H&J Motorsports Dragfest Expo January 7-9, 2022 Recap
Posted March 1st 2022
 Team H&J Motorsports braved the first snow storm of 2022 to be at this very cool indoor car show in Lebanon, PA. And it was quite the ride into a blinding snow storm!!
It was a great honor to be asked to attend this show representing the 8.50 Index Class of the Northeast Index Racers. We had a car from each of our indexes, 8.50, 10.0 and 11.50 on display.
If you had a chance to attend, there was some very cool cars on display, a huge Hurst Olds collection and even Linda Vaughn was there signing autographs.
The H&J Motorsports Firebird was all shined up and looking good and when all the cards were laid on the table during the awards ceremony, we came home with a Top 5 Judges Pick out of the 140+ cars in attendance.
We were shocked and surprised and of course elated with such a high honor and award amongst all those beautiful show cars to say the least.
We then loaded the Firebird back up and ventured home in the Sunday ice storm. Thankfully we made it home safe and sound and now we are deep in preparations for the upcoming 2022 race season.
Please check back as we are getting the final details of the 2022 all sorted out and posted as soon as possible.

Ending 2016 On A Good Note...Make That A GREAT Note!!!
Posted December 5th 2016
It will be nice to get everyone back on track here and give you a wrap up of another fantastic winning season for the H & J Motorsports 8.50 Index Firebird.
The shop has been busier than ever and it seems like I am working on my own group of 8.50 assassins for the 2017 season,lol; but our team was still out there this year at races, shows and appearances to help promote all of our marketing partners.
We made it to more than 12 races, ended up with three wins, our first NHRA Wally at the Dutch Classic, and our 3rd 8.50 Index Track Championship in the last four years, this time at Maple Grove Raceway.
 None of this is possible without the help of a great crew..my son Matt assuming more of the race day duties and my wife Jackie doing what she has done all these years for the team, making sure every single detail is addressed and ready to go for race day.
Our many long time sponsors as well as newer ones have helped keep the H & J Motorsports Firebird in tip top shape, allowing me to do my job and get to that winners circle over and over and look great at our many shows and appearances.
Special thanks go out to all of you...
 Redhorse Performance for quality hoses and fittings, MSD for all of our ignition products for the last 20 years, Nickerson Performance and the dead on carburetor he provides us, Mickey Thompson Tires giving the firebird awesome traction pass after pass, RJS Safety keeping me safely belted in and helping me stop, Nitrous Pro Flow keeping the power coming to the motor, TRZ Motorsports and their awesome suspension components, Autometer gauges allowing me to keep an accurate eye on everything, Moroso products throughout to round out the entire winning package that brought us to the season's end with such oustanding performance, reliability and safety.
The entire H & J Motorsports team is looking forward to 2017 as we will once again run in the Northeast and defend our title at Maple Grove Raceway.
 We are also looking forward to helping our customers become better drivers and being able to battle it out with a great group of racers week after week in this hotly contested series and class.
We will soon begin the task of updating our 2017 8.50 Index Series schedule as soon as the surrounding tracks begin their mission of supporting the series and finalizing theirs to accentuate one of the most important aspects of what we do at H & J Motorsports...Promotion and product awareness of our many great sponsors.
Please check back often as we will be featuring new marketing partners, showcasing existing ones, updating our 2017 schedule and keeping all of our fans on top of exciting season.
