January 2009

Lots of new stuff to talk about including both Bucky AND Garrett Bateman being behind the wheel of nostlgia Funny Cars. Bucky has put off bringing out the new the A/Fueler for this year, and instead put Garrett in the seat of the Plueger/Gyger Mustang. What a formidable duo they will be. Stay tuned for more news

 

2008 wrap up

What a great season for Bucky Austin and the Plueger/Austin team. It was also a great last month for the "Hitter" on a personal level, as he took over the reigns of the fabled Spokane drag strip, one of the last true outlaw tracks in the North West. It will be outlaw no longer, as the facility will be an NHRA sanctioned track with a number of NHRA events planned for the 2009 season.

More info on Next year as well as Spokane's schedule soon
