Something Wicked Is Coming
John Stanley Has A New Machine For 2009

With last years promising showing in the ADRL series and the Shakedown at E Town, the Team of Stanley and Weiss Racing decided to open the old barn doors and pull out the fresh new Tim McAmis Camaro that had been sitting just waiting for someone to get her going.

Camp has the power to push this state of the art ride well into the needed numbers with John Stanley seated deep behind the big screw blower just waiting to indulge itself with some alcohol and track time under the sleek new body.

Like a fine mix of Cointreau, Fresh Lime, and of course 100% Agave over crushed ice and served with some cumin spiced salt on the rim, this car is getting the works. You really didn't think Camp would give away his own killer recipe did you ??

This car will feature its own blend of carbon fiber, titanium and secret blower power tune, it's going to rock again with a fresh coat of Hugger orange and the "Can't be missed Purple Flames" with the skull and crossbones coming straight at you.

The team has set a date of mid January to have the car ready for testing so they can take a short break and have some of the above mentioned libations and then off for some secret passes to break her in. Look forward for more information and build details from Team Stanley and Weiss Racing Coming Soon !!

Wild Willy Goes West
Misfud and Stanley In Perth

The ANDRA drag racing series in 2008/2009 is to consist of eight rounds at three tracks throughout Australia. For the uninitiated this may not seem like much but few people outside the country realize that the Australian population is equal in count to New York City! These tracks are located in three of the largest metropolitan areas of Australia. They are Western Sydney International Dragway located in Sydney in New South Wales and Willowbank Raceway located in Brisbane in Queensland. The third track is the only one located in Perth in Western Australia. The Kwinanna Motorplex is a state of the art facility that will take a backseat to no drag strip anywhere in the world of drag racing! The largest drawback to racing at Perth is the distance. An airplane ride from Sydney takes up the largest part of five hours! It is the equivalent of going from Atlanta to Pomona! The powers that be make a special concession to the racers that attend these two events at Kwinnna by awarding bonus points to those who make the journey.

How About That Agent 660 !!
Stanley and Weiss Racing Press
What an honor to have Agent 660 notice that you've hit the internet and suprise you by finding it on the front page of The ADRL Website.

The fantastic ADRL Flowmaster Series is the farthest reaching in press, commentary and incredible photography by the best in the nation. Just having a "blurb" on this page is phenomenal in all aspects and to top it off "Roger Richards" adds to the flash of this with a gorgeous shot of John Stanley heating the tires unmercifully through the burnout box. This is something we at Stanley and weiss Racing will not soon forget as that little something that means alot.

The Wild Willy Is Coming And Bringing Camp Too !!:

Camp Stanley takes his first trip to Perth Austraila, one of the very few places he's yet to visit in this country to team up with Sean Misfud at Perth Motorplex. The battle of the Tuners and the first appearance of Sean Mifsuds 'Wild Willy' at the Perth Motorplex will add even more reasons to attend the West Australian Round of the Australian Top Doorslammer Championship series.

Mifsud, from Sylvania Waters (yes, for those who are old enough to remember...THAT Sylvania Waters!), New South Wales is bringing one of Australian Top Doorslammers most unique vehicles West.

The Willys is no slouch either having run a number of low 6 second passes culminating in a win at Queenslands Willowbank Raceway at the Tin Top Titles.

Since partnering up with US engine guru Camp Stanley, Mifsud has not only started to enjoy his racing more, he has also become a force to be reckoned with.

Wild Bunch Forerunner Camp Stanley Set For Trackside View At Tin Tops:
By Outlaw Nick At FastDoorslammers.com
(4-12-2008) WILLOWBANK, QLD, Original "Wild Bunch" forerunner Camp Stanley is headed to Australia for next weekend's Castrol EDGE Tin Top Titles at Willowbank Raceway, which, for the first time, will feature 16-car fields in Top Doorslammer and Pro Stock alongside an action packed support program.

As a founding member of Australia's Top Doorslammer category, Stanley has seen its evolution and will have a close eye on the sport as it takes it's next step at the Queensland quarter mile next week.

'The original "Wild Bunch' concept was a great way to create and be paid to race many different types of vehicles,' said Stanley.

'And I am happy to say I have been able to watch it grow and evolve from those very beginnings, and it indeed has been wonderful to behold!

Camp's Tales ~ So You Think It's A Passing Fad ??:
Written By Camp Stanley
Should anyone need ironclad proof that street legal-style racing is maintaining its market growth patterns they only need to experience a race or two or three in the Northeast or down in ORSCA country in the South. Or perhaps they might want to venture out to Texas or take a trip to Detroit! They might be amazed at the sights and sounds their senses are bombarded with!

The car and spectators counts may be deteriorating in the big name organizations and some competitors have finally given up, as my friend Tony Depillo did. I have watched this Outlaw style of racing grow in the Northeast with my own eyes over the last several years. And trust me (they all say that), the spiral is one heading upward and not downward.

The three major classes in this style of racing have become Outlaw 10.5, the headline class of all the organizations much to the chagrin of the other class' hitters. The ever-popular Heavy class follows up outlaw 10.5. And then we have the Radial guys with the wheels in the air, bumper dragging, out the back door antics.

