops, Eastern Truck & Accessories, apparel vendors, parts stores and, of course, the RPM Maga-zine set-up will be in full force giving away thousands of free magazines and searching for feature cars.”
The RPM Southern Fried Festival will be promoted at the upcom-ing Virginia Hotrod and Custom Carshow, April 11-12 at the Hampton Convention Center. You can register your car there to get in on that welcome Party August 21st! For more

PRO STREET NIGHT with RPM at Iron Bridge Sports Park, June 13th, Chester, VA. www.eastcoast-prostreets.com
When approached about getting a bunch of like-minded car guys together for a small gathering, East Coast Pro Streets director Doug Fields ran with it!
“I really thought about something a bit bigger than just a few of us when I came up with the Pro Street Night,” explained Fields. “Facebook just sort of blew up with it. Last year was the first year and we had about 85 pro street cars and about 200 other hot rods, and the event was only advertised for three months! We had no idea of the response we were going to get!”
The event is more of a good old-fashioned bench racing and chat day among people with a common interest: the love of hot rods, hanging out, and not being judged on whose car is faster or better. “Being able to talk about each other’s builds and just having a good time is what the Pro Street Night is about,” he continued. “The response was so overwhelming from last year and with everyone asking whether or
not we would be doing it again, this year I took the liberty of renting the entire Iron Bridge Sports Park in Chester, VA. The response has been huge—al-most overwhelming—already.”
Fields figures the day will attract in the area of 150-200 pro street cars in addition to 300-400 more hot rods and musclecars cars from six different states. “I’ve never seen anything take off like this. These guys have nowhere to go where they just fit right in, I guess. This is the place for them. So many people have the cars, but in their hometown there might be only four or five total at their local hang-outs. Here, at our get-together, the pro street cars are parked side by side in the Pro Street Zone.”
“I would also like to thank the following spon-sors: Live Wire Media, RPM Magazine, Tubbed Magazine, and Jerry Gary’s Pro Street Era group for their help in promoting the biggest pro street gathering on the east coast.”
RPM MAG/Lucas Oil Products Extreme Events will also be supporting the TOP 12 Wildest Machines pick from the ScottieD TV Kavalcade Of Kool event in Auburn, Indiana June 12-13th at Auctions America Auctions Park. www.kaval-cadeofkool.com or www.auburnshifters.com
