The 2006 West Coast Pro Mod Champion Joe Delehay and his PM Motorsports team ventured the hour and forty minuete drive north to Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta for the IHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals.

The first round of qualifying on friday afternoon saw Joe drive his 1968 Camaro Z-28 to #11 spot with a 6.333 @ 225.41 mph. "The first round of qualifying gave us a good idea of what the track conditions were and what the car likes" said Crew Chief Ken Eisler.

In the second round of qualifying friday night the PM Motorsports Camaro had a nice clean pass good for the #12 spot with a 6.299 @ 225.37 mph.

Saturday afternoon saw two more qualifying rounds, in the third round of qualifying Delehay drove the Camaro to an impressive 6.222 @ 228.31 mph which put the PM Motorsports team in the #8 position. "We are still learning what this new car like and doesnt" said Delehay, "We have under 30 passes on the car so far this season, most drivers get that if not more in pre-season testing".

Saturday nights fourth round of qualifying saw amazing performance numbers, unfortunitly for the PM Motorsports team they couldnt capitalize on the amazing track conditions at Castrol Raceway. The team had some minor issues with the car that slowed it down to a 6.274 @ 227.65 mph. After qualifying was complete Delehay was in the #11 spot and was paired to race Scott Cannon in the first round of eliminations. "We are very hapy with our qualifing performance" said Delehay, "If it wasnt for our minor problem in the last round the car would of ran a low teen in the great conditions tonight"

In the first round of elimintions the track was as close to perfect as possible as the crew at Castrol Raceway did an amazing job prepping the surface this weekend. Delehay knew he would have to cut a better light than Cannon and run his quickest of the weekend if Cannon didnt have issues as Scott Cannon qualified in the #3 position with a 6.128 @ 233 mph.

Delehay cut his best light of the weekend (rt: .467) against Cannon (rt: .528) but the team underestimated the amazing track surface and the car shook the tires just before the 60 ft marker which gave Cannon the win. "We had the holeshot against Cannon and we blew it" said Crew Chief Ken Eisler. "Instead of leaving the track at 5200 rpm like we did, we should of left around 6000 rpm". If the car didnt shake Delehay would of had to run a 6.18 or better to defeat Cannons 6.126. "If we would of reconized how good the conditions really were we would of ran about a 6.14 if not quicker" said Delehay.

Although the team exited eliminations early they are still happy with their overal performance as they are using every pass they make as their testing seasons for next year. "We still have old technology in the car with an older BAE motor and an old supercharger as out new supercharger set up is not complete yet to run on our new BAE6 motor" said Delehay.

The PM Motorsports team was picked the Event Best Appearing Car for the IHRA race weekend and was awarded a event award on sunday morning. "SD Enterprises did an amazing job painting the car" said Delehay. "And with the paint scheme designing by Stu at ID Motorsport Designs this car is truely amazing as pictures just dont do it justice".

The PM Motorsports team is currently preparing for their next event this weekend July 21-22 at Race City Motorsports Park in the teams Hometown of Calgary, Alberta. This is the third event of the West Coast Pro Mod Association 2007 schedule.
