The light was just right when I was loading up Sunday afternoon to do a little photo shoot with the Dragster!

Took the Win and some money last night in the 2nd Southwest Super Quick series race! Car is running strong with all the changes we’ve made! Went to the semi finals in the 1st SWSQ race. Made it to round three of eliminations in the ADRA series. Where the starter broke at the ready line. Was able to get a new starter from another racer to keep racing in the 2nd SWSQ race!

Well we runnered up last night in Super/Pro! -.002 red in the finals, OUCH! I did a lot of “driving” and had a lot of luck! This time last year was the last time my dad and I would ever race together, so it was pretty special night. From finally being able to use his old chaparral trailer to driving his car. Just and awesome night (morning) with the best Family and Friends out there! Cant thank Travis Sturgil enough for all your help and support last night! Thank you Brian, for everything Brotha! Thank you for all the advice Billy Kidd! Special Thanks to Dons Hot Rod Shop! (Don’t mind me not knowing how to spell it was 3am lol)
