Nothing captures the nostalgic vision of drag racing’ s days gone by like a pair of legendary Fuel Altereds at Kentucky’ s historic Beech Bend Raceway. Third-generation Fuel Altered driver Kyle Hough piloted the“ Nanook” car to the win over veteran driver Ron Hope in the iconic“ Rat Trap” entry. Both drivers were competing in a match race at the NHRA’ s National Hot Rod Reunion.
