FLAME-FILLED
SUNSET
Funny Car standout Ron Capps leaves the starting line during preseason
testing as the sun sets at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park near Phoenix.
Much has changed since that test session, from track prep to Capps and his
Rahn Tobler-tuned team going back to the 5-disc clutch system, but the
2016 world champion continues to perform at an elite level. Capps picked
up his 60th career Funny Car win - and 61st overall win - at the recent NHRA
Carolina Nationals at zMAX Dragway, jumping back into the title conversation
after a slow start in the Countdown to the Championship. Capps and his DSR
team also continue to be a model of consistency in the talent-filled class.
