LAD Automotive TAD

Qualifying round three, much better. Mike runs a [email protected] and will line up with Casey Grisel for round 1 eliminations.

1st round of qualifying did not go as well as the team would like. Mike Austin Runs 6.233/154.67 Retainer Broke so shut off to avoid damage. Sitting number 10 out of 14. Next round is at 5:50 p.m. Should be a much better run. Stay tuned......

Qualifying starts around noon Friday. At this point it looks like we have 14 cars in our class to contend with. As 16 cars fill the field the LAD Team will qualify for the event. Some strong competition this weekend.

The team is heading down to Pomona for the WinterNationals. This will be the first run of the season for the LAD Team. Wishing the team a great weekend!!!

2025 was a great year for our little team from Medford Oregon. In the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series (Western Division) we finished 5th out of 17 cars. This weekend the team travels to Pomona to close out the season. National standing for our team we sit at 16 out of 58 cars. Not bad for the small trailer team.😁

Day two of qualifying. 1st round we ran a 5.35 to sit at number 5. After round 2 we ran a bit slower at a 5.37. But no one improved so we enter eliminations at #5. Good solid runs from our team.
