I am glad to report our Boss Mr Steven Fereday is ok. He was sitting at number 3 qualifier in the biggest Drag Radial Race of the year in Valdosta Georgia at Lights Out 8 event when he had a horrible fire in Q2. It was a freak event that caused the fire. We are just glad he is ok and back at the shop on the Dyno tuning cars.

Just thought I would share with you guys because Steven always talks about safety. This is the perfect example of walking away un-harmed from an event that could have had him laid up in the Hospital if it was not for him wearing his proper gear and having a fire suppression system on board.

I was really worried about him when I saw this over the weekend! It looks like he's smoking when he gets out of the car... had to be pretty intense. Is anything on the car salvageable?

Holy crap, it looked like it pulled the wheels 1/2 way down the track and slammed back on the track causing sparks. That's some serious HP when you lift the front. Glad he is OK

Ya, he has done it before. Its what happens when you hook up 5000HP.

That boy has come along way from playing on the street when we were young.
