Drag racing is dangerous. Over the years, we have seen race cars crash over and over again. The two most common safety issues with our class, Alcohol Funny Car, are engine fires and hitting the wall.

Have you been wondering if you need relationship counseling? Lots of people do. You’re not alone, Friend. Bobby and I have counseled many over the years, and are always humbled and honored to do so.
