It took sixty events to accomplish but veteran campaigner Ray Arthur opened the 2010 season of the Street Car Shootout Series at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois, in the best possible fashion. After no less than eleven runners-up since his first final-round appearance on May 8th, 2007, the owner of R&R Towing in Edwardsville, Illinois, finally ended his almost agonizing quest for a SCSS victory by wheeling his renowned “Suspicion” 1967 Camaro into the winner’s circle for the first time.
To make the event even more special, John Brawley drove Arthur’s equally well-known “S-10 Revenge”p Chevy pickup to the first Super Truck Showdown trophy of the new year to earn a rare team “double”. While both qualified for the Super Sixteen field, (Brawley was the only truck pilot among the top sixteen qualifiers), Arthur made more history as one of only ten drivers to have ever won an SCSS event from an alternate position, becoming the first to do it since Scott Compton’s upset victory on October 14th, 2008. Ray posted another amazing statistic; by qualifying for the Super Sixteen field, he earned his sixty-first “Fastest Street Qualifier” decal to enter a three-way tie with class superstars Tim “Moose” Mallicoat and Tony Huff as the drivers who have qualified for the most SCSS events. By the end of the next event, Arthur could be the all-time qualifying leader of the seven year-old Street Car Shootout Series!
Ray Arthur has not been without wins on Tuesday nights at GIR. At the wheel of his S-10 pickup, he has earned four wins in five final rounds in Super Truck Showdown competition and Brawley has contributed another five wins in eleven finals for the team. Despite battling through forty elimination rounds in his career, however, Ray’s beloved red Camaro had fallen twice in final rounds to Huff and an incredible nine times in the championship round to the all-time king of the series, Mallicoat. In 2010, Ray’s drought finally ended.
The new season brought everything from a new marketing partner to a freshly-ground racing surface. The Street Car Shootout Series is now part of the NHRA Street Legal Drags presented by the American Automobile Association with both the NHRA and the AAA combining their talents to help promote the Tuesday night GIR program both regionally and nationally. The fabled Gateway quarter-mile had been resurfaced over the winter from the end of the concrete launch pads to the end of the shutdown area and had only recently been coated with a new NHRA-approved sealer which will facilitate quicker drying after rain storms while still retaining excellent adhesion. In the department of traction, the opening night of SCSS competition was chosen to test a brand-new traction compound created by VP Racing Fuels; the entire surface was sprayed with the “new glue” prior to and during the event with VP representatives on hand to supervise the test. As icing on the cake, fans and racers were greeted by sunny skies and seventy-degree weather with one of the lowest humidity readings in SCSS history, (24%!), creating a corrected elevation of 1126 feet above sea level when qualifying began which dropped to a mere forty-nine feet during the final rounds!
While the racing surface was as smooth as glass, the season-opener itself was a bit bumpy. No less than five major “oil downs” and multiple broken drivetrains, (due, in part, to what several racers called the “hardest-hooking starting line ever”), slowed the pace of the event. However, the gorgeous weather made the delays seem a bit more tolerable and full qualifying sessions were eventually completed without any schedule revisions. In the end, new machines, new teams and new drivers made for an interesting event in which fully fifty percent of the competitors battling in the final rounds were first-time finalists!
