BAKERSFIELD 2024 - FULL FUNNY CAR ELIMINATIONS

#PEAKsquad #peakpitnote #DragRacingNews #MarchMeet
It's hard for some to believe, but it's the truth. On Sunday in Bakersfield, CA., during the most prestigious nostalgia event, the March Meet, Cory Lee, a decorated veteran in drag racing, finally won his first national event. He did so as a driver behind the wheel of Gary Turner's Challenger Funny Car.
"I've had, I think, two or three as a tuner, but this is my first as a tuner driver, so it's really exciting," Lee said.
Lee was joined in the Famoso Dragstrip winner's circle by Tyler Hester (Top Fuel) and Lyle Greenberg (Fuel Altered).
FULL EVENT REPORT - competitionplu...
Lee bought Jeff Arend in a battle of drivers with plenty of experience racing on the NHRA's Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. Arend was first off the land, but the lead was short-lived as his 5.658 elapsed time at 260 miles per hour quickly gobbled up Arend's 5.829.

[@BradVandrasik_music]

I love these nostalgia funnies. Do they use any modern electronics and computers? They seem to be running a bit quicker and faster than "back in the day"

[@rzeric]

Love that red white and black firebird. Camaros all look super stretched and skirted not so nostalgia. Congrats to winners.
