News:May 16th: Travis Senter takes the $2000-to-win at Clarkesville.... for 5th year! FTZ motors rocked with a 1-2-3 at the $2000 to win make-up feature as Joe B. Miller and Dereck King finished out the top three. Dereck came back to win the weekly race later the same night, aquiring his 4th feature this year win since installing FTZ power.
May 2nd: Dereck King wins Powri Belleville opener! with his new FTZ Honda- Yes that's right, Honda.... We decided to try all our tricks on the new type Honda motors ('07-'08) since they have got more popular- and it seems to more than able to get the job done as DK has chalked up 2 wins, a 2nd a 3rd, and a 5th since putting this motor in his car. The new Honda is not the absolute fastest thing we have ever built, but is a good solid-built motor and is easily available. As always, call for more info.
Jan 31st: Senter wins 1st Round of Florida's East Bay Nationals! Wins 2009 series.
see link: http://www.karnac.com/floridatracks/html/eb.shtml or http://www.flminisprints.com/
Jan '09:Travis Senter Jr. again wins the Australian Oval Express Series Championship! After winning this important series two years ago on our last trip "down under" (details below), Travis wanted to go back and try it again. This time several top American racers were also present adding to the already tough competition there. Trav started out well with a 2nd in the first round, then winning the next three rounds, and then went into the last two rounds in a bit of a "cautious mode", having a comfortable series point lead finishing back a bit but securing the championship.
We invite our Aussie friends to call or email us anytime with any questions about FTZ Products........
Sept 20: Senter wins the 2008 I-30 Nationals again!!!
The track finally tightened up and allowed us to show off our horsepower edge! Eric Edwards (1e) passed into the lead early on and lead until he picked up a push but still managed 5th. Once Trav (22) worked his way to the front and got to open track, he put on quite a show quickly disappearing from the rest of the pack. He was cutting laps very close to 13 seconds flat! Aaron Reutzel charged hard through the pack to a solid 7th place finish in this biggest race of the year for 600 micro's.
And once again, our little hot shoe Trent Taylor also easily cleaned house in the "Horizon" restricted class! for the second year in a row!
Thanks for an awesome night guys!
Sept 19: I-30 Nationals "Night 1"- Senter and Edwards 2nd & 3rd!
A good start to the weekend. Travis was high point man after the heat & qualifier. In the feature he chose to take a more conservative line than the leader to insure getting safely into Saturdays show. Eric made an impressive run, finishing 3rd, and was gaining on the leaders every lap.
Good Luck to all tonight!

at Macon!! Passing into the lead on lap one to convincingly win again, giving him a large points lead early in the Powri series.

