On this
episode of the NHRA Insider Seattle Top Fuel winner Steve Torrence
and Funny Car runner up JR Todd join host Brian Lohnes to talk
about the race, the Western Swing, and all the fun that comes with
the intense competition of professional drag racing.
JR Todd is on
the show first and he talks about how his DHL team has managed to
make three semi-finals and a final round over the course of the
last five races. This forward march has changed the team’s fortunes
after they hit a lull following a disastrous Winternationals. With
Sonoma looming this weekend, a race they have won before, the team
may be poised for that big breakout weekend we have all been
waiting to see. Todd talks about the whole Kalittla organization
seemingly gaining steam at the same time.
Steve
Torrence, fresh off his Seattle win talks about a multitude of
topics including the Mission 2Fast2Tasty Challenge, which he won,
the difficulty of eliminations, and the whole attitude and
perseverance of his CAPCO Contractors team. Torrence has great
perspective on his season, his career, and his motivations to
continue succeeding in the short and long term. A fascinating
discussion with a four time champion now leading the points toward
a hopeful fifth.
Great
conversations, both!
