May/June 2009: Vincent will be heading up to Bakersfield for the June 20-21 ANRA Spring race at Famoso. The team is looking to make several full passes to acquire additional vehicle development data. Thanks to Wade Hicks and David Doyel (Doyel Construction) for their help. Updates have been made to the Pontiac engine with special attention to the oil system. Modifications to the oil pan include added capacity with custom baffling to better control oil movement during acceleration, as well as deceleration.
March/April 2009: The team made a couple of successful 330-foot test passes - mostly to acquire 60-foot data on the new clutch - at Barona Dragstrip on April 19th. Click the links for the short videos: First Pass, Second Pass.
Mayeda Motorsports has located a three-speed Lenco transmission for the blown Pontiac altered. The car will now feature a CrowerGlide three-disc clutch. While the team is awaiting final certifications from Bob at East West Engineering, a custom Pontiac flywheel is being machined. This has limited the team's ability to make test passes, but the new transmission set up will make the car infinitely more reliable in our development program to eventually run nitromethane.
January/February 2009: Due to increasing article writing and media relations requests, Vincent has started a new division of Mayeda Motorsports - Mayeda Strategic Communications. Mayeda Strategic Communications leverages Vincent's 16 years of marketing communications experience in providing copy writing, media/analyst relations and marcom planning and program implementation services - helping companies reach their marketing and business objectives.
November/December 2008: Happy Holidays! Vincent drove the AA/Fuel Altered in the ANRA Finals at Famoso, but the car experienced a clutch failure during the second round of qualifying. The team is regrouping and will be targeting some test and tune sessions soon
September/October 2008: Vincent will begin campaigning the Taylor-Mayeda AA/Fuel Altered - soon to be Nostalgia Funny Car - in October with the ANRA Finals in Bakersfield as a target. Two blown Pontiac engines are in final assembly. Both Pontiac engines feature our custom blower intake manifolds. Check back soon for more updates.
