Greist spent several years in the Skip Barber Race Series, where the Madison native won three series championships.
Virginia International Raceway (VIR) is located in Southern Virginia, between Danville and South Boston. ArmsUp Motorsports driver Revere Greist from Madison, Wisconsin, flat-out owned the track and the running of the SCCA Oak Tree National in the Formula Continental (FC) division. Greist won all six official sessions on the way to a double race victory, and a new FC lap record at the historic 3.2 mile Virginia road course.
ArmsUp Motorsports driver Revere Greist dominated the SCCA Oak Tree National in the Formula Continental division.
Greist, who finished second twice in last year's double format event, led the entire 14 lap first race from the pole this year, finishing with 17 second lead.
In Sunday's second race Greist would once again lead from the pole, running out to a comfortable lead. Continuing to push till the very end of the race, Greist set the new VIR FC lap record on the race's final lap at a 1:53.128.
"This was a really good weekend for the team and me," remarked Greist.
"We knew we had one of the quickest cars at the track from the word go, which allowed me to just focus on my driving, and making the car quicker. We were able to test a few different items throughout the weekend and the car kept getting better."
"Greist did a fantastic job at VIR in the car, he never put a wheel wrong all weekend and continued to push right up until the end to claim the new lap record for the FC car there. Revere and the ArmsUp team have been working very hard over the last season to improve the performance of the Van Diemen chassis and the weekend was just a continuation of that process," added Steve Welk ArmsUp Motorsports marketing manager.
Greist has been with ArmsUp Motorsports since the start of the 2008 season," continued Welk.
"After spending several years in the Skip Barber Race Series, where the Madison native won three series championships, Greist decided it was time for a new challenge and he entered the SCCA Formula Continental division, under the Guidance of ArmsUp Motorsports owner Gregg Borland. Borland knew Greist through Skip Barber, where Borland was an instructor and test driver – the match up was simple."
Since the beginning of the collaboration between ArmsUp and Greist, the pairing won the 2009 SCCA Central Division Championship, finished third in the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, and scored two podiums in the SCCA June Sprints.
Curious, we asked where the ArmsUp name came from?
"The ArmsUp name came from a bar game that team owner Gregg Borland and long time friend, and now team driving coach, Jim Pace, came up with when the two worked together for Skip Barber in the mid 90's. The actual game is a guarded secret and known only to team members and close friends," explains Welk.
"When Borland was still competing as a driver in the Barber Dodge Pro Series, he adopted the ArmsUp Motorsports name for his marketing company, and then carried it on when he opened the prep shop in 1998."
Team owner Borland says, "K&N Filters continue to provide ArmsUp Motorsports the best possible protection for our highly tuned race engines. K&N Air Filters are fitted to all of our race cars."

Is it a crossover? Is it a hatchback? Is it an economy car? Is it a utility sedan? YES! Kia Motors' slogan, "The Power to Surprise" is personified in the Kia Soul. The Soul offers drivers an economy car capable of 30 MPG, 4 trim levels including an available Sport package with 18 inch wheels, an interior capable of accommodating both drivers and passengers with ample legroom, standard USB/iPod interface on all models, and bold distinctive body lines that set it apart from its competitors, all for an MSRP under $20,000. Now, Kia Soul owners can amplify their self-expression in their Soul with the addition of a K&N air intake system!
K&N Air Intake System for 2010 and 2011 Kia Soul 2.0L
K&N has released a high-flow intake system (part number 69-5306TS) to fit the 2010 and 2011 Kia Soul with the 2.0L four cylinder engine. The K&N cold air intake replaces the Soul's original air box, air filter, and air delivery tube with a free-flowing, low restriction system which includes an open-element washable K&N cotton air filter (part number RU-4990). By changing the restrictive original components to a high-flow, low restriction design, K&N engineers were able to unleash an estimated 5.13 HP at 5300 RPM in the Kia Soul.
This added performance comes as a result of a mandrel-bent aluminum tube, which K&N engineers designed specifically for the Soul's engine compartment. The K&N tube has a powdercoated silver finish for an attention-grabbing appearance under the hood, and attached to the tube is a washable, reusable K&N air filter, which can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary. This combination provides the Soul's engine with ample air flow and excellent dust and dirt protection. In fact, the 69-5306TS system is backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty. See https://www.knfilters.com/warranty.htm for more information. The K&N system is also very easy to install using simple hand tools, and includes step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions.
With the first real hot and steamy event on tap for the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Series, NHRA Pro Stock competitor Allen Johnson had a little extra in his back pocket heading into the Atlanta Dragway event.
Allen Johnson wins NHRA Pro Stock in Atlanta
The Tennessee based Johnson not only tested early in the season at the site of the NHRA Southern Nationals, in Commerce, Georgia, a facility he and his team consider their second home track, but also even more recently in the weeks just prior to the national event.
"We tested down there last month and really thought we had a good handle on it," noted Johnson. "We found some more horsepower here lately and we really felt good about going down there and grabbing the poll and even winning the race."
NHRA Pro Stock competitor Allen Johnson
After posting the best numbers of anyone in both Pro Stock qualifying sessions on Friday in his 2010 Dodge Avenger, including his 6.634 ET in the second session, by time Johnson got to the fourth and final session on Saturday, he and his team were confident of their position and went into test mode.
"The weather did get worse and the last session we really didn't make a good run at all," he explained. "We didn't think anybody could get the poll from us during that fourth session, so we sort of tested a bit in session. Mike (Edwards) did make a good run at it, but the weather was quite a bit worse."
Johnson's second session pass (6.634) did hold as the number one run of the event, marking his first poll of the 2010 season and the eighth of his career.
With only four NHRA National events remaining for Pro Stock drivers to gain points during qualifying for the coveted 2010 K&N Horsepower Challenge, the 2008 crown holder sits comfortably in the number four position, thanks to his latest number one qualifier and a string of consistent race day position starts since the beginning of the current season.
"I think we would be number two, if it hadn't been for the DNQ's at the end of the 2009 season," said Johnson. "And those really cost us a bunch of positions in the Challenge."
As the biggest single payday in all of NHRA Pro Stock, "The 2010 K&N Horsepower Challenge" means quite a lot to the entire class, Johnson included.
"I hold the K&N Challenge in highest regard to everything, with the exception of the Pro Stock Championship itself," continued Johnson. "What K&N has done for the sport and our class is fantastic."
Not only will the top seven qualified Pro Stock drivers, with the eighth selected by fan vote, compete for the 2010 challenge scheduled to take place during the NHRA event in Norwalk, Ohio next month, but eight lucky fans will get to take part as well in their own way and even be teamed with a driver to root for.
When Johnson won the Challenge along with the $50,000 check in 2008, Edward Merry, Jr. of Virginia Beach, Virginia, the Sweepstakes fan that was paired with him won really big, too.
"It was really cool," said Johnson. "Ed has actually stayed in touch somewhat for the last couple of years and it was real fun watching him win when we won, too."
There are still just a few days left to enter for your chance to win in "The 2010 K&N Horsepower Challenge" Sweepstakes. Deadline for entry is Monday, May 24, 2010.
