Take a look at this,New Generation Racer starting No Prep Kings Racing at NPK Maple Grove!
In the high-octane world of street racing, where speed and skill reign supreme, a new name is about to hit the asphalt, and it’s one that carries the weight of a legendary lineage. Get ready for Jimmy How, the son of none other than the celebrated racer Jim How, to make his debut in the exhilarating world of No Prep Kings (NPK) racing this weekend at Maple Grove.
Jim How is no stranger to the NPK circuit, having clinched victory in two NPK events last season. Despite a setback that saw him crashing his car earlier this season, he showed his unwavering dedication by returning with a brand new racing machine just months later. With a racing career spanning an impressive 35 years, Jim How’s reputation as a formidable contender precedes him.
Now, the torch is set to be passed to the next generation as Jimmy How prepares to make his mark on NPK racing. The young racer will be taking the wheel of “the warden,” the very car that Jim How used to kickstart his NPK journey. Originally a 105 Outlaw car, the warden has undergone significant modifications to become NPK-ready. It even boasts a rich history of winning a limited drag radial Championship back in 2019 and consistently posting times in the 390s.
The warden’s journey in the NPK scene began in season 4, where it soon became evident that it couldn’t compete with the lighter cars due to its weight. Subsequently, Jim How introduced “the guardian,” a highly competitive NPK car. Now, Jimmy will be at the helm of the warden, poised to take on the Future Class and Outlaw Big Tire categories.
But that’s not the end of the story. It’s been revealed that a brand new NPK car is in the works for Jimmy, courtesy of his father, Jim How. This new addition to the NPK lineup is sure to be as competitive as any other car on the circuit, and it represents a future filled with thrilling races and potential championship runs.
The warden is equipped with a Roots blown Hemi setup, based on the Brad Anderson motor. While it may not have a screw blower, it’s still capable of clocking times in the 390s, and it’s a sight to behold with its stunning design. While it may not currently be fast enough for the main Invitational event, it serves a crucial purpose in Jimmy’s journey as a racer.
Jimmy How’s goal is clear: gain experience, hone his skills, and eventually transition into the main Invitational event. The warden is his training ground, preparing him for the day when he’ll step into a purpose-built NPK car that can take on the best of the best.
The anticipation is palpable in the NPK community, as fans eagerly await the rise of Jimmy How. With the guidance of his father and the support of his fellow racers, he’s poised to become a force to be reckoned with in the world of No Prep Kings racing. Keep an eye out for this rising star as he takes his first exhilarating steps on the NPK circuit, and who knows, in the not-so-distant future, we might see him vying for the championship in the main Invitational event. The legacy of the How family in NPK racing is far from over; it’s simply shifting into a new gear.
