DEFENSE MODE

Ethan Steding, son of PDRA Pro Boost veteran Kurt Steding, performs post-run maintenance on his roots-blown P2 Contracting“ College Fund”’ 24 Camaro following a qualifying pass at the PDRA Mid-Atlantic Showdown. The next day, Steding raced to his first win of the season.

The 18-year-old construction specialist ended the PDRA season by winning three times in four final rounds to secure his second consecutive PDRA Pro Street world championship. He later made his Pro Mod debut and plans to join his dad in Pro Boost this year.
