Recent News Article Featuring The Story Of The 66 Nova

For most of us car enthusiasts, it all started with the first car we ever had. That is the vehicle that defined what kind of "guy" we were going to be. If you were rolling around in a Ford Mustang the day you got your license, than it is pretty certain you would be a Ford guy from then on – that goes for Chevy and Mopar as well. Marc Shankweiler, owner of MarSchan Motorsports, has the same story, so read more about him and his bad, blue, True Street '66 Nova II.
Like many car fanatics, Marc got hooked on drag racing from early on, although his parents didn't quite like it. His first car was a '66 Nova that he had in high school. It was a garage project with a 327 – enough to put a smile on any kids face. The car quickly stole all of Marc's time (plus money) and he soon found himself finding ways to get around his parents and down to the dragstrip.

Trying To Make Up For Lost Time
275 Drag Radial Atco Raceway Ultimate Outlaws Shootout 2010
Post Date: 8/16/2010 | Author: Marc Schankweiler

 In drag racing the object is to go from point A to point B as quick as possible. There is a very good chance that if you do not make a perfect run and lose any time you are going to be sitting in the stands watching those that didn't, wishing you were still in the game. Unfortunately, I lost months of data earlier this season by not having control of the time it takes to put a new program together. At this point I am trying to make up for lost time so that we can compete at a high level near or at the front of the pack.
In the past two weekends we have qualified #3 both times out of fields made up of 14 and 15 cars respectively. You already have the story of the first weekend, but this past weekend we were at Atco Dragway in New Jersey for the Ultimate Outlaw Shootout presented by Coast Chassis Design, Pritchett Brothers Racing, VP Fuel, Racing Junk and Holeshot Wheels to name a few. I arrived at the track Friday afternoon in order to test that evening and to get some data on a slightly more powerful tune-up than the prior weekend. The track was in great shape all weekend thanks to Jason from VP Fuels and their traction compound. We made 3 passes, including 1 aborted pass where the front end headed skyward. The tune up was looking good so we packed up for the evening of relaxation and some bench racing with the other 275 drag radial competitors.
 Saturday morning I was woke by the sun shining in through the back windows of my truck where I spent the night. It wasn't the Marriot or even a Motel 6 but it got the job done and the price was right! The air was crisp and the smell of horsepower could be sensed just through the nostrils of the seasoned racer.
It was going to be a great day for racing. My crew showed up and we went to work warming the car up and sticking a new set of NGK spark plugs into the combustion chambers of the engine so we could get a good reading of what was going on inside the fiery small block.
 "Pritchett Controls Extreme 275 Drag Radial to lanes 7 and 8 for your first round of qualifying!" It was time to get rolling and see how we would do. After the first round we were qualified in the number 6 position with a 5.419 but wanted to improve in the second round and we all felt that the track could handle what we could throw at it, and it did. We stepped up to the number 3 slot with a 5.307 and ahead of most but behind the front runners of the class Chris Evans and Ron Rhodes.
In round 1 of eliminations I ran the number 14 qualifier and ran a 5.337, not where we wanted to be but good enough for the win. In the other race to see who I would face, on paper there was a big upset but if anyone knows the hardware under the hood of Wally Pfister it wasn't a surprise. Wally improved from a 5.679 in qualifying to a 5.141 in the first round easily dispatching his opponent. I ran all over the pits between rounds looking for that proverbial kitchen sink to throw at my engine to see if it would help, but couldn't find one so we stuck with the same tune up we had hoping that Wally the contender would somehow be transfigured back to Wally the qualifier. Well that didn't work either. When the amber lights flashed and I released the trans brake button allowing the fluid to engage the valve body in the G&C Pro Trans I was looking up at the clouds in the sky thanks to the rapidly improving atmospheric conditions and the torque multiplication of my Pro Torque torque converter. When the front end of the car came back down after being five feet closer to the planets, Mr. Pfister, as I now call him, was long gone, running a 5.088!
So there I found myself in the stands a little bit later trying to make up for Lost Time and wishing I was still in the game.......
It was a great weekend of racing and we look to be back out testing a new torque converter in a week and then to the Yellow Bullet Nationals at Cecil County Dragway over the Labor Day weekend.
Thanks Everyone!

Mar-Schan Motorsports: The First True Test of 2010
Our 275 Drag Radial / True Street Chevy II At Cecil County
Post Date: 8/9/2010 | Author: Marc Schankweiler

