About FastMover Motorsports

Chris Matters is the owner of FastMover Motorsports. Chris' interest in racing started in High School after attending a street car night, Midnight Madness, at MIR one Friday night. A few years into college he made his first jump in the racing scene. His first car was a 1986 Mustang GT, which he cut his teeth in racing with. After graduating from college he continued his love for the sport getting into the sport compact scene with his V6 powered Ford Contour SVT. This was also the year Chris turned his love and his education into a skill, as Chris stepped into the announcer booth at the famed MIR tower. Just two year after that he returned to the track with a Saleen S281, #02-350. The quest for more power led Chris to sell that one and buy his current steed, a 2006 Saleen S281 S/C, #06-517.

Chris immediately saw instant results with his S197 supercharged mustang. Wearing a full Saleen road race suspension, brakes and 20 inch wheels Chris was able to run a best ET of 12.417 in 100% factory trim. Communications with representatives at Saleen informed Chris of the impending launch of Speedlab, which Chris was given the opportunity to be a part of. Chosen as a team driver Chris' Saleen was sent to Freehold, NJ where Jim D'Amore of JDM Engineering went to work to prepare the car for action in the Ultra Stang class in the Fun Ford Weekend Series in 2007. With minor upgrade to the exhaust, air intake/mass air meter combo, fuel system and S/C pulley a spin on the Dynojet yielded the Saleen 484 RWHP. Chris showed up in Orlando ready to prove that Saleen had not made a mistake. After qualifying the car in the top half of the field, Chris made his way thru the field ultimately pitting himself in the finals against a FL local, with quite a racing resume, where Chris gained the advantage off the starting line and ran down his opponent to take the strip for the 1st ever national win for Team JDM and Saleen Speedlab!

Chris and his Saleen has appeared on the 2007 Pinks All Out from MIR, the car has been twice in 5.0 Mustang and Superfords magazine for Technical articles and appeared in Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords in 2008 after Chris' return to the FFW series season opener.

FastMover Motorsports will be competing in the RED HOT X275 drag radial class this year. New partner, JPC Racing, will bring a new level of teamwork to the program. Multi-time world champion Justin Burcham will be overseeing the build and will be Crew Chief this year. 4 Time world champion Tommy Godfrey will take over the driver's seat as Chris focus' in on his announcing and event promoting. Tommy is the lead sales and parts distributer at JPC. Deadly on the tree and viscous at the finish line Tommy will be a force to be reckoned with this year.

Chris will again be the main event announcer at all the major events at MIR and will travel as the official announcer for the Pritchett Brothers Racing Ultimate Outlaws Shootout series and Donald Long's Radial Revolution, and the Holcomb Ford Civil Wars. FastMover Motorsports was a sponsor at the 2009 and 2010 U.S. Army World Cup Finals at MIR. Chris continues to entertain the fans of drag racing more than 30 weekends a year, bringing name recognition to drivers, products, and companies that make the sport what it is today.

Currently the car is at Drummond Racecars for a SFI 25.3 Chassis, which will allow the car to go into the 6 second zone and well over 200 mph!
