First off- my car
2002 Spitzer 4-link jr.dragster
Some pics from Great lakes this year...
about 4-5 feet out, and theres still wrinkle in the tire
Also raced in Byron a couple times
Not sure if anyone has heard of the ADRL or not? its a dragracing sanctioning body, similiar to the NHRA. Except this league, is all 1/8 mile outlaw door cars. I'm doing 7.90@82mph in the 1/8. These cars are doing 3.72@205 in the 1/8. Crazy stuff, oh and on 10.5" tires! Anyway, the owner of the ADRL, has a kid who runs jr's. So he includes them in the event. In order to get in to the 16 car field, you have to call ahead. For example, the St.Louis race, we called 3 months in advance, and were number 18 on the list. we ended up making it in. its just a first come irst serve type thing. The qualifying goes by reaction time. I was #9 with a .041. So, these races PACK the stands just like an NHRA race. Below, are the pictures from the ADRL race in St.Louis. Actual track name, was Gateway Raceway, in Madison, Illinois. Notice all the people? 63,482 strong I was racing in front of
I was on tv as well, it aired on the versus channel if anyone gets that channel. My Dad was about ready to run this dude over.
Car I beat first round, #8 qualifier. Kicker her ass on the tree, .011 to a .121.

Next stop, was another ADRL race. This one in Columbus Ohio.
Camera boom. Whenever I ran the left lane, the camera was all in my face as I was doing my burnout and staging, really cool.
