Auto Transport Outlaw 632 Teams and Partners Gear Up for
Inaugural Season with PDRA
Chassis Engineering Sponsors Low Qualifier Award
PITTSBORO, N.C. (February 24, 2017): Originating in
Florida, the Outlaw 632 class steadily gained support and
exposure. After a one-race appearance with the PDRA in
2016, the class was added to the series for four races
this year and promises to be a great addition. Eastside
Auto Transport joined as class sponsor and now Chassis
Engineering has come on board to present the Low Qualifier
Award for the class. Clayton Murphy, owner of Chassis
Engineering is very excited about the possibilities the
class will see running with the PDRA.
“The class has really grown in Florida and I hope to see
it grow more throughout the country,” said Murphy. “It’s a
really good class. It offers a lot of different variety of
cars. It gives some of the older Top Sportsman
combinations another place to race. There’s not that many
rules, which is really cool. It’s fairly affordable. Any
class can get out of hand, but this class is designed to
limit the amount it takes to run. You gotta work on your
race car harder than anybody else if you want to win and
that’s where we come in. We help a lot of customers do
that. I’m really excited about that.” |

Chassis Engineering, founded in 1980, manufacturers high-end suspension
components for race cars, as well as complete chassis. “We build our own
rear end housings here,” Murphy continued. “We have a lot of in-house
tools, laser machines, plasma cutters, our own CNC benders. We try to
manufacturer as much as we can in-house. That gives us a lot more control.
If a customer calls up with a special order, that’s not a big deal. We
also repair cars, install roll bars, back halves, front clips. Building
complete cars is what I’m excited about more than anything. We’re trying
to move that forward building really high quality, custom cars.”
Murphy says that three of the last four cars produced by Chassis
Engineering have been specifically for the Outlaw 632 class. The class is
expected to have strong racer support. Ken Kershaw, pivotal in linking the
class to the PDRA, says many cars around the country have expressed
interest in running Outlaw 632 with the PDRA. Johnny Pluchino, son of
Extreme Pro Stock World Champion John Pluchino, will pursue the four race
schedule this year as will class supporter Kenny Voss of Voss Racing
Engines, among many others.
“I'm really excited about the class,” Murphy added, who also tunes Top
Sportsman and Pro Nitrous teams. “It’s going to be really cool. A lot of
our customer base competes in Outlaw 632 so we’re happy to support it with
the Low Qualifier Award. We’ll be at all the races to support our
customers.
