New Career Best Run!

Ed Burnley Takes the Win at the Mountain Motor Nationals

CATONSVILLE, MD (May 15, 2012)

After making it to the track just in time to make one final qualifying session, Ed laid down a 6.14 at 227mph to sneak into the number 3 qualifying spot for the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mods show at Maryland International Raceway this past Saturday. In the first round of eliminations, Ed ran his career best elapsed time of 6.03 at 230 mph. This was the only round that he actually matched up against someone because of parts failures for Matt Deitsch in the semi-finals and Fredy Scriba in the finals. "A win is a win and we will take them any way we can get them" said Ed Burnley who also won the Superchargers Showdown race his last time at MIR last fall. "We were going to give the track record (5.926 held by Pat Musi) a run for its money in the final round but we shook the tires a bit at the 1-2 gear change. There is always the race in the fall to try that again" said Bobby Holtzner. The next race up for Ed Burnley will be ADRL Gateway Drags in Madison, Illinois June 1-2.
