Keith Rizner's 1970 Mustang
Keith is from Peyton, Colorado and this is his 1970 Mustang . He states it's a home built race car that started life as a plain Jane stock
302 , with a C4 transmission. He built the Mustang in his two stall garage. He
first back halved it and installed a 429 with a C6 transmission . After
battling cooling issues he decided it was time to go to a fully TIG welded tube chassis and take the car even further.
Fast forward to today, Keith is now running an A460 block that’s 598 cubes , with SCJ heads that have been ported & larger valves were installed .
A Trick Flow
intake and a Pro Systems 1250cfm Methanol carburetor finishes off the top end .
The Powerglide is long gone, and now a turbo
400 handles the shifting duty's and a Hughes 5,500 stall converter keeps the engine in it's sweet spot . All the power goes to a Strange 9” rear
with 4.29 gears suspended by a 4 link, and Viking double adjustable coil overs.
He placed 2nd in the Fall Series of 2019 at Bandimere Speedway . He said he had major neck surgery in 2020 and plans to make a big comeback in 2021!
Keith would like
to thank his wife whose his best friend and also his number one fan, his
son & his wife and his grandchildren for all their support !
He's always looking for new sponsors to keep the operation going.

Brad McBride Racing
Brad McBride is the builder and driver of this 1963 Type 3 Fastback, known as Blitzkrieg. Photo credit Jason Reiss/PDRA Brad McBride is the builder and driver of this super cool and fast Type 3 Volkswagen. Brad has been around racing his whole life. His father owned land that's now the pit area beside Piedmont Dragway in North Carolina. His father raced a roadster and later raced a top alcohol funny car called the Starr Rider well into the 1990's. So you could say it was in Brad's DNA that he was destined to be a drag racer. We asked Brad how he started racing and what his earliest memories were. He stated the first thing he raced was 20" Schwinn 5-speed bike when he was 12 or 13 years old. Even early on he was a fabricator and equipped the bike with wheeli...
Scott Robinson's "Bionic Wasp" 68' Camaro
Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off. Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him. The father and son ...
Butch Hill's 1939 Ford Coupe
Like most gear heads in his age group, Butch Hill notes that while growing up, he took a particular liking to hot rods as a result of the influence from his father, Don. He was known as the Hill-Boys Race Team in the dirt/asphalt racing circuit. Although his involvement with hot rods came from his father. His mother, Marilyn, was one of his biggest fans and supporters. Butch made frequent trips to the drag strips to check out what was running. The “look and power” of those cars was something that intrigued him. Needless to say, he was always on the hunt for cool hot rods. In 1978 Butch was driving through a local neighborhood and noticed a 1939 Ford Coupe in a driveway. He decided to stop and ask if the car was for sale. The owner answered the door and agreed to sell it to him. After a quick look-over, the deal was done . He dove into his new purchase with a tune up on the 396 big block Chevy ...
