Thanks for the tour Cruz....awesome work areas, fantastic showroom, and great shop overall. Very smart to measure the needed room in order to pull the truck/trailers in fully to the shop. Will do same, if I get the 👍 sign from my crew chief (wife) to build one....albeit quite a bit smaller than yours...😆. Oh...and as I've been going to races since 64', I love most your California Charger nostalgia funny car. A work of art it is indeed (I feel the same about my 70' Duster that I run in the Heritage Series). Continued good luck, the rest of this season and into the future ✌😎.

I was so bummed, when Cruz & Tony racing together as a team went away 😟 as a kid, I watched from the stands & was running around the pits of Irwindale, OCIR, Pomona & Lyons way back when Cruz's, Tony's & Frankie's Father was racing & I remember well the "Flamin Frank Pedregon" Fiat dragster, which in person, is one of the coolest looking rails ever IMO completely different from any other I can remember from back then, or any other time for that matter 😎 I also LOVE the fact that Cruzzer taking that 92 Championship away from Force will haunt Big John till the bitter end! 😆 Very cool shop CP, keep drilling them ( especially JF ) on the tree bud, stay safe, be well & we'll see ya at the Strip 🤠👍

I remember many an afternoon, driving down Glenoaks Blvd past the San Fernando Dragstrip with my dad, and hearing the thunder from the dragsters of the 60's (and for many years, it also had a pretty decent swapmeet). A small memory of my youth that I'll cherish for all my remaining years. Funny, but I can't think of that dragstrip without thinking of one particular purple Anglia.

Drag Racing grew up as a west coast sport initially. Population shifts gave the NHRA new fans and drag strips all around the usa. There are many teams that have been headquartered in the mid west. Sponsors want access to the teams that they sponsor so being headquartered in north central usa makes sense. The cost of fuel, travel, equipment etc has added to the main shops of the financially able teams to move. No FED X in the early years of the NHRA. Formula 1 cars are flown by cargo planes around the globe. Ever hear of Connie K. Airlines ?
