McDermott Family Racing
1927 Ford Roadster |
McDermott Family Racing started within the depths of Los Angeles, California in 1991, with the acquisition of a 1927 Ford Roadster from Ed DeStaute, to compete in the NHRA Division 7 Super Gas points championship. We competed at tracks such as Pomona, Pheonix, Sonoma, Las Vegas, among others, from 1991 until 1995. During 1995 and 1996, a work related move had the entire family and racing operation relocate to a desolate region of Texas. Due to the migration and work load, the Roadster and trailer were sold in 1998, after having been ran only a limited number of times at North Star Dragway (1/8 mile) and the Texas Motorplex (1/4 mile), 30 and 120 miles away respectively. |

1968 Chevy Camaro |
After moving to the heartland of DFW Racing, Mansfield, Texas, in 2009, McDermott Family Racing was resurrected in 2010, with the purchase of a 1968 Camaro from across the state, in Baytown, Texas (a Houston Suburb). In Mansfield, LenMar Motorsports and Texas Raceway are just around the corner, while Reher-Morrison Racing Engines are just up the road in Arlington, and Texas Motorplex is 30 miles away. This provided the optimal situation for MFR to be brought back together. Unlike in California, our goal is simply to run for the fun of the sport, to Bracket race and occasionally take part in specialty races, and not to run for divisional points. |
