MASSEY LICENSED FOR NHRA TOP FUEL
Wed, 2008-04-30 22:35
Spencer Massey got a reprieve from NHRA officials regarding additional Top Fuel licensing
runs. As soon as the NHRA processes his application, he’ll be a licensed NHRA Top Fuel driver.
Massey has been making a lot of noise on the IHRA side with two national event wins in as many races behind the wheel of Mitch King’s dragster. The car wasn’t legal for this weekend because of the mandatory back-half specifications weren’t in place.
Massey wasn’t frustrated because he had plenty of fun racing Gene Snow’s A/Fuel dragster and a quarter-final low elapsed time confirmed it. He ran a 5.242 elapsed time at 277.84 miles per hour.
“We talked to Graham Light this weekend and he said, we’d proven ourselves,” Massey said. “Of course, when Paul Smith puts in a good word for you – that helps too.”
