By 1993 Keith had won 2 track championships, held many track records and won over 50 events in just his second season! In 1994, Keith obtained his NHRA License in a V6 front engine Competition Eliminator Dragster. He won the first race he competed in after securing his new license. He then competed locally with this car at southeastern bracket races. After racing this car for a short 6 months, Keith was able to win enough money to buy a Spitzer rear engine dragster. The remainder of 1994 and all of 1995 was devoted to racing the new Spitzer Dragster. Raced in the B&M Series, Million Dollar Races Car won 1st Place at The World of Wheels 2 years in a row for its class Competed with the Southeastern Drag Way Team to win the Division 2 Championship in 1993 Competed with the Atlanta Drag Way Team to win the Division 2 Championship in 1995 One of a few cars in the NHRA Super Quick 4-sec. Club In 1996, Keith won the NHRA DOT Tire Class Division 2 Final and continued to race the Spitzer Dragster successfully until the car was sold in 1998 to make way for a new Spitzer 4 Link Dragster. In 1999, Keith’s first season with the new Spitzer 4 Link Dragster, he finished in the top 10 of B&M Professional Bracket Series. He also held the national record for the fastest 4 Link Dragster; 1/8th mile - 4.09sec. And racked up over $60,000 in payouts. With our new millennium came more accolades for Keith Neal. In 2000, Keith competed in the B&M Professional Bracket Series and added a second car to his team, a Mike Boss Dragster, that was raced in the Southern Super Ten Series. He won 9 of 11 Quick 8 Dragster races with his Spitzer Dragster which earned him the B&M Quick 8 National Championship and the “Spitzer Race Cars Top Gun Award”. Also, winner of NHRA Wally @ Montgomery Heart of Dixie Nationals. Following the successful 2000 season, Keith was unfortunately the victim of a severe automobile accident. This incident sidelined Keith the better part of two years, but did not break his racing spirit. During this time he worked on Brad Brands Outlaw 10.5 Mustang as Crew Chief and continued to win races, although not behind the wheel! Brad Brand won numerous Fun Ford Events, NMRA Events, Clash of the Titan Events and held the Outlaw 10.5 record for the fastest ET and MPH for two years! Keith climbed back into a car in 2003, being hired to drive Barber Motorsports 2002 Outlaw 10.5 Mustang, winning his first race as a Outlaw 10.5 driver. Sadly, the season ended with a wreck due to a bad oil line. The car was badly burned and un-raceable. Misfortunes sometimes breed opportunities, and Keith decided it was time to build his own Outlaw 10.5 Mustang teaming up with Barber Motorsports. During the year and a half it took to build the car, Keith drove several cars ranging from bracket dragsters to automatic pro-mods. Keith debuted his 2004 Outlaw 10.5 Cobra Mustang in 2005 at Rockingham Drag way in North Carolina. With 2007 approaching, Keith gained complete ownership of the car and spent the winter months of 2006-07 updating his Mustang and getting ready to compete in the 2007 NMRA Vortech Outlaw 10.5 Series. Keith finished second in point standings at the end of the 2007 NMRA season. PERSONAL Owner of Neal’s Racing Transmissions (www.nealtrans.com).

When he’s not racing or building transmissions, Keith enjoys eating raw oysters on the beach, betting BIG at casinos, their dog Baxter and the music of the 60’s.
