“When I think of the most memorable moments in motorsports as a fan, I look to the NHRA Jegs All-Stars and how it has brought together some of the best racers in the world to the same track, at the same time, to see who really is the best at that moment in time. That’s what we want to do with Abruzzi Racing Transmissions All-Star Race for the racers in our region and series, we want to bring together the top 16 racers and see who emerges on Top of the Mountain!” Stated Series Director Andrew Stirk.

The Stefko Racing Engines “ROUND THAT COUNTS” will take place every race day of a DSE Sportsman Series event during the final time trial session for all non-qualifying categories. Racers will be looking to nail down the best reaction in their class during that session to win the opportunity to receive the first Round bye run should there be an un-even number of cars in the class.

Super Gas again will also dawn the Stefko Racing Engines name, as this category returns for its 3rd season as an exhibition class within the DSE Sportsman Racing Series. The 9.90 Index racers will have three race dates and two opportunities at coveted NHRA Hardware in 2014 as they compete at both the July 26-27 NHRA Provincial Championships (A points earning event for the Western New York Super Rod Association) as well as a single day event on Saturday September 13th for an NHRA Wally during the National Dragster Challenge race.

John Stekfo and Stefko racing engines are also extremely adept at building NHRA/IHRA class legal motors from Stock/Super Stock combos to the wildly radical Super Street/Gas/Comp throttle stop engines.
