For those that don't know, I have a new Top Fuel Team renting some space from me in my new building. They are a very new team and this weekend is their first race this year. It looks like they are in the event and are really hauling the mail. The name of the team is Coghlan Motorsports, their sponsor this weekend is Old River Volvo and the driver this year is Brady Kalivoda. They are second qualifier right now with a 4.49/329.42 mph pass last night. Not bad for a rookie team and new parts.

Sadly, it looks like they went up in smoke in the first round. That's drag racing, but look for good things out of these guys if they can get some decent sponsorship. I know they will run at Atlanta and Bristol.
