The 25th Pan American nationals are done and dusted and what a weekend of racing! This was the first time that Billet By PAC had been to Atco Dragway, both as a vendor and also represented throughout various classes of racing. We had a strong showing of customers including the El Tenaz RX7, Christopher RX7, Killer Rush Starlet, Hulk Racing RX7, La Paquena Turbo Starlet, Oneill Racing RX7, Erick Turbo 20B RX7, Rachaely Zoe starlet and the Perez Racing Street FD RX7.
There was some tough competition and the event was run with a DYO format, which made for some exciting racing and the teams needed to really compete til the very end. The weekend finished with 3 of our teams in the Winner's Circle and a string of PBs from different cars.
We had an all Billet by PAC final in the Quick 16 class, with El Tenaz up against La Paquena Turbo. El Tenaz took the winners cheque home and the little starlet took runner up. Both cars were on debut with their new engine setups and the results were amazing.
Ricky Rush continued his great run with yet another new PB and breaking into the 6's with a 6.95@201mph and in the heat of the day.
Another impressive debut was the Perez Racing FD RX7, this beautiful street car ran a string of PBs and finished with an 8.69@165.58 in the finals and took home the winners trophy as a bonus.

On a personal note, I would like to thank everyone that helped us get to Atco this year. It isn't an easy task to organise all of this from Australia, but we are truly blessed to have so many people that are willing to help and we are truly thankful, we really couldn't do it without you!!!
I would like to make a special mention to Lenny, Caitlin and the entire Atco Dragway team who worked tirelessly over the weekend and who showed us so much support in coming to this event, thank you for your hospitality and I hope we can bring our race team to this iconic event one day!
