Dec 2, 2021

NHRA National Tech Director Lonnie Grim and NHRA Medical
Director Dr. Phil Surface join host Brian Lohnes on this episode of
the NHRA Insider that is TRULY insider! Grim talks about how the
tech department works on race weekend and the process in developing
a new class like Factory X, the freshly announced category that has
captured the imagination and attention of drag racers
across the country. It’s a discussion on the inner workings of
a side of drag racing few people know anything about. 

 

Dr. Phil Surface is not just a racing enthusiast, he is the
man responsible for overseeing the NHRA on-site medical
services at national events and his job goes far beyond race
weekends. Working hand in hand with NHRA to develop the protocols
that allowed the sport of Camping World drag racing to resume so
quickly in 2020 and continue in 2021, this is a
fascinating conversation about not just health, but the role
that a person like Dr. Surface takes in helping to even advance
things like chassis safety and more. 

 

Two important guys in drag racing with jobs few know much
about!
