Surrey In A Hurry is proud to sponsor the RJ Enterprises / VP Fuels Canada West Doorslammer event at the Eagle Motorplex on July 12 and 13th, 2008.

It feels good to make a deposit into the karma bank every once in a while…

A certain un-named lazy bastard has been neglecting his duties at Surrey in A Hurry sunning himself on the beaches of Hawaii. In that time, it seems a stockpile of news has been building up.  And while all the details aren’t in, the highlight reel must include Surrey In A Hurry’s own Zak Clarke’s recent string of luck.

In back to back weekends, Zak and the Beretta have gathered up an impressive three consecutive wins and a runner up.

A genuine heartfelt thanks goes out to Martin and Cindy Dykstra for saving my bacon at the Eagle Motorplex.

For those that don’t know, I have a tendancy to forget to pack something at just about every chance I get. Sometimes it’s little stuff like a toothbrush; othertimes it’s my entire duffle bag of clothes.

This time, at the Lordco Auto Parts NHRA National Open Double Header, I packed everything I needed… except my sleeping bag. And while it was the end of May / begining of June, it still gets damn cold there at night.

Congrats go out to Surrey in A Hurry’s Zak Clarke! The guy just ran two classes at the much delayed 2007 National Dragster Challenge race at Mission Raceway Park and won them both!

Details are still coming in, but we know this: Zak took the win in Super Pro for the  ‘Digger Challenge, and he won Door Dinger a Canada West Doorslammer race held over from last year. I hate to jinx it by saying this, but that makes his 17th consecutive undefeated round in Door Slammer!

Man… if that’s not enough to get me off my ass and finally post something, I don’t what is. Great job Zak!

Oh yeah… Team Surrey In A Hurry will be in Las Vegas, NV, this week at the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals ! Unlike last year though, we’re not just makingt the trip to spectate… this time we’re actually racing! Zak’s gonna take a crack at SuperGas — National Event style!

A couple of unnamed speed demons well qualified drivers have already transported Zak’s Berlinetta Beretta to Vegas in world record time a safe and sane manor. Zak and Tony will fly in like rock stars and meet up on Wednesday night.

Stay tuned for more details as they come in!

UPDATE! OK… so Zak and Tony made it to the airport… Three hours early to try and catch the first class upgrade. Wouldn’t you know it? There was one seat left. So much for flying in like rock stars…

It’s 5:52PM, the booze here sucks and we have over two hours to kill until the plane leaves. But let me tell you about the Snake Nuts! More details as we get bored…

UPDATE! Viva Las Vegas! Hold on to your valuables, ’cause Surrey In A Hurry has taken over Sin City.

We’re at ‘The Strip’ and Zak’s made a couple of time hits. The Beretta is running good for zero data. The sun is out in full force and this place runs cars through in a hurry! Over 500 cars in just 4 hours! The track must be way shorter here or something… Stay tuned!

UPDATE! 10am — Yeah! Round one is in the bag and we’re still in. Congrats Zak! Now all we have to do is wait around all day until SuperGas comes around again for the day…

UPDATE! 9:30pm… a mere almost 12 hours later… Finally… no more racing to get in the way of shakin’ it up in Las Vegas! Adios!

UPDATE! 6:00pm Friday: Bill & Bill from Steve Schmidt Racing Engines just had us in stitches for the last couple of hours. ‘Midget’ and ‘Water skis’ were awesome!

UPDATE! 9:20pm Friday… just finished up at ‘The Strip’ and on a whim we hacked a right into Las Vegas Motor Speedway. A (welched on…) big bet to entice ‘Lurch’ to take the Surrey Limo for a lap around the famous oval somehow turned into an invitation to hang out. Are they serious? We broke in and they asked us to stay? The cops must be on the way…

‘Trailer’ over and out.

UPDATE! Seriously… I don’t know how this happened, but Zak, Joe, Ron and I just blasted a lap around Las Vegas Motor Speedway… in the Surrey Limo. This was just a few a few minutes after I was encourged to slither into an Indy car at all costs for a 180mph lap around the place.. Apparently they don’t have a functioning 4XL machine around. For all you non-believers, there’s VIDEO bee-atch! We’re having a fricken’ riot…

VIDEO UPDATE: Makin’ a lap in the Surrey Limo!
