David Childress ran an impressive 9.11 at 157.7 mph in his new age GTO. David was running in the Tremec True Street Class and Dialed in with a 9.00. That track and air has been tricky all day long causing many changes throughout the day. We have been down for quite sometime now due to many oil downs and the official’s have been working on getting the track back in racing condition. Temperature’s are dropping and the track is getting cold so this should get interesting.
