2012 X275 Drag Radial Schedule

Racing this season in the northeast is going to be a blast again with our X275 Drag Radial Nova. We have quite a few engagements planned for our fans along with our usual bevy of sponsors products available at most races. Our 2012 sponsors have given us the "OOMPH" needed to again regain our standing as one of the most successful cars to run in many different classes. We thank our fans and sponsors who follow us and the Nova at each and every event and hope to see you soon at any one of them.

Marschan Motorsports Gets Ink In RPM Magazine
December Issue Features The x275 Drag Radial Nova In The Pages

With the release of the December RPM Magazine, inside the pages of this premium racing publication is the article entitled "Shakedown at E Town" The Northeast Unleashed. This event article is the 9th published exclusively through its entire history from day one.

This year at the 9th Annual, more than eight classes were featured which as with any publication a race this large and an article have limitations as to images and words. Though Marschan Motorsports X275 Drag Radial Nova was not at the top of the field it certainly caught the editors eye as it always does.

The glistening blue flamed body shimmered in the brilliant sun and topping it off with the flames gave the editor "Chris Biro" more than enough fuel to add this into the outstanding article.

RPM Magazine is available in both print format and online but the print version is just too nice with heavy stock glossy oversized paper. They also have revamped their website into one of the best there is. Stop in and see them here at RPM Magazine Dedicated to Extreme Horsepower Worldwide

2011 Mar-Schan Motorsports - Our Year Year in Review
National Media Coverage And Sponsor Thanks

The 2011 season had its ups and downs as many seasons do but we still look back and while our high expectations weren't met we still worked as hard as we could to provide exposure for our marketing partners.

Mar-Schan Motorsports began the season with some repairs to our combination from the end of 2010. Even after the repairs we were met with some mechanical issues right from the outset that necessitated another attempted repair and finally a replacement of our block. The time investment and financial hassles associated with this unexpected problem slowed us up right away and took us out of competition for the heart of the season. With help from ATI Performance Products we were able to rebuild and get back out. We were not satisfied with this past year and will exert the needed energy and dedication to put our best foot forward on the track and off the track for our sponsors and marketing partners.

We did gain national media coverage in 2011 again for our efforts. I wrote and article for Fastest Street Car Magazine's Blog which can be found here: Fastest Street Car Magazine's Blog

There was also a condensed version that made the print issue of the magazine. Fastest Street Car Print Version

We also garnered some coverage from the MIR NMCA event in the Fastest Street Car Magazine located here: MIR NMCA event in the Fastest Street Car Magazine

We were also mentioned in the November 2011 issue of Chevy High Performance Magazine where we were called one of their "favorite cars on the property" which featured two pictures of the car and engine combination and mentioned several of our sponsors.

The car has also been featured in a couple of our partner's catalogs including Quick Fuel Technology, Smith Brothers Push Rods, Moroso and Diamond Pistons.

We appreciate the all our sponsors and the help they have provided and look to continue our growth as a valuable asset to their company and hopefully yours. We are looking for a primary financial sponsor for 2012 that will help us take our program to the next level. Please feel free to contact me with any ideas you may have to make your goals a reality.

I want to thank the following companies, in no particular order, for their support this past season:
ATI RACING / INVISIBLE GLASS / M&M COMPETITION ENGINES / BMS RACING ENGINES / SMITH BROTHERS PUSHRODS / MOROSO / TOTAL SEAL / BOCCELLAS AUTO / JESEL / MICKEY THOMPSON / NGK SPARK PLUGS / PWD LUBRICANTS / VP / CLARK INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY / DJ SAFETY / MILLER WELDERS

Best Regards,
Marc Schankweiler

Marschan Motorsports X275 Drag Radial Nova Back on Track!
Cecil County, Shakedown At E Town Now MIR Coming Up.

We are hoping that we have turned the corner and removed the thorn in our side that has caused us problems since last season. Mar-Schan Motorsports has been to two races in October, the Cecil County Street Car Shootout and the 9th Annual Shakedown At E-town, since we put the new bullet in the car. Unfortunately we were also a victim of the economy at the same time and got laid off due to a change in contractors where I was employed. Hence, the delay in keeping everyone up to date, as we reach out to our contacts in the industry and look for a new place of employment, but we have a motor!

Drag Racing News From M&M Competition Engines

I want to thank ATI Performance Products for working with us and Dart to procure the new block to get us up and running as well as M&M Competition Engines for donating the machine work and Josh at BMS Racing Engines here in Pa for staying late and letting me steal room in the shop to weed through all the issues when building a new motor. It's never a "bolt together" as I always think it will be.

Working Out The X275 Drag Radial Nova At Cecil County Photo By Seth At GoneDragRacing

Back to the track: We got the motor fired up the night before the Cecil County race as usual and shook out a few cobwebs with the car and tried to remember how to drive and tune for track conditions and neither worked out so well and we were a disappointing DNQ. I was hoping for some test runs after that but the constant mist in the air put a damper on the program and it was postponed.

The following week our team attended the Shakedown At E-town in Englishtown, New Jersey. We had the typical Mar-Schan Motorsports luck just getting to the track, let see, fuel leak in the motor home fuel tank, blown radiator hose, and broken cylinder head exhaust flange. Yes, the head actually broke along the New Jersey Turnpike. What a noisy ride that turned into! I guess 52,000 miles can be a lot on a Ford, go figure. It didn't matter we would deal with that after the race. There were 29 cars in the x275 class at The Shakedown and we qualified I believe around number 18 with our first pass being our best. We started to add some power to our baseline tune up but the weather got worse each time and negated our efforts. The track took a turn for the worse when the sun came out Sunday afternoon, and after a last minute change on the starting line, we still spun the tires. We did however, set up a table at our trailer and put out brochures and decals from Moroso, Quick Fuel, Stoner Solutions, ATI, Mickey Thompson and Jesel and answered a bunch of questions about the products and our program so that part of the weekend was a big success! I want to thank Boccella's Performance for helping us with expenses for the weekend as well as a place to store and repair my motorhome once we got home. Thanks Mike!

The good news was that we drove the car out of the trailer and into the garage after each day, which is always good!

Our next event once we get the new head for the motor home will be the U.S. Army World Cup Finals at MIR. Here is a link to the event as well as a promotional video,

The place is PACKED to say the least plus its a quarter mile event! We hope to make a good showing and catch some people's attention to our program and our sponsor's products. If you would like to have a bigger share or have your logo more prominently displayed on the car for this event just let me know. Our future plans beyond this event include a trip once again to Orlando and the PRI show in December to personally thank our friends and partners and check out the latest products in the business.

Hope to see you there!

X275 Small Block Build In Fastest Street Car Blog

The NMCA headed south towards MIR on the middle leg of their series featuring the X275 Drag Radial Class where-as Marc Schankweiler followed into the class and qualified well only to lose in the first round agianst some of the stiff competition nowadays in this growing venue.

The little Nova with a nitroused small block couldn't hold off the charge of Mike Fratena. Marschan Motorsports is now awaiting delivery of a new iron block to help dismiss the problems of the earlier aluminum block setup but will still rely on the same heads and intake for the coming year.
