WFO Wins the 2006 PSCA Pro Street Championship
By Deborah Woodard

(11-11-2006) PHOENIX, AZ - The WFO MotorSport/Dyno-Flo/SI-Valves  
Chevrolet Cavalier of Steve Paulauskis, headed by crew chief Kelly  
Bluebaugh of WFO Racing and Machine, took the west coast’s Pacific  
Street Car Association 2006 Pro Street season championship at  
California Speedway in Fontana this past weekend, November 3-5, 2006.  
Team WFO dethroned reigning three-time champion Ed Thornton and his  
famous turbo-powered ‘57 Chevy by 200 points.

2006 has been a fantastic first year for Paulauskis and Bluebaugh,  
who upped the ante and took the PSCA in a new direction, being the  
first and only PSCA Pro Street regular to break into the 6.40 range.  
Paulauskis and the WFO team also qualified in the number one position  
at nearly every PSCA event this season.

The season finale started off with a bang as Paulauskis set the crowd  
on fire with an unprecedented 6.442 @ 219.76 bye run in the first  
round of eliminations. The WFO MotorSport/Dyno-Flo/SI-Valves  
Chevrolet Cavalier continued to charge hard, running a bracket style  
string of 6.44’s and 6.46’s at just under 220 mph throughout  
eliminations. Paulauskis advanced all the way to the finals, where he  
faced the supercharged ‘57 Chevy Pro Mod of veteran driver John  
Scialpi. Scialpi was visiting the PSCA in preparation for the  
upcoming Street Car Super Nationals II. Every racer and fan crowded  
the stands, fence line, and staging area to see if Pro Street could  
match up to Pro Mod in what proved to be the most thrilling match up  
of the year. Paulauskis and the WFO team stepped up to the challenge,  
taking Scialpi and his Redline Oil ‘57 Chevy out on a stunning hole- 
shot that earned the win by .0083 with a 6.463 @ 218.27 to a quicker  
but losing 6.437 @ 219.29. Screams rang out from the crowd as Pro  
Street had taken Pro Mod, proving that the future may hold a closing  
gap in performance between the two classes. Scialpi’s 6.437 is the  
quickest ET ever run in the PSCA and breaks the long-standing record  
of 6.513 held by Thornton and the FAST Motorsports/Extreme Speed  
team, set in November of 2004.

Paulauskis and the WFO team will be heading to the Street Car Super  
Nationals II in Las Vegas November 16th-19th. There they will be  
joined by Pro Mod legend Charles Carpenter, who will be tuning the  
engine on the WFO MotorSport/Dyno-Flo/SI-Valves Chevrolet Cavalier.  
Paulauskis and Team WFO have high hopes for this race after recently  
qualifying in the ninth position and making the quarterfinals at this  
year’s Real World Street Nationals in Orlando, FL on their first  
appearance at the huge event. Team WFO is currently gearing up for  
the challenge to again meet some of the nation’s top Pro Street  
contenders, which will officially round out the 2006 racing season  
for the team.