 It's been a long time in coming but it was a good feeling to get up on that starting line with the eyes wide open and focused with a little help from Vegas Fuel Energy Drink!
Doing the burnout, purging the nitrous into the air to clear the lines, bumping the momentary switch 3 or 4 times giving the carburetor a fresh dose of VP fuel and the chemical compound known as N2O and hearing that motor rev effortlessly……..ah what a great sound! I slowly creep forward into the pre-stage beam then precisely grabbing another precious piece of asphalt as I roll into the staging beam ever so that when those 3 amber LED lights flash and the nerve impulse from the brain tells my left thumb to release the trans brake button it's game on in thousandths of a second. The Mickey Thompson 275 drag radials hook, the front end comes up slightly and then that second stage of nitrous comes on pushing me further back in the seat all the while the M & M massaged SB2.2 heads create a low pressure system around the car as they inhale copious quantities of oxygen through the venturies of the QFT carburetors. The yellow shift light on the dash comes on in front of me, the right hand pushes forward the lever to shift into high gear as we are in the heat of the battle hoping we brought enough ammo to keep the enemy visible through the side window behind us long enough to get the win light.
 If all goes well we can do this 3 or 4 times in the same day for a total of 15-20 seconds. It's less time then it takes to pay the lady at the gate my entry fee, but it's what we do and keeps us going. That frozen space of time where I feel in control of the laws of physics and the elements, like a modern day Dr. Jekyll, is priceless.
The past week we tested on 2 days and raced on another. The first test day seemed to be going well but at the end of the day in a matter of a couple of seconds our engine was almost headed back BMS Racing Engines for some new aluminum pistons and maybe worse. While working on our tune up with the second stage of nitrous, the combustion chamber overheated in the number 2 cylinder and it melted the ground strap on the spark plug. The Brodix aluminum bullet ended up with a small flesh wound but nothing was terminal. I decided after a discussion with a fellow racer and doing some reading to change the fuel blend that I have ran for a couple of years to one of less octane.
 I decided to start out Saturday morning with a 330' nitrous pass right off the bat, but the car felt so good and that cone flew by the driver's door so fast I kept the butterflies open on the Quick Fuel Technology carburetors for another 330' and ran it to the 1/8th mile cone.
Clicking it off early netted us a 9.44 pass coasting the last half of the track. That was promising and pulling the NGK Spark Plugs after towing back told us that the tune up wasn't bad and later on Saturday night I made a 1000' pass.
 We tested again on Wednesday night with the new fuel and we made some big strides with new confidence heading into Saturday's Cecil County Streetcar Shootout. I bought tech cards for 2 classes so I could get 2 or 3 extra test runs in a class other than 275 Drag Radial and the extra expense and commitment by my crew paid off in the end. We qualified number 3 out of a 14 car field and lost in the semi final round when the starting line didn't have the teeth we thought it would have and we missed the setup.
 I have some routine maintenance to do this week and then we head into Atco Friday to get a couple of test hits at the track before the Ultimate Outlaw Shootout on Saturday with more power than the week before, determined to be the rolling billboard that all my sponsors count on us to be.

Marschan Motorsports At Super Chevy Maple Grove
Targeting Our Performance Goals For Our Sponsors
 The Mar-Schan Motorsports crew was out at Maple Grove Raceway this past weekend making some test hits during the 30th Annual Super Chevy Show.
There was plenty of heat in the air with temps soaring into the upper 90's but we feel there is just as much heat on us to get our sponsors the recognition they deserve.
We elected to test at the 30th Anniversary Super Chevy Show even though we might not get the amount of runs we could have had elsewhere, the media opportunities outweighed that negative.
We had lots of compliments on the Nova and the way it performed and the execution of the assembly of the car, we were even asked for a group shot of the team by goDragRacing who was with the Northeast Pro Modified Association and remarked on the way the car was represented amongst their members on quality and our teams uniforms.
Dressed to kill we headed out as a family and team to the backdrop of Maple Grove Raceway.
 I decided to start out Saturday morning with a 330' nitrous pass right off the bat, but the car felt so good and that cone flew by the driver's door so fast I kept the butterflies open on the Quick Fuel Technology carburetors for another 330' and ran it to the 1/8th mile cone.
Clicking it off early netted us a 9.44 pass coasting the last half of the track. That was promising and pulling the NGK Spark Plugs after towing back told us that the tune up wasn't bad and later on Saturday night I made a 1000' pass.
After clicking it off, towing back and another plug read later I could see that this new combination was more timing sensitive than the old motor, and some adjustments were going to be required if I was going to thwart the efforts of the gods of molten aluminum. We did manage to run an 8.84 on just 1 stage of nitrous even though we lifted early.
 Since I am not a bracket racer I had a feeling I would end up in the Last Chance Race for 1st and 2nd round losers on Sunday and that's what happened. A few bucks later I was in the lanes for what surely would be my last pass.
As the photographers scrambled over the wall to my side of the track to capture on film a launch that might surprise the casual fan but one the engineers at Mickey Thompson would consider routine, the performance we were hoping for never materialized as the driver, that's me, decided for some reason to disarm the nitrous system just prior to the launch.
My staging routine is different this year due to the single Aeromotive fuel system that we are using as opposed to the previous dual system that fueled the motor and the nitrous sides respectively.
We hope to be out testing on July 31st and then continuing on with the schedule as follows: "See Where We Will Be Racing Here"
Mar-Schan Motorsports would like to thank everyone that has helped us get to where we are this year, but there is no time to rest as we have a busy schedule ahead of us in the coming months.
Thanks to: goDragRacing.org, Mickey Thompson, Alternate Construction Concepts, GRP, Diamond Pistons, Total Seal, Jesel, Brodix, M&M Competition Engines, BMS Racing Engines, Aeromotive, Quick Fuel Technology, Smith Brothers Pushrods, NGK, Pro Toque Converters, PWD Lubricants, VP, Induction Solutions, Moroso
We are getting there as we work out this new combination and look forward to seeing you at the track. Thanks for your support.

