A Nitro Funny Car produces over 11,000 horsepower and can reach speeds of more than 330 mph. The sound, the vibration, and the raw power have to be experienced in person to be believed.

Some nights remind you why you love being part of a race team.
Good people, good conversation, and an evening spent together doing what we enjoy.
The crew was here, the lights were on, and the shop was full of laughter, stories, and teamwork. Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday evening.
