Chuck Ulsch Makes Record-Breaking Pass And Becomes The First To Earn A Place In Mickey Thompson's Three-Second Club For The Extreme 10.5 Class



08/10/09

Stow, OH - Racing on the new Mickey Thompson Pro-5 double bead lock wheels and #3169W tires, Chuck Ulsch posted a record-breaking 3.98-second elapsed time in the eighth mile at the ARDL competition on Sunday, August 9, 2009, and became the first racer to earn a place in the Mickey Thompson Three-Second Club for 2009.

The Mickey Thompson ADRL Extreme 10.5 Three-Second Club combines several special prizes into one great awards program. A number of prizes are awarded including $3,000 in cash to the first five race teams able to achieve less than four-second runs in the Extreme 10.5 Class.

Driving Gil Mobley's 1968 Camaro, Ulsch achieved a 197.88 mile-per-hour top speed setting a new National Guard ADRL speed record. According to the ADRL, National Guard ADRL President/CEO Kenny Nowling called Ulsch?s effort one of the most incredible passes he had ever seen.

Chuck Ulsch's performance was nothing less than phenomenal, stated Carl Robinson, Motorsports Manager, Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels. To have a car achieve that three-second speed range in the hot, humid conditions we had in St. Louis is a testimony to the determination and confidence of Chuck Ulsch, the Gil Mobley racing team, and the capabilities of the 3169W Mickey Thompson 10.5-inch tires and Pro-5 Wheels.
