Maple, On - After what seems
to feel like a long winter away
from racing, the Alcohol Funny
Car team of Spiro Kontos is
ready to go racing. It's going
to be an exciting year for Kon
Rodz Racing.
"We're pleased to announce Randy Anderson will be back with our team for his second year as car tuner and mentor. The team has spent countless hours in the race shop doing lots of R&D. We're looking forward to bring it to the track," said team owner Spiro Kontos.
The team will be heading off for pre-season testing at the Eastern Spring Test Nationals at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, Georgia. Following testing, the team will head over to Gainesville, Florida to compete at their first national event of the season, the Gatornationals, March 8-11, 2012.
"The team has all of the right
parts and equipment for us to
run as a championship contender.
Since Randy knows this car's
performance inside and out after
working with it all of last year, we
feel that we have what it takes to
give our competitors a run for
their money," Kontos said.
"Sassy" Cassie Simonton will be competing in her third season as a driver for the Kon Rodz Racing Top Alcohol Funny Car. She has proven that she can race with the best of them. "Sassy" is truly someone who wants to bring home Spiro's first Wally.
Kon Rodz Racing would also like to welcome their newest associate sponsor, ithreesixty Music Infused Apparel. ithreesixty produces a line of headwear for the active lifestyle, including hats and sports bands that feature Bluetooth and iPod compatibility.
