GRUBBY’S GOT IT Racing in front of Stringer Performance’s home crowd, Clay Millican drove his Parts Plus/Great Clips dragster to a new NHRA Top Fuel elapsed-time world record at the NHRA Midwest Nationals. The David Grubnic-tuned machine covered the 1,000-foot strip in 3.631 seconds at 330.39 mph to set the new standard for the sport’s quickest category. “That run is 100-percent David Grubnic doing his thing,” Millican said. “He is the baddest dude out here right now and I don’t think anybody can argue that. He does it his way; there’s no shared information and it’s done with group of young guys.” Photograph by NHRA / National Dragster Gateway Motorsports Park | Madison, Illinois | Friday, September 29, 2017 October 2017 DragIllustrated.com | D r a g I l l u s t r a t e d | 13
