MARTIN, Mich. – Terry McMillen and his Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car leave the Knoll-Gas Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan this morning with a semi-final appearance to show for their efforts at the Torco Race Fuels Northern Nationals. McMillen plans on carrying the momentum into the Amalie Oil North American Nationals at this weekends event in Epping, New Hampshire.
“There’s nothing like racing at Martin for us,” McMillen said after the action packed weekend. “It’s our home track. There are so many family and friends that make it to this race. I’m glad we were able to make go some rounds for everyone. Plus, being Torco’s premier race with Evan Knoll racing his car and all the excitement that brings, we were happy to be a part of that big weekend.”
Rumble in the asphalt jungle!
ELKHART, Ind. – You could call it a ‘rumble in the jungle’, the ‘party in the pits’ or just ‘mayhem in Martin’, Terry McMillen calls it home. The gator themed Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car, powered by Torco Race Fuels will be a fan favorite at this weekend’s Torco Racing Fuels Northern Nationals. The event takes place August 3-5 at the Knoll Gas Motorsports Park off of US 131 near Martin, Michigan.
“This race is the craziest race on the circuit for us,” McMillen explained “We will have a couple hundred hometown fans witnessing this event as our guests. We race and test here so much it’s just home for us.”
Besides being McMillen’s home turf, the track has proved to be friendly for the Indiana based team over the past few seasons, including a runner-up finish last season. This year, expectations are just as high. “The team is stating to jell,” McMillen said. “My crew chiefs Andy Mac Daddy and TV Tad made some changes in Grand Bend and the car responded, running a 5:89 in first round. With the addition of Austin Lambright we believe we have the nuclease to start going rounds and winning races.”
How low can you go?
ELKHART, Ind – As the Knoll Gas Nitro Jam rounds the half way mark of the 2007 season and the points battles start to heat up like a humid night on Lake Michigan, Terry McMillen wonders what it will take to make the Torco Nitro Top Fuel Field at this weekend’s Torco Race Fuels Northern Nationals.
The August 3-5 event held at the Knoll-Gas Motorsports Park in Martin Michigan will feature an all-star cast of Nitro pilots including; seven time defending IHRA Champion Clay Millican, J.R. Todd, Melanie Troxel and teammate Doug Foley. Knoll himself will even compete at the event, adding another quality car to the mix of competitors.
Fresh off of his first win in Edmonton and semi-final appearance in Grand Bend, McMillen has fought his way into contention for the championship, currently in the fifth position. While McMillen fights to stay in the points battle with TJ Zizzo, Bruce Litton, Scotty Cannon and Bobby Lagana he knows just qualifying for the field will be an accomplishment.
“The competition this week is going to be awesome,” said McMillen. “Evan has five his of his NHRA cars coming over to compete at his race. This means it will be nothing short of a blood bath to get in the field.”

Here’s just a few photos of some of the fun.
InstiGator moves into 5th place after Grand Bend
GRAND BEND, Ont. – When the MOPAR Canadian Nationals were complete, Terry McMillen and the Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car had fought back into the top five of the Knoll Gas Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series. The Torco powered alcohol flopper made its best lap of the year but fell to event winner Paul Noakes.
“My crew has been working so hard,” McMillen said. “We’ve done more testing this year than we have in a long time. It’s starting to pay off, we’re just not seeing all of the end results of the hard work. The motor is really happy and we’re starting to lean on it a little now. We just couldn’t get all of the adjustments that we needed going from Edmonton’s 4,500 foot adjusted elevation to Grand Bend’s 1,500 feet.”
While McMillen and crew were disappointed in the end result from Grand Bend, they know that the changes to their set up will produce the speed needed to compete. “This car is ready to run some big numbers now,” said Co-Crew Chief Andy McMillen. “We haven’t even started to lean on it yet. We’ll smarten it up a little more going into Martin.”
McMillen scores at the Rocky Mountain Nationals
EDMONTON, Alberta – He’s pulling double duty this season, racing in both his Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car and the Foley/Lewis backed Torco Nitro Top Fuel Dragster. In just his fifth Top Fuel event, Terry McMillen, an IHRA fan favorite, drove through a tough field including teammate and number one qualifier Doug Foley to earn his first Iron Man.
“It was just an unbelievable feeling to win,” McMillen told drag racing website CompetitionPlus.com. “I’ve always said Edmonton is one of my favorite tracks. To come out here and win it is an awesome deal. Perseverance by the Torco team was a major factor today. We went out there and got it done. I just can’t say enough about my team, Evan Knoll (mentor/sponsor), Tim Lewis, and Doug Foley (team co-owners).”
Edmonton still friendly for McMillen
ELKHART, Ind. – It’s a 38-hour jaunt from the Hoosier Thunder Motorsports race shop to the Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta. For McMillen and his Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car powered by Torco Race Fuels, everyone of the long miles to Edmonton are welcomed.
“Rob and Kim Reeves (Castrol Raceway track owners) do such a great job making this race one of the friendliest on the Knoll-Gas Nitro Jam Drag Racing circuit,” said McMillen. “Our team always looks forward to the CARS RV & Marine & Motorsports Rocky Mountain Nationals presented by Torco.”
Edmonton’s friendly spirit goes beyond the hospitality of the Reeve’s family for McMillen. During the past two seasons McMillen’s hotrod has made it to the semi-final and final round. “There’s certainly something special about Edmonton for us,” McMillen added. “Plus it has the best lighting of any track that we’ll race all season, guarantee,” McMillen joked regarding the long summer days of northwest Canada where the sun doesn’t set until past midnight. “These fans truly love drag racing. They’ll hang out all night with us.”
InstiGator to appear at Pinks All Out
Terry McMillen and his Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car will be at the Milan Dragway Saturday June 30 for the Pinks: All Out event. There is no truth to the rumor that McMillen’s 3,500 horse powered Hemi will participate in the event.
“The Pinks: All Out series on SPEED has been great for the sport of drag racing,” McMillen said. We’re excited about being a small part of the show.”
The appearance will be to cross promote the Suzuki Motor City Nationals taking place August 24-26 at the Milan Dragway, the eighth stop on the Knoll-Gas Nitro Jam drag racing series.
