Chassis built by
Jim Denaro
(DENARO CHASSIS)
back in 2007. The chassis was built to SFI
2.5B specifications. While the chassis is fully
slip jointed both at the front and at the rear,
adjustments can be easily made to suit different
types of track conditions. |
CREW
Running a dragster requires a dedicated crew,
and that is what we have with this dragster, a
mixture of youth and experience lets me as a
driver concentrate on driving the dragster at
each and every race meeting. Jim Denaro and
Jason Lewis have been part of my Drag Racing
Operation since I started back in the early
90's. While over the past few seasons Cassandra
Richardson has taken over as tow driver at the
track. Along with Cassandra's son Dylan who
joined the team back in 2008. |
