July 11th and 12th, we took the Wagon out to Pacific Raceways for the Pacific Northwest Drag Racing Association bracket series. The weather was amazing and so was the track prep.

We had a bracket race Saturday during the day and went 4 rounds before bowing out of competition.  After that, we started the Big Buck bracket race and that ended quickly when Mike Sumner strapped an .018 pack on me the first round of competition.

Sunday was a new day and things went well. We lost in the 6th round of competition against the always tough Brian McGinnis by .0011 at the stripe. I wasn’t even upset.  Good news after missing tw0 races to help Joe on the Comp car and falling from 6th in the points to 35th, we are back up to 15th in the points with the highest point total of anyone missing races.

The car is working absolutely flawlessly and I’m driving respectively well. If you have not been out to the new bracket format run by the PNWDRA, you are missing out. They have a cruise on Saturday night and a live band. The races are run efficiently, and the vibe is like the old days at the track! I would encourage everyone to check it out!

As always, I would like to thank my family and friends for their continued support, especially Paul Young and Rett Bertellotti. Without them helping keep me motivated and their help, I wouldn’t be doing this. Until next time burnouts and wheelies!  – Chris.

This weekend we took the Wagon to Pacific Raceways for the inaugural PNDRA season opener. Off the trailer we went .002 on Saturday’s first time run and a 10.10@129 mph. The car was amazing from there on out. We went 4 rounds Saturday and three rounds Sunday.

It was an great time had by all with the new racing format including a band on Saturday night and other attractions that haven’t been seen since the 70’s at Pacific. The PNDRA is doing great things to make drag racing great again! As always I appreciate my families support and all my friends that make this fun to do. Until next time burnouts and wheelies! – Chris..

We decided to take the wagon to Renagade for there Trick or Treat Shootout this past weekend. Friday TNT car ran great. Saturday morning had bad miss and that took all day to figure out.

Check valve springs, plugs, cap, rotor etc. Ended up being a bad coil wire that went open when turned just right.

Sunday doubled up in box and no box. Got cracked first round by Don Sefton . No box didn’t go any better but the car was running good. So we bought into the no box consolation race and it went well. Made to the finals after two double-O lights and a solid .020 in the right lane. Lost lane choice in the final and went .010 red ending our day. Was ok ending to a pretty good season. Four final rounds counting driving Rett Bertellotti’s car and a division win in the wagon.

Thank you to my family and friends for there support. And especially Rett Bertellotti, Rick Pusateri, Sandy Sue Pusateri, Jj Jung and Billy Roark for all the help and hospitality. Until next year! – Chris

Saturday June 14th, we took the Wagon to Pacific Raceways for the A street Automotive race. Weather conditions were perfect, and the track was also with overcast skies and cooler temps.

The wagon ran 10.10 on the first qualifying pass which was a new personal best for the car. We went on to the 3rd round against Scott the Rebuilder and his always tough Cougar. Well, I gave it away on the starting line with a red light and ended up running 10.067 on my 10.06 dial. Scott went on to runner up which was awesome.

On a good note, the car is working amazing and is consistent in doing so we recorded our quickest passes ever with the car with 1.316 60′ and 10.06 et. As always, I wish to thank my Family and sponsors for supporting me. Until next time! – Chris

Saturday May 10th was our first race at Pacific Raceways for 2025. To say it was a day full of emotions would be an understatement. First run off the trailer we ran 10.167@128.46 which was much quicker than expected. It only got quicker from there. We double entered to get data and went 10.156-10.127-10.127 back-to-back. We were ready for first round!

I got paired up with the always tuff and nicest guy in the world Gary Ensrud first round. We left together and did our thing at the finish line getting the win. Then all hell broke loose, and I see Gary sideways into the wall in my rear-view mirror. All I could think about was fuck I got to get to him!

I take the first turn-out, fly up return road and jump the wall, land flat on my back. Instant pain. Get up Gary is getting out of car and safety team is on top off the scene. They are taking care of business like the pros they are. Check Gary out and me. I’m so thankful Gary didn’t get hurt, he took a big hit.

I get back to the pits and I’m hurt but still in on both sides thinking to myself I can still drive I’m good. That’s when my crew chief Paul Young says load the car we aren’t tempting fate anymore today. So, we went home. Car ran amazing and the rebuilt trans from Rett Bertellotti works flawlessly. I’m super glad that God kept Gary safe through all this and Gary had the needed skills to not clip me going bye. It was close. We will race another day. Until next time…. Chris

On September 8-9th we took the Wagon over to Bremerton Raceways for the NHRA TV Challenge and a big 3k bracket race.

Saturday was a day of challenge because I was on the wrong side of .00x all day long. By this I mean .009 red first round then bought back in and won the buy-back round then was .004 under in round 2 of Pro.

Sunday was very good though we made it down to 7 cars left in Pro that would have gave us the bye into the final if we won. We Raced Dave Barcelone  in his beautiful Nova and lost on a double break-out.  We also went 3 rounds in Super Pro on Sunday.

It was a very fun race and as always we had a good time. I want to thank Joe Loch for towing Rett out and giving us a place to sleep and cook with his coach. It’s very much appreciated.  I would also like to thank my family and Handan Trailer Repair for supporting me also!

Until next time. Thanks! – Chris

Aug 8-11, we took the Wagon out to Pacific Raceways for the Divisional Race. The weather was hot Friday and Saturday with temps in the 90’s.

Race #1 we did very well after our win the previous race with my lights very good and the car was running very consistent with 10.3x both days. We ended up in the semi with a breakout of .004 on the brakes at the finish line.  Needless to say, we were pleased.  On to race 2.

The weather cooled Saturday, and we were ready for eliminations on Sunday.  We woke up to very cool fast weather and went into round #1. Well, that’s where it ended with me going red along with my opponent, but I went red worse ending our day. All and all I’m pleased with how things have gone the last few races. Paul has been on the dials and the car has been absolutely flawless!

As always, I want to thank my Family and friends for their support especially A-Street Automotive, Handan Trailer Repair and Rett Bertellotti  with Rett’s Performance Built Transmissions! You can call or text Rett at 1-206-498-9067.

Until next time, Chris.

Winner’s Circle, Pro Bracket, July 27th 2024, Carl Thorsett photo!

On the evening of July 27th we took the wagon out for the A-Street Automotive Gold Cup series and managed to put her in the winner’s circle of Pro Bracket. We qualified #1 and it just rolled on from there.

Paul was on the dial all night long and we were cutting the tree down with a series of .00x lights in eliminations. With the win we finally got back to where we feel we need to be. With 6 rounds of competition, it was a very competitive evening, and the final was no difference with a win margin of .0063 and a double break-out against Steve Ryland and his cool Mopar.

We feel very good going into the divisional the next race with a chance at Two Wally’s! As always, I would like to thank my Family and friends for all their support and special thanks to Handan Trailer Repair and Rett Bertellotti of Retts Performance Built Transmissions. You can call or text Rett at 1-206-498-9067.

Until next time!
