Countdown to the 2010 PMRA Championship Mike Stawicki – Champion
MEDINA, NEW YORK (November 9, 2010) – After supporting the PMRA Series for its entirety of six seasons, Mike Stawicki returned to racing in the Pro Modified Racing Association for the 2010 season, and captured his first PMRA Championship in the Point Award Series presented by Magnum Auto Parts and Patio Passport.
“Our year went excellent,” said Stawicki, who set several Pro Modified benchmarks during the season, including a Canadian record of 5.739 seconds for a quarter-mile pass, just one one-thousandth of a second behind the world Pro Modified elapsed time record. “Our year was one of the best.”
Stawicki qualified for all PMRA events, and took the number one Marydel Homes qualifying spot in four of five events, qualifying second in the remaining race. His 2010 PMRA record included one victory, a co-victory, two runner-up placings, and a quarter-final round.

Stawicki Racing aligns with LAT Racing Oils
The Stawicki Racing Pro Extreme team has recently announced its alliance with LAT Racing Oils.
Stawicki’s record breaking G-Force Race Cars built 68 Firebird, which recently set the North American Doorslammer speed record @ 255 mph and has run a best of 5.739 seconds in the quarter mile, made the switch over to LAT Racing Oils the race before the record was set. Mike Stawicki, team driver and owner of MSR Performance stated, “In the last 25 years of racing I’ve really never had oil make a difference in any of my engines for myself or my customers. That’s not the case with LAT. After making 13 consecutive runs in the 5 second zone with all runs between 252 and 255 mph my engine honestly has never looked better. We have run a total of 13 runs over 252 mph. The engine bearing s were in great shape as well as all other essential rotating parts. The engine over all just looked great and measured better than it ever has before. I’ll go to bat saying that this LAT Racing Oil really works well. I’ve tried many lubricants and additives in my career and I’m completely sold on LAT Racing Oils. I will be putting it in every engine that leaves my shop from this point on”.
