This Friday and Saturday, Titan motorsports will be participating in the ADRL Summer Drags VI in Martin Michigan, looking to extend our “3 Seconds of Fame” throughout the rest of the season. We have been running consistently in the 3 second range for our last two races, and look to hurt a few more V8 egos with some more quick passes and maybe even snatch up another win. We have a few left over tickets to the race hanging around the shop, so if anyone is interested, stop by or shoot me an email at JonS@titanmotorsports.com and I’ll hook you up. Wanna watch 186 cubic inches beat up on the big boys? Join us in Martin. We’ll see you there!
After being inducted into the Mickey Thompson 3 Second Club in April after the Georgia Drags VI, Team Titan was looking to show the world that it wasn’t a fluke or isolated incident. After a little testing and tweaking, The Crew set out to Virginia Motorsports Park for the ADRL U.S .Drags III to continue the consistently low E.T.s and hopefully nail another 3 second pass or two.
On Friday’s qualifiers, Gary White and the Scion got to work quickly posting a solid 4.008@186.23mph and setting the pace for the rest of the competitors with the #1 qualifying position. In the second round of qualifying, Gary ran a slightly more conservative run and shut down early, yet still posted a respectable 4.053 Elapsed Time. During the third round The Scion had a breakage in the burn out box but the problem was quickly repaired in time for the final qualifying session, posting a career best 3.961@186.51mph, good enough for the 2nd qualifying position.
On Saturday’s first round of eliminations, Gary laid down another 3 second run, running a 3.999@185.51 mph to edge out competitor Dwayne Wolfe. In the second round the Titan Scion continued its consistency running a 4.003@186.38mph, good enough to advance past David Hance to the third round. In round three, Gary found himself up against the always competitive Jeff Naiser. Naiser threw down a quick 4.078, but it was Gary who advanced, posting another career best with a 3.956@187.05mph. In the fourth and final round Gary and the Titan Scion found themselves up against another member of the 3 second club, Todd Moyer. Moyer had edged out Gary and the Scion during the finals in Valdosta, so the tensions were high as Titan looked to strike back. Todd was looking good, posting a fast 4.030@194.55mph, but in the end it was Gary claiming the win with his best time yet, an impressive 3.952@186.74mph!
This was a great weekend for Titan and another consistent showing for The Team, posting the quickest E.T. every round of eliminations. The win this weekend has propelled Gary White to the #1 points position for the season. With the Scion running strong, Gary White at the wheel and 3’s to boot, look for Titan Motorsports to continue making noise in the upcoming ADRL races. We’ll see you at the races!
This weekend The Titan Race Team will be making its way up to Virginia for the ADRL Speedtech U.S. Drags III at Virginia Motorsports Park. This weekend we are hoping for another successful showing, and hope to chip off a few tenths off our previous 3 second pass. If you can’t make the race, ADRL has you covered. Check out ADRL’s web page for their live audio broadcast of qualifying and eliminations runs.
Titan Motorsports will be racing in the ADRL Georgia Drags this weekend at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Cecil Georgia.

This weekend Team Titan, with the XTF Scion and XPS Cobalt, made the trip out to Texas to run the Dragpalooza VI at Houston Raceway Park.
After a couple of good qualifying passes on Friday night, the weather rolled in Saturday just as Pro Extreme was tacking to the track to begin qualifying. The wind picked up, temperatures dropped, and the rain began to fall. The race had to be called off.
Later, American Drag Racing League (ADRL) President and CEO Kenny Nowling made the announcement to reschedule the race and the creation of a brand-new, double-header event in response to the rainout of the ADRL’s season-opener.
The ADRL and Team Titan will return July 23-24, to Houston Raceway Park (HRP), where Dragpalooza VI will be completed in its entirety that Friday, with an all-new, yet-to-be-named ADRL national event now scheduled for the same weekend.
Although the race was canceled, we did manage to get some good qualifying passes in. Check them out:
Titan Motorsports has officially teamed up with XS Power Batteries. Team Titan will be running XS Power Batteries on both the XTF Scion and the XPS Cobalt. XS Power is a perfect fit for Titan. The weight savings, superior technology, and microprocessor controlled voltage will all help give Titan the extra advantage needed to stay competitive in the 2010 season in ADRL. All the batteries used in testing have all performed flawlessly and the quality is exactly what was expected from a company like XS Power.
Join us for the ADRL season opener on March 19-20th at Houston Raceway Park. Come see what the XS Powered Titan cars can do. We’ll see you at the races!
The ADRL season is just around the corner, and as you know, we have been testing and getting the cars ready for the 2010 season. Here is the new ADRL promotional video which features a few cameos from Team Titan throughout. For all of those who wonder why we race in the ADRL, this pretty much sums it up:
For the 2010 season Titan Motorsports will be racing two cars. Titan has run Scions and Celicas alongside one another in the past, but in 2010 the Team will be changing it up a bit, bringing a 1-2 punch to the ADRL series by racing in two separate classes. Team Titan will race in Extreme Pro Stock as well as Extreme 10.5. Long time team member Gary White will pilot the 10.5″ car while Mark Martino will join the team in Pro Stock.
The Titan Renegade is back and so is the race team. The guys have been putting the finishing touches on the Copper Supra in preparation for the upcoming NSCRA event (some of you may have been following our coverage). Shortly after the Supra is finished, they will be back to work on the Scion getting it ready for another action packed season of ADRL racing. Our last two seasons have been very successful but we fell short in the final events. This coming season we look to get back in the saddle and grab hold of what slipped through our finger tips last year.
