Procomp Electronics | Motorsport – Walker Locked & Loaded for PSCA Pro Street Championship Run

LAS VEGAS, NV - After another stellar season that has already seen them lock up their second consecutive West Coast Hot Rod Association championship, Pro Street standout Randy Walker and the Walker Racing Group are locked and loaded for a run at the Pacific Street Car Association championship.

Heading into the final races of 2010, Walker and his team have been thrashing to improve on their already-potent 1974 El Camino, making multiple chassis and tune-up changes as well as pulling even more weight off the big El-Co, and even adding a new-look body wrap.

This weekend’s PSCA Accufab West Coast Shootout at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the final race at the famed Las Vegas track before the event everyone in heads-up doorslammer racing has their eyes on: the PSCA Street Car Super Nationals VI.

“This is our last chance to get some data for this track with our new setup before the big race,” Randy said. “We’re completely focused on performing up to our potential this weekend, but we’re also looking ahead to the Super Nationals. It’s such a huge race, and it’s something I want to win before my career is over.”

With a fresh new wrap on the El Camino showcasing sponsors Procomp Motorsports and RC Construction Services, the team plans on not only running well, but looking good in the process.

“We’ve gone back to our ‘bad in black’ look this time,” Walker continued. “Our sponsors love it, and we’re actually going to be featured in Procomp’s booth at SEMA as well as their upcoming grand opening show in October. We couldn’t be more excited about everything that’s going on to wrap up 2010.”

Along with that excitement comes the pressure to perform, beginning this weekend. There is no room for error with so few races left.

If their performance over the past three seasons is any indication, Walker and crew are up for the challenge.

After going on a championship winning spree in 2009, for the Walker Racing Group to set out in anticipation of an even better 2010 season could be considered nearly impossible. However, thus far in 2010 the team looks to be on the same torrid pace.

Across both Pacific Street Car Association and West Coast Hot Rod Association Pro Street competition this season, Randy Walker and his crew have put their unmistakable nitrous-assisted ’74 El Camino in four final rounds, taking three consecutive wins in those finals and setting career bests in elapsed time and speed.

Walker’s first victory of the season came at the WCHRA Spring Nationals at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, CA in March, where, ironically, he won from the bump spot after battling winter rust in qualifying. Putting together a string of 6.40s and taking advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves, Walker overcame the odds and worked his way to winner’s circle.

“That was our last race with the 762 cubic inch engine we’ve run for several seasons,” said the Palm Desert, CA custom auto shop owner. “We got lucky here and there, but you have to have an occasional break to snag a win at this level. With our new engine on the way, we felt we would be stepping up and would be able to race our way to a few more wins.”

Once their new bullet hit the track, that’s exactly what they did. After posting the career-best 6.16 at nearly 225 MPH, which are both PSCA Pro Street nitrous records, at the PSCA RC Construction Services California Nationals at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA, the team headed back to Bakersfield for the WCHRA Summer Nationals. There they would qualify number three with a 6.28 and work their way through Scott Oksas and Jay Diedrich before meeting up with number one qualifier Rod Burbage in the finals. Burbage had been the class of the field all day, running low 6-teens on his way to the final round. Walker wasn’t far behind with a 6.20s pace, but had his work cut out for him in the finals.

Switching back to PSCA competition, the Walker team’s next race would be the Summer Nationals at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Qualifying fifth with an off-pace 6.567, Walker again struggled in qualifying but found a way to win when it came time for eliminations. Making his way through the field, Walker would meet up with perennial front runner and pole sitter Clint Hairston and his turbocharged GTO in the final round. After a between-round thrash to repair oil ring problems was cut short, the team loaded up and headed to the lanes with an engine they knew would run, but would puff a large amount of smoke until the car left the line.

A 5.88 and 223.36 MPH flashed on the scoreboard, as did the win light. Walker’s car made it to the finish under full power, while Hairston ran into problems in the other lane. Due to the timing system interference, video reviews were used and clearly showed Walker and Hairston leaving the line at virtually the same time, with Walker crossing the finish line first. Based on these reviews, the PSCA management awarded the event win to Walker but disallowed the elapsed time, a decision that was agreed upon as the correct one by everyone involved at the completion of the event.

With the controversial win behind them and the PSCA taking the summer off before returning to action in September, the Walker Racing Group is looking ahead to their next race, the WCHRA Nationals at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield on July 16 & 17. As the current WCHRA points leader, they’ve gotten a nice start to repeating as Pro Street champs but know they’ve got their work cut out for them.

“We’ve picked up a lot in E.T., but we’d like to match that with some of our old consistency,” Walker admits. “That’s our main goal right now. If we can do that, hopefully we can stay on top in WCHRA points and work our way back up the PSCA charts after missing the first two races. We’ve had an awesome start and we’re looking forward to what the rest of 2010 has in store.”