April 2008:
FTZ motors dominate Clarksville $2000-to-win !
After filling the 4 fastest qualifying positions during time trials, and a 1-2 in the dash, the FTZ "wrecking crew" went on to a 1st, 2nd and 4th place finish in the 30 lap feature. Once again even our standard bore motors showed their obvious power advantage on this fast & tacky racetrack. 1st went to Travis Senter, 2nd to FTZ regular Eric Wright, and 4th went to relatively newcomer Justin Rapp who showed great speed in time trails and dash, and early laps of the feature.
Eric Edwards takes Powri series opener
at Macon, Illinois!!
Taking the lead on lap 15 for the win in his first race out this year with his new FTZ R6 motor package. Good break-in run, Eric!
March 2008: FTZ equipped Aussies show well at their National "Titles" race. This important race determines the Australian National ranking, and which car number they will run next year. See this link....
Jan 31, 2008: Travis Senter wins opening round of the East Bay Winternationals! Lapped up to 10th place!!
Feb 1st: East Bay "Round Two" goes to "Bobby Z"!!
Feb 2nd: Trav again wins "Round Three" at East Bay!
Samantha Gargus starts 24th and finishes third!
FTZ motors love big fast racetracks! Get some!!
Sept 14th: I-30 600 Nationals results: Senter 2nd, Sawyer 4th.
Not bad out of 130 something cars. It was a good race, Dusty Young puts together quite a program down there. Travis actually passed into the lead on lap 14 but developed a push that kept him from getting out of the corner well, allowing the leader to eventually get away. We would have loved to had a repeat win there- and feel we should have- but that's dirt racing!
July 14th:
Scott Sawyer wins Pittsfield/Pike County $10,000 to win!!
Scott passed into the lead in the dash to qualify for the pole starting position in Saturday's feature race, of which he led all 50 laps. Good job and welcome back Saw!
July 6: Eric Edwards takes Doe Run Powri show! Eric came from 4th position to win his 10th feature at Doe Run, Mo last evening with over 40 entries. He pulled out a convincing lead as soon as he broke open track, pulling the other cars about a car length per straight away. It is interesting to note that the Edwards are running the same car and motor, carbs and exhaust that Eric won the 2005 NMMA Restrictor class National Championship with- it is still 600cc but now modified with our Level-2 portwork, of course. This makes this the third season on this, their only engine. This proves you don't have to spend a ton of money every year to win even the toughest of races.
Scott Sawyer has won three in a row at Claremore, OK with his new FTZ R6 motor! Scott tells us he now has awesome power to pass cars.... he started 18th in one of those races and was in the lead in 10 laps.
*PA AREA RACER'S: Be sure to see our updated 600 PA page...click here
June 18: Travis Senter is now up to 15 feature wins, and Eric Edwards has won 7! Great start to the season guys!
April 2007: The opening season wins keep coming with Travis Senter and Eric Edwards doing a one-two at the Clarksville, TN 2k to win show April 28th!
*Congrats to Travis Senter for winning both Powri series openers at Jacksonville and Lincoln, Ill. April 21 & 22. and to to heat winners Jim "Rimmer" Tsokotos and Chris Massey who also ran well both nights. And also congrats to Eric Edwards who had a convincing win at the S.I.R. opener at Marion, Ill. Good work guys!
Travis usually stays closer to home, but I was glad to see him haul North and run against the Powri guys. We don't have many guys racing that series, so it was good to see him just motor away from the field both nights. I keep telling people that if you are going to race on "real" race tracks- you better have some HP!. A stock or near stock motor won't do it.
Sat Feb3: I received a call from Travis Senter telling me he had won the Feature last night at East Bay Speedway in the Florida Mini-Sprint series- Awesome! This is a high profile race series held on a big fast racetrack. It is also one of the few opportunities to race with the Pennsylvania area, and East coast guys. Definitely a fast field of cars. Trav told me the track was hooked up, and he went from 8th to the front- and won with a big lead over 2nd place. He had finished 3rd on Wednesday's race after falling back to 26th when he accidentally hit the fuel pump switch earlier in the race! He also finished 3rd on Thursday night on a less than hooked up track. The last show is tonight..Here is a link to a video of Friday's race at East Bay....
As always: When the car is hooked up, this Level-2 R6 motor will "SHINE". Don't expect a motor from the salvage yard to run like this - no matter what you "bolt" on it.
Sun Feb4: Travis called again today and told me: "Well, they screwed up and let me start on the pole for the feature" and he said that he then "Checked out". This win was on the final race of the East Bay series, which had a tough field full of 636's, and even some 750's!. He did not attend the races last week, so that kept him from being highest in series points. He did tell me that he ran the quickest lap of the week at 14.806. GET SOME!
Jon's Trip "Down under":
Sat Dec30: Early this last fall, I was invited along on a racing trip to Australia with Travis Senter Jr. & Sr. I signed up to go, and am now writing this from our guest's home at Warrnambool, a beautiful little seaside resort town in an area full of hard core dirt racing fans! Today is day 5 of the Formula 500 Oval Express Series and we are to race at Hamilton tonight. Trav won the race at Laang Speedway last night, and should have taken over the series points lead. We dropped a lot of points the first night after the chain fell off in the feature after Trav lead 14 laps or so- and should have had at least a top 3 finish. Don't think for a minute that these guys aren't tough competition- We have had to race our butts off! Aside from Trav's own car not arriving in time, us borrowing a car, and me having to bring a Level-2 R6 head down in my suitcase to put on a stock bottom end, we are now also afflicted with a small wing and narrow wheelbase/track rule- and get this: No hot laps at most of the races!! Talk about a test of setup guesswork! They also have some blokes racing some super lightweight (no weight limit) cars powered by 500cc 2 and 3 cylinder two-stroke snowmobile motors, and also 4 cylinder two-stroke RG500 factory Suzuki road race motors. Some tough competition for sure......
Anyway, the people are great, the fans are rabid- they are expecting maybe 10,000 at the final race! Trav's been in all the local newspapers, radio, glossy magazines (USA vs Australia hype, etc) and they even have a big screen stadium video for replays- like at a major league ball game. They love their racing around here, that's for sure. I'll update when I can. Jon
See the video of a heat race at Adelaide (The black #2 on the outside, of course. Check out the crowd & stadium video screen!)
Sat Dec31: Well, we got it hooked up, the "suitcase motor" is running hard, and we won again last night at round 5 at Hamilton, a big round, tacky and flat Linda's or Granite City type track. We figure Travis now has over a 30 point lead for the Formula 500 Oval Express series. Our Western Australia customer Steven Gay has also won two rounds of the series as well. They drove over 36 hours just to get here! The final round will be New Years day and promise to be a big one!
Tue Jan2: Made it home (gawd what a flight!) and got the word that Travis won the series points championship.....Good for that! But, I hated to miss the shootout though. Here is a couple of their magazine articles: Aussie Magazine Dec 06, and Aussie Magazine Jan 07.
And, of course see www.Travissenter.com for more details & pics.

Congratulations to Travis Senter for his win at the I-30 600 Nat'ls! 126 cars from across the nation entered for the $10,000 to win!
FTZ 600 customers had an awesome weekend at what many feel was the biggest, toughest race in Micro Sprint history, at the fast high bank 1/4 mile track in Little Rock, Ark. The Friday night races concluded with no less than 10 heat & qualifier races won by our customers, and the Feature being dominated by Oklahoma's Scott Sawyer and his FTZ Level-2 R6. Tennessee's Eric Wright and Arkansas's Travis Senter also made it in the top 6 locking in their transfers to the Saturday Feature.
For the big finale on Saturday night it was Travis Senter Jr. shot to the lead from a 4th place start and easily motored away to lead the rest of the laps unchallenged, securing the $10,000 to win purse. Trav was clicking off lap times in the 13 second flat range. 3rd place in the Feature went to Eric Wright who showed great determination and skill fighting an extremely tight car to put his new Level-2 R6 into the top three.... Check out this video......
Here is two links to the entire I-30 race on YouTube.com:
