Denton, Tx -- The Applied Tool and Supply / TigerFlow
Top Alcohol Funny Car Team of Nancy Matter recently became the recipient
of the team's first win at North Star Dragway in Denton, Texas. The
event was the second anniversary of North Star's July Spectacular
Racing event. The eighth mile event included Nitro Burning Altereds
along with Aaron Tatum and Brandon Lewis's (piloted by Kate Harker)
Top Alcohol Dragsters.
The match race was contested by Matter and fellow competitor,
Jim Phillips, who traveled down from Southern Indiana for the event.
Both Teams were vying for the best two out of three passes with
extremely quick servicing times between rounds.
"We made three passes in less than four hours and we were down two
crew guys" notes Matter. "Jeremy one and Jeremy two, along with myself
all did double duty to make sure everything was done before we were
rushed up to the lanes for the next lap."
"Jim Phillips and I were one to one going into the third
pass which made it really great for the fans. We ended up with
the win from the third pass with a pedaling job of 4.04 at close
to 190 miles per hour in the eighth to Jim's time of 4.22 at just
over 180 miles per hour."
Matter's team is very motivated and are looking forward to their
next NHRA race which will be contested in the middle of August.
In addition, Matter is in the developmental stage of having her
own clothing line that will be available soon. |