We Finally Made It To The Track!
The Bad Blue Chevy II Testing At Maple Grove
 If you are a sponsor or a potential marketing partner and had a chance to read my last emailed update you already know that we finally got the engine in the car and fired up on Friday night July 2nd only to have oil pressure issues. Something just didn't seem right. The pressure was fluctuating when running the motor in some higher RPM ranges and at one point dropped to single digit pressures and even with our PWD Lubricants Brad Penn oil this could be fatal.
 Throughout the week Josh from BMS Racing Engines and myself made calls and sent emails to various manufacturers and other engine builders and in the end it seems like the oil is not being returned to the oil pan for the Moroso Performance Products billet pump to pick it back up. The strange thing was that the pressure was good at idle and when trying to duplicate the results from the initial start up night I couldn't do it. Since I don't have a 1/4 mile track in my garage we towed up to Maple Grove to see what would happen on the track.
Man did it feel good to pull into the water box and scrub the tires again! I hit the line lock button and lit up the Mickey Thompson 275 Drag Radials for the first time, shifted into 2nd gear and looked at the oil pressure gauge pegged at 100psi. That was a good feeling. I made the pass with one eye on the track and the other on my oil pressure gauge. At the end of the track I clicked it off and we towed the car back and pulled the data log which showed us good pressure through the run. Hmmm……..what happened to my problem? Was something stuck in the bypass valve in the pump? Does the oil pump HAVE a bypass valve? Who cares it was working!
 I was going to make one more motor pass, but while waiting for the call we fired up the nitrous bottle heater and checked the flowing fuel pressure on the first stage of nitrous in anticipation of juicing it up a little later. I drove up to the staging lanes and made another pass a few minutes later. This time I decided to drive the car back to the pits after the pass since the run was uneventful, but by the time I got to the time slip booth I had NO OIL PRESSURE! Here we go again.
I killed the power on the SB2 small block and sat there to test the theory that the oil was getting trapped in the top of the motor and not returning quick enough. After a minute or two I hit the start switch and brought the motor back to life and the pressure was back. We might be onto something here. We watched a little bit of racing and then packed it in for the day.
 
 As she sits now a few hours later, the car is in the garage and the intake manifold is off the motor thus exposing the lifter valley with all its engineering glory.
In comparison to my previous block the oil return is minimal and complicated at best and we are considering some careful surgery to help get the life blood of the motor back to the heart for circulation.
 Hopefully it is of the outpatient variety and my insurance covers it and we can get to the Super Chevy Show at Maple Grove Raceway this coming weekend July 16-18 to compete in the Shoebox Shootout.
We are getting there as we work out this new combination and look forward to seeing you at the track. Thanks for your support.

SCHANKWEILER WINS "TRUE STREET RACE WRAPS"
Written by Ron Ward / Behind the Lens: The FSC Staff
Clothing For Fast People.com NMCA Milan
Blue is the Color of the Day
"I miscalculated his potential during testing." Marc Schankweiler
Detroit is the undisputed home of American automotive muscle and it is just a short drive from beautiful Milan Dragway. A great bunch of racers gathered for NMCA's fastest growing class, Tremec True Street, to flex some of those American muscles and vie for the title of King of Michigan.
The scenic area around Milan, Michigan was the backdrop for the mandatory True Street cruise and it offered up a host of challenges for the competitors. Said Marc Schankweiler, "We had a really good time. It was actually a 32-mile cruise with a lot to deal with. There were construction zones with flagmen, rutted roads, loose gravel, train tracks and a stretch of highway where I was doing 60 miles per hour at 3200 rpm and I was hoping the valve train would hold up."
 Mt. Pleasant, Michigan's Mark Willis drove his '92 Mustang on the cruise and added, "It (the cruise) could have been better, but it wasn't the NMCA's fault; there was road construction. My car stayed at about 200 degrees, but got up to 210 once." After beating themselves half to death on the toughest cruise of the season, 26 drivers made their way to the staging lanes to cool off a bit before making three back-to-back passes. Schankweiler was having issues with his immaculate 1966 Chevy II and held his fingers crossed as he cranked the SB2-headed small block. "I was having problems with the car starting.
During testing, it acted just like the battery was dead and we found out later it was the starter. When we got back from the cruise, I shut off the car to let it cool down and I was worried it wouldn't restart. Thankfully, it started up, but I didn't shut it off between rounds. It just ran for 17 minutes," said Schankweiler.
Those 17 minutes proved to be worth letting the car run that long. As the tire smoke started rolling out of the burnout box for round one, it was apparent there were some real players in the house. Schankweiler's Deuce flashed an 8.809 up on the scoreboard, Willis' Fox-body knocked down a 9.100, Steve Critchlow mustered up a 9.478 with his familiar Mustang and Ben Nau had his 1972 AMC Gremlin set on kill as he hiked the front tires way up in the air and blasted to a 9.383.
