#racecarfriends!!

There is nothing cooler than pulling up to your hotel and seeing a #racecarfriend! 

The first racer we have seen at a hotel is a 5 time drag-n-drive participant, Mike Conforti! I immediately noticed the Rocky Mountain Race Week banner! Then the Pennsylvania plates! This is my kind of guy, he’s not afraid to travel to participate in these style events. 

“Built for drag-n-drive”

As we walk in to the hotel, Mike is walking out. That’s when I learn the car is a 408 LS with enough nitrous to run 9s, a 4L80 transmission and a Strange 9inch rear axle, does it get more drag-n-drive than an overdrive transmission???? When asked what his goal was for the week, Mike replied, “I’ll enter the 11.00 class and then make a hero pass on Friday.”
