🏁 Our 2026 schedule is officially here! 🏁

We’re excited to be running the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series this season and can’t wait to get back on track. After a busy offseason, we’re ready to put in the work and be competitive at every stop.

A huge thank you to our loyal sponsors for the continued support and help during the offseason with new parts and pieces — we truly couldn’t do this without you.

If you or your business are interested in partnering with our team this season, we’d love to talk. Feel free to message us to learn more about sponsorship opportunities.

🏁 GALOT Weekend Recap
We wrapped up our first IHRA event at GALOT Motorsports Park, and it was a weekend full of learning, progress, and some great racing.

We struggled a bit in qualifying and rolled into eliminations #7 of 7, but the crew went to work and the car came alive. We took out the #2 qualifier in Round 1, showing what this team is capable of when it counts.

In Round 2, Brett went -.008 red but we laid down our fastest run of the weekend — 3.602 @ 212 MPH. The performance is there, and we’re leaving this weekend proud of the direction we’re heading.

Big thanks to GALOT Motorsports Park and the IHRA staff for an awesome event. We have never been treated any better at a racetrack before and can’t wait to see what next year brings.

And as always, thank you to our partners who made it possible all year.

It’s been a quiet month for us online, but not in the shop. We’ve been hard at work making some changes behind the scenes — and let’s just say, we’re not done racing yet. 🔧🔥

One more race is on the horizon… it wasn’t on the original schedule, and we’re keeping this one under wraps until we roll through the gates. 🏁

Stay tuned

🏁 Weekend Recap — Virginia Motorsports Park, our last regional of the season didn’t go the way we wanted on the track — we dropped Round 1, but not before grabbing a great .028 reaction time on the tree. With the early exit, it was still an amazing weekend all around.

We were proud to host our sponsor American Financial Network Inc - Craig Daliessio at the track and share the experience with them up close. Providing us with awesome food for the whole weekend!

It was also extra special celebrating the best team owner, Ken Winward’s birthday with family and friends right here at the races — doesn’t get much better than that! 🎂🎉

🏁 Race Recap — Epping, NH
Our weekend at New England Dragway came to an early end in Round 1 of eliminations after a red-light start and Brett had some hard tire shake down track. Not the result we were after, but that’s racing. We will get the car serviced and ready for our last regional race of the year in Virginia.

⚡ Qualifying Day Recap — Epping, NH
We made two qualifying hits today, both solid 5.48s. Had a couple gremlins shutting the car off early, but the crew went to work and got it fixed. 👊

Feeling good heading into Round 1 of eliminations tomorrow at 4 PM here at New England Dragway. Time to turn it up and go racing! 🏁
