Despite a truly demanding corporate schedule Canadian Scott Mackie actively races one of the most unique vehicles within IHRA's demanding Top Dragster category. Mackie, who grew up in Ontario but now resides in Michigan, is the General Director for AC Delco's vast worldwide parts distribution network.

Scott Mackie has been racing his current 243-inch Attac-chassied rear-engine Top Dragster since 1999. Power for that machine comes from a truly unique engine combination - a 555 CID all aluminium Chevrolet -- that features an electronic fuel injection system that employs nitrous-oxide. The motor has been run on an experimental basis using both alcohol fuel and high octane pump gasoline. The dragster, which tips the scales at 1800 lbs, features a durable Hutchison 2-speed powerglide transmission. Other important components include a Competition cam, Dart cylinder heads and MSD ignition system. Scott, along with his wife Lucy, worked closely with fellow IHRA racer Harold Martin to develop the revolutionary engine combination, which many insiders agree, may be a peek into the long-term future of drag racing.

The evolution of Scott's Top Dragster has been impressive. Despite the rather rogue nature of their engine program the car was quick prove it's credentials hitting it's milestone first "six" during the 2001 season and running over 200 mph for the first time during 2002. Today the Ba-ba-Loo Racing dragster regularly runs in the 6.5 to 6.6 seconds zone.

During the 2004 racing season a 2nd team car was added -- an immaculately prepared Chevy II Nova which is driven by Lucy Mackie. That car is powered by a 540 CID Chevrolet motor. The car is equipped with a 2-stage nitrous-oxide system. So far that has not yet been employed, however expectations are when it is, the Chevy II will be capable of high 7-secs elapsed times.

The primary associate sponsor for the team is Harold Martin Motorsports.

Scott Mackie's dedication to the sport of drag racing does go well beyond his own racing operation. During the racing weekends that he and his wife are not active at the drag strip themselves, Scott is often present at major NHRA and IHRA national events in support of AC Delco's star drivers Kurt Johnson (NHRA Pro Stock) and Harold Martin (IHRA Pro Mod). Scott is a driving force within AC Delco's major event sponsorship associations within both of drag racing's sanctioning bodies.
