RADesigns at The Volks Group race in samoa dragstrip memorial day weekend with our back to back pro class previous winners Gary Ratliff and Mo Lotfy with some new changes to there race program. Went untested so we had some struggles but Mo and Gary raced in the semi finals which yielded Gary a 2nd place finish.

We had a blast and look forward to going faster at the next event with cars thar are fully prepared so all we are doing is checking spark plugs and drinking from coffee mugs!

Redwood Rally chaos cruise completed!

We just finished helping Nate Walkup with his new purchased nova. Retired the entire car, converted from carb to efi along with many many other upgrades and managed to have it ready for long drag and drive.

Turned the car as slow as it would go still running 6.7 at 104 . This car has run low 5s but wanted it tame till he get comfortable.

Nate also won the specialty award to top off his day. Such a huge accomplishment in short time to top off his weekend.

The RAD nova performed well at went 6.7 @ 106 for a soft easy run. Driving 4 hrs each way before even starting the event.

Thank you to Heather Nickles and Jesse Adams for another great event. Looking forward to the next one!
