September 17-19, 2021
Josh Hart (Top Fuel), Kyle Koretsky (Pro Stock) and Angelle Sampey (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also picked up wins at the 15th of 20 races during the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season and the second race in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.
After coming close on a couple recent occasions, Sampey broke through with the victory in the final round in Pro Stock Motorcycle, chasing down Joey Gladstone with a run of 6.861 at 196.62 on her Mission Foods/Vance & Hines Suzuki. Sampey was late on the starting line, but she had enough at the finish line to slip past Gladstone, earning her first win this season and 44th in her career. She took out Ryan Oehler and then teammates Andrew Hines and Eddie Krawiec to reach the final round, also moving to second in points behind Steve Johnson.
“I’ve struggled this year on the Suzuki. It’s been a rocket ship and I’m getting close to where I need to be,” Sampey said. “This race, I didn’t think I was going to make it to the final. I wanted to win it for my team and I feel like we raced our butts off today. I’m very excited and proud to have my win light come on, and I definitely dedicate this Wally to southern Louisiana.”
Gladstone reached the finals for the second time this year after defeating Jianna Salinas, Cory Reed and points leader Johnson. Sampey pulled to within 17 points of Johnson, with defending world champ Matt Smith 30 points back.
The NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series returns to action Sept. 24-26 with the NHRA Midwest Nationals at the World Wide Technology Raceway in St. Louis.

This is the first time Reed and Gladstone have faced each other in eliminations. Gladstone gets out of the gate first and starts pulling away. Reed starts to make up ground at the 330 foot mark, continues to gain ground, but Gladstone hangs on for the win. In the shutdown area, Reed starts drifting to the right. He leans hard, trying to get the bike back over to the left. He crosses in front of Gladstone, the bikes come in contact with each other, then Reed’s bike flips around and becomes airborne. Reed comes off of the bike, Gladstone ducks and avoids the rear of the bike, then Reed hits the track. The word from the top end, Reed is okay and talking to medical personnel. |

Johnson turned in another standout day on his Mac Rak/Slick 50 Suzuki, improving from Friday’s run and qualifying No. 1 with a stellar pass of 6.788 at 197.74 in Pro Stock Motorcycle. It gives Johnson his second No. 1 qualifier this season, marking the first time in his career he has qualified No. 1 two times in a season. The points leader dominated in qualifying, making the quickest run in all three sessions and taking plenty of momentum into eliminations. Johnson is after his second straight win in the playoffs and following his impressive performance in qualifying, he feels good heading into raceday.
“I love the education of this. I’m learning so much,” said Johnson, who also won the spring race at Charlotte earlier this year. “We were pretty darn proud of that run and I’m proud as heck with how we’re running. I’m extremely pleased with this and we’ve never run like this before. It was all really, really small adjustments. The first run (Saturday), we got to learn from Q1 and we made little tiny adjustments and I rode it better.”
Angelle Sampey qualified second with a 6.848 at 195.05 and defending world champ Matt Smith is third, going 6.851 at 199.40 on his final qualifying run.

Things continue to roll in a great direction for Johnson, as the points leader vaulted to the top spot on his Mac Rak/Slick 50 Suzuki with a strong run of 6.807 at 196.47. It was a run that separated himself from the competition in Pro Stock Motorcycle, as Angelle Sampey qualified second with a 6.848 at 195.05.
If it holds, Johnson would qualify No. 1 for the second time this season and sixth time overall. It would also mark the first time in Johnson’s career that he has qualified No. 1 twice in one season. It would be the latest mark in Johnson’s impressive season, as he has two victories and leads the Countdown to the Championship for the first time in his career.

