With Eddy Plaizier at the wheel and great crew members like Wayne Barber, Scott Bieganek, Dave Boucher, and Casey Plaizier, the Pro Nostalgia Cup is ours for the third time. Atchison Machine provided us with a great motor, Dave Parfett and Dave Boucher worked hard to always have the car race-ready.

Three-time IHRA Funny Car Champion Rob Atchison and ACE Manufacturing have joined forces in a three-year deal that will see the Atchison family funny car compete at races in Western Canada and United States.
"With all of the instability surrounding IHRA and the Alcohol Funny Car class coupled with the addition of my son Wyatt I felt it was time for a change," Atchison said. "I got a chance to meet Harold Parfett at the Rocky Mountain Nationals and we hit it off. We have been talking racing and throwing ideas back and forth since July. We are very happy to finally be able to announce we will be racing with them for the next three years and possibly beyond."
Atchison will join the Plaizier family at Team ACE Racing. "Eddy, Casey and Frankie have a history of winning, they are great racers and I'm very excited to meet them, watch them race and become a part of their racing family," said Rob.
Atchison Machine Service Inc. of London, Ontario, will serve as engine builder for the ACE Manufacturing Pro Nostalgia Funny Car. "We are eager to get involved with the 7.50 nostalgia funny car combination," Atchison said. "We know that we can apply all of the machining and assembling techniques we use on our Top Alcohol car and give the IBAA funny car the longevity and consistency it will need to win races." Also as Canada’s only Lenco transmission dealer, Atchison Machine will be in charge of transmission service and repair for the entire team. [12/9/2008]
