Doug Anderson got a great launch here, but his best showing was on Friday when he lost to Dan Fletcher in the second round.

Van Greer has the perfect way to honor the memory of his famous drag racing father. Shirl Greer, who passed away in March, was the 1974 NHRA Funny Car World Champion. While his most famous race car was the “Chained Lightning” Mustang he used to win that championship, he raced a series of funny cars named “Tension” in his earlier days.
