PUT IT ON THE BUMPER Jarrod Granier rides out a sky-high wheelstand in the Lupe Tortilla SS/F ‘66 Nova during a Super Stock time run at the NHRA SpringNationals near Houston. Granier and teammate Stan Holt, founder of the Lupe Tortilla chain of Tex-Mex restaurants throughout the Houston area, bowed out in the early rounds, while Stan’s wife, Sheila, managed a quarterfinal finish in Stock Eliminator. The Holts both drive ‘66 Novas like Granier’s, and they all hike up the front wheels on the launch.
