Patience and persistence are necessary in the world of drag racing, and Joe Arrowsmith has refined those skills to put his name on the board in the highly competitive Competition Eliminator category. Arrowsmith finished No. 8 in NHRA's Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series national standings in 2021 with three wins in three final rounds. Louis national event and went back-to-back with trophies at the divis

ion double-header in Acton, Montana. Over the course of the 2021 season, Arrowsmith claimed an impressive seven low qualifier awards to bring his career total to 13. Racing has always been a family affair for the Arrowsmith clan. The family patriarch, Daryl, was an active competitor in Modified and Comp Eliminator and has been part of the drag racing scene for over 60 years. Ready to step into his own, the younger Arrowsmith licensed in Super Gas with Frank Hawley in 2018 and was in the mid 9-second zone his first time down the dragstrip. Soon after, he got in the family Comp car on a Friday at Brainerd International Raceway, and after two test passes, he was officially the designated driver. His father happily relinquished the seat in favor of tuning their racecar, and the role-swap immediately proved successful. Now a two-time national record holder, Arrowsmith set the F/AA class record at 7.85-second and 172.94 mph in 2021 and the G/AA record at 8.02, 168.75 in 2020, both in the Arrowsmith Racing 2006 Jerry Haas-built Pontiac GTO. Now 35 years of age, Arrowsmith resides in Ham Lake, Minnesota, with partner Ellie and daughters Chloey and Mackenzie. The 2022 season will mark his fourth year as a drag racer in the increasingly tough world of NHRA Competition Eliminator.

Last weekend didn’t go the way we wanted it to. Lost first round both races and we changed a bunch of stuff around so didn’t have time to keep the page updated.
We had some carburetor problems and it was bogging the motor down at the hit and killing the run. Thankfully my neighbor was able to look at them this week!

I have the brain trust here this weekend for the nationals so we’ll see how it goes!

Big thanks to everyone who supports us and helps us out

We had a runner up finish here at Maryland International Raceway

The semi and finals were decided by 3 thousandths of a second total.

The facility was amazing, the staff were some of the nicest people I have ever dealt with and the overall format for the weekend was pretty laid back and not as hectic as other national events.

Huge thank you to my pops for driving the rig and doing everything he does to let us race.
My wife for making the trip and helping out with everything.

Thank you to Joe C for the help with the transmission and Jim Evans for some tuning help over the phone as always!
