Rain Cuts Short May Race at AMP

Rain was the big winner this weekend at Atoka Motorsports Park’s regular May point series event. An unforeseen Oklahoma rain shower dumped a ton of rain causing the race to be cancelled after the Trophy classes were completed. Tim Feuerhelm not only won the Pro 1 Cars trophy class, but he also ran his Personal Best ET with a 3.56 with his Motorcycle-powered Dragster. The Martin Racing father-son team swept the Pro 1 Quads class as James Martin put away his son and 2012 MASD class champion Luke in the final round. A decision on a points makeup for this event will be announced at a later date. Check the Results page for trophy class results from this event. Up next for AMP is the 15th Annual Heartland Nationals Memorial Day Weekend April 24-26.

Kimbley Continues Winning Ways in April

Randy Kimbley once again doubled up at Atoka Motorsports Park as he took both the Pro 1 & Pro 3 Quads Money class victories on Saturday night. Randy, who won the Pro 2 & 3 Quads championships in 2012, moved forward in the points hunt with the double victories. Another double winner on the night was David Collins as he won both the Money & Trophy classes in Pro 2 Cars. The Pro 1 Cars class was exciting with Amie Wilson taking the win in the Money class while Kenny Kapple took home the hardware in the Trophy class. Check the Results page for full results from this event, and the Points page for current AMP points. The next race will be on May 11 at AMP.

Lovelace Leads Winners at 2013 AMP Season Opener

The 2013 Atoka Motorsports Park season kicked off on March 9. Unfortunately, weather didn't allow the full event to run to completion as rains cancelled action as the Money classes began, but the Trophy classes were run to completion & will count for points. 2012 AMP Pro 1 Quads Champion Rick Lovelace started off the new season on the winning side of things as he swept both the Pro 1 & 2 Quads categories. He certainly has a leg up on the competition with those early season wins. In the Pro 1 Cars class, last year's class runner-up Gage Moore proved he's serious about improving one spot this year as he defeated last year's champion Tim Feuerhelm in Round One then went on to win the class over the always tough Les Steelmon. Defending Pro 2 Cars champion David Collins continued his domination of the class by winning the first race of 2013 with his Dragster. The next event at AMP will be on April 13. Other notes announced at the race are that both the Heartland Nationals & Fall Fest events will also count for AMP track points, while the July race will be an AMP double track points event.

2012 Fall Fest Beats Mother Nature & Puts On Show

The 2012 Fall Fest at Atoka Motorsports Park was a race within the overall race. On this weekend, the overall race was the one to beat Mother Nature. With rain and storms on the way for late Saturday, an expedited schedule was put in place to finish up not only the Mid-America Sand Drag Series (MASD) classes, but also the AMP Point Series categories. Sensational racing action was the result throughout the weekend. Tonkawa, OK's Rod Trower made history at AMP as he fulfilled a long time goal of setting the track record with his "Thunder" Top Alcohol Dragster with an astounding 2.618 seconds to eclipse the 2.633 record set by California's Gary Mink in May of 2011. The other half of the Trower Racing team, Rod's wife Dee made it to the Top Eliminator final round, where she would place 2nd to Independence, MO's Jeff Sieg, who also was the MASD TE class champion for 2012. Texas racer Glenn Swanner took his first ever Pro 1 Cars class victory on Saturday, with his fellow Texas competitor John Acker winning the MASD class championship & Tim Feuerhelm taking the track championship. Randy Kimbley not only won the Pro 1 Quads category on Saturday, but he also won the Pro 2 & Pro 3 Quads classes for a rare three peat on one day. Texas racer Luke Martin's semi-final finish wrapped up the MASD Pro 1 Quads title while Rick Lovelace was the AMP Pro 1 Quads champion. Kimbley's wins in the Pro 2 & 3 Quads classes made him a multi-class track champion while David Collins (Pro 2 Cars) and Chloe Cooper (Pro 4 Quads) were also crowned track points winners on this night.

AMP Announces New Rules For 2012

Atoka Motorsports Park has announced a few rules additions for the 2012 race season. These can also be seen on the Rules page of this web site.

New Rules for 2012
- Once Eliminations begin, racers must finish eliminations with the same vehicle they started. There will be no switching of vehicles during eliminations allowed.
- Once racers have turned on the bottom stage light, the starter has the right to start the tree. If a racer backs out of the beam once the starter has activated the tree, they will receive a red light.
- After time trials & trophy class, racers are required to turn in their dial-ins immediately. Once the sheets go to the tower, you are late & will not have a dial-in.
- Once a racer is the next pair to race, they cannot change their dial-in for that pass.

Heartland Nationals 2011 Another Great Success

The 13th Annual Heartland Nationals at Atoka Motorsports Park continued on the tradition with a great racer & spectator turnout. Gary Mink, from Fresno, CA, set a new track record at AMP with a 2.633 bettering the previous record of Jeff Janoe with a 2.647. Mink would go on and Scott Carroll in the Top Alcohol final where they put on an awesome show with Gary taking a 2.70 to 2.74 decision by just .016 at the stripe. The Top Eliminator guys had to one up that one as Texas’ Courtney Stidham made it back-to-back Heartland Nationals wins in a thrilling final round race against Tim Martin decided by just .007 at the stripe. Sunday’s Pro Bracket classes also saw some great battles as Tim Feuerhelm (Pro 1 Cars), Kirk Whitlow (Pro 1 Quads), and Ashley Ralston (Pro 2 Cars) emerged victorious.
