ANAHEIM, CA — Kris Krabill, car owner Gary Turner, and tuner Cory Lee are pleased with their performance at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colorado. The NAPA Auto Parts Night of Fire and Thunder was threatened by cold temps and scattered showers, but the show went off without a hitch. Kris was impressed with the crowd, as an estimated 25,000 (plus) fans braved the evening chill. Bandimere partnered with local schools in promoting a reading program for kids with tickets as a benefit. They all were treated to a four-car, round-robin-style show with Nostalgia Funny Cars and AA/Fuel Dragsters headlining an action-packed program.
Kris explained, “In our first round, we were paired with Dale Pulde’s ‘War Eagle’ and it was cool to be in the next lane with such a respected veteran.” Cory Lee tuned the Pedaler to a fine 6.31-second; 235mph pass to take the win light. Afterwards Turner’s crew was pleased to see there was no engine damage, as they seem to have their early-season breakage gremlins behind them.
The evening’s final pairing found Kris up against Jack Harris’ car from Utah, which got the best of Krabill in a close 6.12 to 6.17 contest. Krabill noted, “I short-shifted, but maybe I should have stayed with it a little longer. We have no regrets, as we put on a great show for the fans. They gave us a warm welcome and showed us how much they love Funny Cars.” Next, the Pedaler crew heads to Cordova, Illinois, in late June. Follow Pedaler Racing on Facebook.
