Dixon Does It Again! Wins the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indy

Larry Dixon arrived at the NHRA U.S. Nationals with a 30 point lead in the top fuel championship chase. The lead was his reward for being #1 for the first portion of the 2010 season.

The U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis is known as the "Big Go" and thought of as the Superbowl of drag racing. With a tough field and every driver and team wanting the edge, Indy is important. Dixon was qualified #1 and used that momentum towards the win.

Dixon and the Al-Anabi team have now reached a milestone of 10 finals in a single season and this his 102nd final places him atop the record books.

Way to go Larry! We know it is because he rides on bonspeed wheels and wears a bonspeed/Bonneville watch!

Dixon Does it Again - Win #8 in Sonoma!

Larry Dixon captured Top Fuel win #8 last weekend in Sonoma, California. Already in the number one position, this win gives him a commanding lead. Sonoma, California is perfect in July and the win made the wine country even sweeter.

It was made even better because we were on-hand to watch Larry grab the Wally and the additional points towards the 2010 NHRA Championship.

As I mentioned above, we were in Sonoma for the Fram Autolite NHRA Nationals and bonspeed Girl; Charlotte was there too. During the awards ceremony Larry pulled Charlotte in the winners circle to hold his Wally Trophy and get a photo. Since it was her birthday, he also presented her with the coveted and rare Top Fuel winners hat.PICTURED BELOW:

Super Chevy Magazine Shootout- Features Hotchkis Wagon

Super Chevy Magazine invites the suspension gurus and chassis specialists out for a day of hard charging action. They call this the Super Chevy Shootout and manufacturers all bring out the best they have.

Now you would expect that these would be Camaros, Mustangs, Cudas and anything that comes to mind when we speak autocross, road courses and such.

This year Hotchkis suspension showed up with this rare 2-door Malibu wagon. While preparing the car they called Nitto for tires and bonspeed for the all important wheels.

With just a week to prepare our factory went into high gear and machined a set of pro-touring, road course worthy 18" Crokus style wheels with big back pads to clear the massive brakes.

The wagon did tremendously well, but you will need to catch a spring 2010 issue of Super Chevy magazine for the results and tech specs on the car.

If you want your Super Chevy to handle like a pro-touring champion you can always call bonspeed so we can build you a set of wheels!
