NMCA All-Star Nationals to Host Eaton TVS Supercharger Throwdown

Racing with a TVS Supercharger could win you $1,000 and a new supercharger from Eaton.

Eaton Corporation and the National Muscle Car Association (NMCA) have announced that when the series heads to Atlanta in April for the NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals, there will be a special class specifically for cars running an Eaton TVS supercharger. The EATON TVS Supercharger Throwdown is open to all NMCA cars powered by a TVS-supercharged late model engine from General Motors, Ford or Mopar and the winner takes home a check from Eaton and a new TVS Supercharger.

Eaton TVS Supercharger Throwdown

The Eaton TVS Supercharger Throwdown will be held at the Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals the weekend of April 4 through the 7 at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia. The class is open to all vehicles with a GM LS or LT engine, a Ford Modular Motor or a Gen III Hemi from FCA, and the vehicle is required to run a TVS supercharger. It is a heads-up, all-run class where the winner takes all, and the “all” in question is a $1,000 check from Eaton Corporation, a TVS Supercharger from one of the company’s partners and an award based on the TVS rotors. Those partners include Edelbrock, Harrop, Magnuson Superchargers and ROUSH Performance.

“This event is made possible because of EATON and its primary technical partners including Edelbrock, Harrop, Magnuson Superchargers, ROUSH Performance, and SuperchargersOnline.com,” shared Rollie Miller, National Event Director for NMRA and NMCA. “We’ve been talking to enthusiasts and specialty shops to bring their best cars to compete for big money and prizes, while having fun at the All-Star Nationals.”

In other words, you could show up to the event with a supercharged Camaro or Corvette and leave with a check for $1,000 and a new, bigger supercharger for your high performance Chevy. You could also just get a backup for whatever blower you already run, but the bottom line is that the winner could get a unit worth as much as $7,600.

TVS 2650

In addition to putting together a cool class with great awards, the Eaton Corporation is using the Throwdown to promote the newest iteration of their Twin Vortices Series technology, the TVS 2650 rotor package.

This is the largest blower with this technology, being 15% bigger than the TVS 2300 while also being 4% more efficient, requiring 18% less input power and offering 25% more flow at 18,000 rpm and 14 pounds of boost. The 2650 has a 170-degree twist, larger bearings and timing gears, better sealing between the rotors and improved pressure relief points in the bearing plate.

In other words, the TVS 2650 design is the biggest and best example of Eaton’s technology and to celebrate this new piece coupled with the company’s legendary success in the world of drag racing, the Eaton TVS Supercharger Throwdown was born.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