Melbourne, Australia – Jul. 22, 2021
Ask any CISO what one of their main strategic goals is, and their answer is likely to be “reduce the attack surface.” But Gordon Lawson’s team at NetAbstraction has taken the idea and run with it — delivering a platform that not only reduces the attack surface, but makes it disappear altogether.
The company’s patented cloud-based network filtering technology provides an “obfuscation layer” that allows companies to hide their own networks from the Internet at large — disguising and mixing up network pathways to prevent cybercriminals from using them to trace a path back to the company.
It’s an idea that emerged from the company’s founding in the intelligence community, Lawson, NetAbstraction’s CEO, told Cybercrime Magazine, “and our goal is really to bring some of those techniques — obfuscation is a large part of that — into the corporate realm.”
Obfuscation offers particular appeal for applications like malware-protected browsing, threat-intelligence sandboxes for security operations teams, and others who need to go online reliably and secretively.
Operating under the mantra “if they can’t find you, they can’t attack you,” NetAbstraction has secured seven patents for the techniques developed by COO Michael Sever — a 33-year CIA veteran who is responsible for the company’s technical development.
“Think of us as the nexus of SASE, zero trust, and cloud security,” Lawson explained. “We’re touching all of those areas by obfuscating the network.”
The company’s protections can be managed at the individual employee level — making it easier for employees to hide their IP address, geographical location or information about their browser — and can also make user browsing sessions “malware-protected.”
“We will actually spin up VMs that won’t be tied back to the company,” Lawson explained. “It’s a totally separate environment, and folks can go about their work and be more confident that things like ransomware are not going to affect their day-to-day business continuity.”
Obfuscation is becoming increasingly important for companies that have developed increasing security analysis capabilities in-house, where threat researchers and incident responders are regularly conducting their own investigations into current and possible threats.
“We view that as a fundamental liability that needs to be addressed,” Lawson said, “so we set up a controlled, obfuscated, anonymized environment that will never be tied back either to that company, or to NetAbstraction.”
Yet for all the value of its technology, Lawson admitted, the company still has a long way to go before it becomes a household name. “We have some amazing world-class clients, but a lot of the industry has never heard of us,” he admitted.
“We are continually maturing our product development and engineering teams, and we’re going to hire aggressively for those in coming months.”
Eyes on the blue sky
That growth strategy also includes the introduction of new outside expertise at the board level, with the company recently welcoming the board appointment of Dave DeWalt and Spencer Tall of AllegisCyber Capital — which invested $9 million in NetAbstraction during a recent Series A fund-raising.
“While NetAbstraction is a relatively young company, it’s actually a much more mature company from a technology standpoint than you might believe,” DeWalt — who also works as managing director of cybersecurity investment house NightDragon — said in explaining AllegisCyber’s interest in NetAbstraction.
“Having its roots in government, and being able to work with the intelligence community on missions and operations, it had to be an incredibly scalable product. It’s not a small-p product; it’s a big-p Platform — and it’s ready for prime time from a go-to-market point of view.”
“Every single web and cloud gateway should have an abstraction layer in front of it so that you can reduce the attack surface,” he added. “The biggest vulnerability is the idea of source IPs because you actually have an anchor IP, and everybody can figure out your IP address; if you don’t try to obfuscate that and reduce that attack surface, it becomes a problem.”
One condition of AllegisCyber’s investment was that the company add “a very professional CEO to drive us to the next level,” DeWalt said, with Lawson brought on to help propel NetAbstraction onto a growth trajectory.
Healthy growth trajectories are nothing new for DeWalt, a former McAfee president, CEO and director who was appointed as CEO of fast-growing security firm FireEye in 2012 — and led the company from $10 million in revenues to $1 billion in a three-year period.
“I knew I had a window I could execute in where we were just a go-to-market problem versus a technology problem,” DeWalt explained, “and that’s what I see here with NetAbstraction: I see technology and a team there. Now it’s a go-to-market problem about how we create partnerships and customers, and expand what we’re doing.”
Having DeWalt on the team has proved helpful for Lawson, who said “the way that he connects the dots on trends — not only in cyber, but across national security and across public policy — is very, very interesting and helpful to us.”
As a new CEO, Lawson has been working across a range of areas including building out the company’s Board of Advisors — whose first members were announced in late June.
“Sometimes a CISO who I may not know very well isn’t necessarily going to return my call,” Lawson said. “But when I say that Dave DeWalt is on the board, the probability of that call being returned goes up quite a bit.”
DeWalt’s advice is indispensable to a CEO, and telling for anyone following the space: “My strategy as a CEO previously and now as an investor is win the government, win the market.” NetAbstraction’s founder and chairman of the board, Barbara Hunt, has more than 20 years of experience in the intelligence community — one more reason to keep an eye on this fledgling company.
