Take a look at this, Team Vixen great showing at No Prep Kings US 131!
In the world of high-octane street racing, Team Vixen, led by Nick and Rich, has made waves with their remarkable showing at the recent No Prep Kings event held at US 131. This talented group of racers has had its fair share of ups and downs, but their perseverance and commitment to excellence have brought them back into the spotlight.
Team Vixen, owned by Jack French, the man behind the renowned Atomizer Injectors used by many racers in No Prep Kings (NPK) and other drag racing events, has faced numerous challenges in recent seasons. Their struggles were not due to their chosen combination but rather the chassis of their car. Originally an outlaw 105 car, the chassis proved to be problematic, especially when transitioning to NPK racing.
However, the team’s determination to overcome these obstacles led them to make critical changes during the off-season. They worked tirelessly to rectify the chassis issues that had plagued them, making significant improvements to their racing setup. But it wasn’t just their car that received an overhaul; Team Vixen also adopted the screw blown combination, a bold choice that promised better results.
The hard work and dedication began to pay off. In the face of adverse racing conditions, Team Vixen managed to outperform a host of formidable competitors, securing impressive victories along the way. It’s worth noting that Nick and Rich are no strangers to the drag racing world. They’ve experimented with various setups over the years, from root blown setups to turbochargers, always seeking the winning formula.
In NPK, where competition is fierce and the stakes are high, Nick’s tuning prowess and Rich’s driving skills have consistently placed them as middle-of-the-pack racers in the point standings. Yet, they have never been content with mediocrity. Season after season, they pushed themselves to reach the finals, and although setbacks like Rich’s crash against Kai Kelly in season 4 were heartbreaking, they never lost sight of their goals.
The previous season presented its own set of challenges, with recurring car issues hampering their performance. Despite these setbacks, they currently hold the 13th position in the NPK point standings. This season, they’ve upped their game, thanks in part to their brand-new Thea Racing Engines Hemi, a top-of-the-line powerhouse based on the renowned Hemi engine.
With their car working seamlessly and a newfound momentum, Team Vixen is poised to make a significant impact in the final three races of the season. If they can maintain their form and steer clear of issues, there’s a strong possibility that Nick, Rich, and the entire Team Vixen crew could secure a place in the top 10, or perhaps even the top five, by the season’s end.
As fans of street racing, we can’t help but root for Team Vixen’s underdog story. Their journey is a testament to the resilience and passion that drives these racers to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the track. We eagerly await their upcoming races, hoping to witness them triumph at an NPK event and, who knows, maybe even secure a well-deserved championship.