Now some of you out there in cyberspace may wonder what in the name of Hades is this person going on about? What can he know about Outlaw racing? It is true that my roots run real, real deep in the Top Sportsman/Pro Mod type of cars. However, they run much deeper in the Outlaw antics. The guys and gals in today's cars do more with less than anyone would have thought possible several years ago. The limiting factors in this type of racing have become one of two things, tires or weight. But how did they get to the stage where they now are. I envision that it to went something like I have outlined below.

The first one being the rules that the power brokers that be came up with. "We will slow these clowns down easily". We will make them run a tire that is only 10 ½ inches wide!' Then they looked over at this other group of racers with cars who wanted to run on a street legal DOT tire and they told them: "Okay Big Time Racers one and all, you can race BUT you have to do it on a radial tire!" Then as they looked around at all the overweight fat tired cars sitting out in the pits, they told this group: 'Ok you want to race with us we'll fix you all once and for all. Your new rule is you have to weigh 3500 pounds!' These power brokers then went back up into their air-conditioned towers and sat around smoking cigars and telling each other smart they were! The problem is that they did what rules makers have been doing for years and years and years. They most definitely underestimated the ingenuity of The Racer! These classes that they thought would waste away to nothing grew to become a driving force in today's 'grassroots' style of racing. The power adder differences are amazing to behold. All of the classes utilize each and every type of power adder known to mankind!

Dave Hance, the big, no pun intended, mover and shaker of the Northeast Outlaw-style racing puts on a race that he calls the Shakedown at Etown at Englishtown NJ in mid October. Last year, they saw 30 cars entered in Outlaw 10.5, 25 cars entered in Heavy and 23 cars entered in the Radial tire class. Now bear in mind this is mid October after 'The Real World Streetnationals' and everyone has worn out their cars, the crews and the tow vehicles! At this event each of the classes had record or near record times and all power adders were represented well in all the classes.

But Dave has to take a back seat to the car counts in Florida for now. In spite of the threatened rain that did finally put a nail in the coffin of Carl's 2007 Real World Street Nationals, better known to one and all as simply 'Orlando' the pits were overflowing with race cars. How about 79 Outlaw 10.5 cars, 50 Heavy cars and 98 Radial racers! Yes 98 Radial tired cars! These types of car counts from sea to shining sea of our great country show all the world that the grassroots style of racing is a far cry from being dead and buried. The passion and enthusiasm with which these men and women support their style of racing has no equal anywhere on the face of the earth!

There is probably no better evidence of this than on "goDragRacing.com", a great website devoted exclusively to this style of racing which recently was awarded 'The News Website of the Year', one of the most prestigious of the "DOT COM" awards.

So if you want something to do on a Friday or Saturday night, or maybe a Sunday afternoon/evening you might want to venture out to your closest racetrack when they are holding one of these types of meets. There you will see cars and drivers do things with machines that will make you just shake your head and wonder out loud to anyone who will listen: 'How did they just do that!' And if you see some old fella wandering around the pits with a weather station under his arm and a drink in his hand, just ignore him. He is completely harmless, maybe

Postcards From Austrailia 2007 :
By Brian Wood At Competition Plus
Castrol City, the "Mother Of All tents" which housed 16 race teams at the WinternationalsIt would seem that Camp Stanley and I have established something of a tradition. I'm not sure if doing something three years in a row makes it a tradition, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it does. In any case, me and the irrepressible Mr. Stanley recently made our annual pilgrimage to the Southern Hemisphere to take in a major drag racing event. .

In 2005 we went to Western Sydney International Dragway for the Nitro Champs event, and last year we went to Brisbane Willowbank Raceway in Ipswich to be exact for the Winternationals.

This is the season finale and the biggest event of the year in Australian drag racing. We had a great time last year, so when it came time to plan the 2007 version of our trans Pacific journey, the "Winters" was our destination of choice.

In The Traps with Camp Stanley:
By HeadsUpRacer.com
The NSCA faithful know who Camp Stanley is, but what do they know about him? The Campster was famous for being a member of "The Wild Bunch" and his off the wall blown Taurus wagon.

A travelling circus who always had the fans on their feet, the Wild Bunch were amongst those who paved the way for what we now call Pro Modified.

Camp really was a pioneer in fast doorslammer racing and now with his son John behind the wheel of the Stanley / Weiss Pro Outlaw Camaro, he is enjoying life even more. Here are some of the things you may not know about the Campster.

Brian Wood's Annual Visit To Australia Yields Incredible Memories::
By Brian Wood Of Competiton Plus For Victor Bray
It was hard to believe that over a year had passed since my first visit to New Zealand and Australia. It was in May of 2005, to be exact, that I joined American doorslammer pioneer Camp Stanley and New Zealand's Top Doorslammer champion Dave Green on a trip to Western Sydney International Dragway for the Nitro Champs event. We had a great time, and long before we boarded a plane for home I knew I wanted to experience the sights and sounds of drag racing "down under" again.

Fortunately, in addition to being a veteran of supercharged door car racing, Camp is also a seasoned long-distance air traveler. He makes the trip to New Zealand and/or Australia three to four times a year. On many of these trips he joins Dave's crew at New Zealand Drag Racing Association (NZDRA) events and serves as tuner for their blown Corvette. Thanks to his expertise it was a relatively simple matter to make arrangements for the 2006 version of our journey to the Southern Hemisphere.

This time around we were heading to the biggest race on the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) calendar, the Castrol Edge Winternationals at Queensland's venerable Willowbank Raceway.
