Schumacher's
son-in-law bags 'record' sponsor for Funny Car
effort
Funny Car racer James Day, the son-in-law of
mega-team owner Don Schumacher, has landed a major
sponsorship deal with rock 'n' roll standout Stephen
Pearcy and Top Fuel Records. Day and his DLS
Motorsports race team will compete at all 24 NHRA
POWERade races. Dave Fletcher and Chris Nance will
share tuning duties.
Pearcy is the front man for the platinum-selling,
heavy-metal rock band Ratt who is continuing his
involvement with NHRA Championship Drag Racing after
a successful run with Top Fuel driver Clay Millican
in 2007. Millican was sidelined indefinitely when
his team owner, Evan Knoll, scaled back his racing
interests.
"It's really exciting for me to start with a team
from ground zero," Pearcy said. "They remind me of a
hard-core rock band chasing something they're so
passionate about. This year marks the 25th
anniversary of Ratt, and 2008 is the Year of the Rat
on the Chinese calendar, so we are definitely ready
to Ratt 'n' Roll this season."
The 29-year-old Day is a former Sportsman racer with
experience in Top Alcohol Funny Car and Top Alcohol
Dragster. He also drove a Nostalgia Top Fuel rail
before earning his Funny Car license last fall,
after which he attempted to make the fields at the
second Las Vegas race and the season-ending
Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals
in Pomona. |

"James is a very good driver," team owner Dave Smith
said. "More importantly, he's a good person. He has
good morals, he's a good speaker, and he has a lot
of racing knowledge. I definitely think he has what
it takes to succeed at this level as he's already
become a key person in this operation."
Day most recently did public relations and marketing
for Schumacher's race team. Early last year, Day
returned to his native California and began working
with Diamond Bar-based DLS Motorsports.
DLS Motorsports was formed by Dave and Linda Smith
in 1996 after years of Dave being involved with a
variety of race teams. The Smiths first fielded a
Top Alcohol Funny Car with the California
Independent Funny Car Association. After winning the
CIFCA championship in 2002, the Smiths stepped up to
nitro. They've competed on a limited basis while
working on sponsorship opportunities since. |

"I was very optimistic about putting something
together," Dave said. "I was confident in the
abilities of our marketing director, Tom Addy, and
we were all hoping for the best. With Stephen
Pearcy's backing, we not only have the chance to
race the full schedule, but we have a great chance
to be competitive. Stephen is going to be great for
this team. He's really excited and has great ideas.
He's ready to rock and roll, and so are we."
"This whole thing is absolutely awesome," Day said.
"I was a big Ratt fan growing up, and it will be
great to work one on one with Stephen." Pearcy also
is excited to have Day representing him. "He's a
rock and roller," Pearcy said. |

Eve show TBA.
Pearcy Say's;
I have the new solo CD "Under My Skin" (on Pearcy's own
label Top Fuel Records) out in a couple months, leaked a
couple songs on myspace, master the thing and away we go in
2008. "UMS" is released in Japan in February 2008 also. I
love the CD, took long enough. New Top Fuel Records artist
also releasing in 2008, "The Antidivision" and "Gash, Inc".
Now we go out M.I.A.and try a few new songs from UMS. Beside
going "Round & Round" and "Laying it Down", I'll be doing
songs from Arcade, Vicious Delite, maybe Vertex, the heavier
Ratt stuff, anything goes, that's why we set it up. "Metal
In America" was set up for exactly what were doing! Back to
basic's in your face, ass kicking good time, with a splash
of Ratt n Roll. I just finished the large summer venues
(don't get me wrong, the bigger the party, the..) but it's
always the smaller venues that really kick it up. You bring
it, we finish it! We lay down some Priest, Areosmith,
Cooper, Zep, Ratt, whatever. You get crazy, we get crazier,
and the party last longer on the solo tours! Don't ask!
Check for dates, only doing a few, but very much looking
forward to Jet Boy and my guitarists new band The
Antidivision takin' care on business, M.I.A.! I'd rather be
at a drag race.......speaking of...
We/Top Fuel World with Danno, Evan Knoll-Torco/Skull Gear
are planning a new breed of Rock & Racin! A lot to set up
for 2008, and then some!! Are you ready for some evil? "We
like going 330 MPH, and makin' you shake"!
See Ya out there! And always bring a friend!

I'm saddened to hear late, early
morning my dear friend and metal girl Tawn Mastery passed
away. I just saw Tawny at a recent Ratt show w/her sister
Cara in Minneapolis. Gave her a big hug and a kiss, I was
surprised and happy to see her even there, always the
supporter. It took strength and she had it. Bless you Tawn.
You did so much for us metal heads. Miss you.
