MOHLER MOTORSPORTS TO DEBUT AT MOROSO MOTORSPORTS PARK
Center Line, Mich. - For Scott Mohler, the 2005 racing season will be one
filled with "firsts."
He'll make his debut with a new NHRA Summit Racing Sport Compact Drag Racing
team that came together late in 2004, and they'll be facing all of the first
race jitters that come with the first event of the season. But as Mohler pulls
up to the line at Moroso Motorsports Park for qualifying in the All Motor
division, it'll be business as usual.
"Even though our team came together late last year, we've taken all the
necessary steps to ensure we're ready for Moroso," Mohler said. "We're going to
test a day early in Florida this week, and the results we've seen from the dyno
look great. The horsepower is definitely there. We'll have a good shot at
winning this weekend."
Mohler will have the momentum of a stellar 2004 season to work with as racing
action begins this weekend: he was the All Motor division runner-up last
year. He posted three wins last season for Mopar and Darrell Cox Racing, tying for
the most wins on the circuit. Mohler also racked up six final round
appearances and set the division MPH record.
The former NHRA All Motor champion believes there will be a brief adjustment
period for his team, but he's confident they're ready to contend for the
title.
"We're using a setup that has been successful for us in the past, and we've
made adjustments to platforms we've used from years past," Mohler said. "There
may be an adjustment period as we all find our nitch, but it will be very
minimal. We've hired Jim Justice of Justice Racing Engines to prepare our motors,
and we're confident that we'll perform well in this first event - which is the
most important race of the season."
Mohler will campaign his Mopar SRT4 Dodge Neon in the All Motor Division of
the NHRA Summit Racing Sport Compact Drag Racing Series. The car is owned by
Mohler Motorsports, which is comprised of Mohler's parents, David and Deborah
Mohler.
