CH3NO2 DRAG RACING AT 330 MILES PER HOUR

Simpson Racing inc. is made up of several very talented individuals all with an extensive background in the racing industry!

Dick Simpson; car chief and team owner
Byron Simpson; Crew Chief
Todd Simpson ; Driver ("pilot")
Jack Heraldson
Wayne Horton
Scott Essmeier
Ronnie Wells

Dick has been a familiar name in drag racing for years. from driving to crew chief, Dick and team simpson have achieved several national event titles as well as many awards for his crew as well as best looking car. Dick has a long list of accomplishments in the drag racing field dating back to the beginning of 1958. you name the drag strip, he has been there. You name the driver or crew chief he knows them. It is truly amazing!

Byron (or "poopie") Simpson is a five time awarded mechanic of the year , has led his team to victory several times .From crewmember to now a well respected crew chief ,Byron sets the example for our team to follow...and is his brothers keeper as well as a good friend to the whole team!

Todd Simpson started years ago helping with his fathers car and is now our nitro funny car pilot. As well as driving the Nitro powered rocket on wheels he is a valid player in the servicing of the hot Rod between rounds. His main function as crew is the bottom end.

Jack is a long term member of the Simpson crew considering He married dickies daughter Stacey. So besides being a brother inlaw to the boys he is a key player in the turn around of the car. most generally jack hits the heads between rounds and assists in every other function required and has become quite an asset to the team. Jack builds houses for a living and works on the Nitro Car for fun. What a great combination, Huh?

Wayne became a member of the team by deductive reasoning. He followed the team from race to race and just always seemed to be there. One Day poopie was running the valves and needed an extra set of hands to roll the motor. He looked up and there was Wayne with bar in hand at the blower and a smile on his face ready to help and said tell me when to roll. A fellowship with the team began right there and he has been a key player ever since!

Scott (Yak) Is By trade an Aircraft mechanic for Continental. This guy has raced everything from Motorcycles, to hot air Balloons, to roundy rounders to piloting one of the sickest Drag Cars on the Planet. A full blown 90% nitro top fuel Altered Coupe. Scott is literally the offspring of a real Rocket scientist. His father was directly involved in the early space program that put men on the moon, so his facination with high speed comes naturally. Scotts main job is the clutch and ground pounding management system for the car. All of our fuel cars make over 7000 hp but the key to a good pass is getting it to the ground. Scott came by his knick name because of his ability to strike up a conversation with anyone about anything, he is absolutely a brilliant mechanic.

Ron ( macgyver) is an engineer by trade. He Works the clutch and keeps the team in fresh heads and blocks. Ron By trade Designs and retrofits Cnc machine tools as well as builds top of the food chain Hot Rods in Pasadena Texas that keeps him pretty busy these days as well. Ron came by his nickname because of his uncanny ability to make anything with a piece of scrap and a pocket knife.

Everyone on the team brings something very special to the table that allows us to enjoy our race days as well as accomplish what we have so far. Our goal is to win a championship together furthering our foothold in the world of Nitro cars.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
