THE SCOTT RAY 1953 CORVETTE
NHRA PRO/MODIFIED





4/02/08 Scott Ray "Time to step it up" - Heading into the 3rd race of the JEGS Pro Mod series at Atlanta, the Ohio Crankshaft team is making some serious preparations. "This deal is so tough" said driver Scott Ray "You just can't make any mistakes. We have been running pretty good, with some 6.0s at each race, but my driving has been a little off, and some minor parts failures have hurt us. We are stripping the car down to the bare bones and rebuilding everything from front to back in preparation for Atlanta. You have to have a 5 second tuneup in your tool box now. We are fortunate in that we can do all of our engine work in house, and Andy McCoy is available to keep an eye on the chassis. We are not going to just stand by and watch Joe Baker ride off into the sunset with the gold."

The NHRA JEGS Pro Mod series resumes in Atlanta April 24-26. Scott receives sponsorship support from World Products www.worldcastings.com, JE pistons at www.JEpistons.com, and Andy McCoy Race Cars at www.andymccoyracecars.com Keep up with Scott here at

“We're thrilled to have Stan Ray and Ohio Crankshaft offer up this program," said Scott Woodruff, Director of Media and Motorsports Marketing for JEGS. "They're a heritage company in the racing world and an extremely vital part of what we're trying to do in raising the profile of our series. It's important to note that 100-percent of the money he's offering up goes right back to our competitors. We're excited to have them on board."

Ohio Crankshaft is sponsor of Scott Ray's Pro Mod car, which is scheduled to compete at all 10 races of the 2008 JEGS ProMod Challenge.


3/10/08 Ohio Crank Corvette Gainesville Race Report - With a rain-soaked NHRA Gatornationals in the books, Scott Ray and the Ohio Crankshaft Pro/Modified team experienced huge tire shake during the first of two qualifying sessions that could take place for the weekend. Controlling the car well enough among a field of tire-shaking qualifier efforts, Scott started his 2008 season in the field in the number 15 position. With the second round of qualifying, Scott improved his performance numbers enough to take a 6.13 E.T. to move up to the number 9 position on the qualifying ladder. The Ray team got their first win light of the year out-running Taylor Lastor with a 6.06 to Lastor's 6.08. In Sunday's second round, the red light came out for Scott advancing eventual event winner Joe Baker to round number three.
3/6/08 Ohio Crank Corvette heads for testing and Gainesville - With some initial 2008 testing on the way to the NHRA Gatornationals the team is geared-up for their first event of the season.

Scott Ray and the Ohio Crankshaft 53 Corvette are making final preparations for the 2008 NHRA Jegs Pro Mod Challenge. - Said Scott " I am going to feel a little bit like the Lone Ranger out there against the multi-car teams. I just have my mom and dad, my brother, and a guy from the shop, but Andy has built us a great car, and we made some good laps at the end of last year. We have a good tuneup and are going to try a couple of new things in testing before Gainesville."

The Ohio Crankshaft team debuted the new, bright red 53 from Andy McCoy at the U.S. Nationals and recorded a 6.07 on the first day. Scott is the only driver to have competed every season in the NHRA P/M series and spends his "spare time" working as the sales manager of the family business. Associate sponsors World Products and JE Pistons are again providing invaluable support and are greatly appreciated.
