BACK IN BUSINESS Kurt Steding’s Roots-blown P2 Racing 2016 Corvette heats up the slicks before making a pass in Outlaw 660 competition at Dragway 42. The historic Ohio strip reopened this spring after it was purchased and completely renovated by northern Ohio businessman and drag racer Ron Matcham and his family. Racing at the Outlaw 660 Rock-N-Race event, Steding qualified No. 1 and earned the Pro Modified win over local favorite Matt Hutter, who was fresh off a 2-race win streak at Thompson Raceway Park’s Asphalt Wars and Summit Motorsports Park’s Night Under Fire.
