Most of you here are close to Van Day. Remember his "Under Pressure" Dragster?
He has owned the dragster for about 15 years. The previous owner had set many records in this machine posting numbers as good as 6.80 in the 1/4 mile. It has a Pauter Big Block, Hillborn Injection, and runs on alcohol. Van has only had the dragster down the track 12 times.
Well rumor has it the dragster will reappear this year. A deal has been struck and a new partnership has been made. Mellow Insanity Racing and Van Day have teamed up to parade the dragster in the very near future. Chad Axford will handle the driving chores. Dad Wayne will be the Crew Chief and Mechanic/Tuner. I will see the dragster this weekend at Sacramento Raceway. The dragster will be recert this Saturday.
This is exciting news and sure to be the next "Buzz" in the VW Drag Racing scene.
With the likes of Dean Nilson, Jerry Matsko, Steve Phillips, and now Chad Axford in the mix, the "Orange Curtain" Fast VW's will be put to the test with these cars coming out of the north.
ps I will post pictures this weekend
