“We weren’t thinking about anything other than qualifying well and getting those five bonus points,” Castellana said.

(9/6/08) - Prior to the Amalie Oil North American Nationals everyone was predicting the first nitrous-assisted Pro Modified run in the five-second range would take place at New England Dragway this weekend. Mike Castellana (Westbury, N.Y.) and his Awesome/Al-Anabi Motorsports 1968 Firebird was the reason for this optimism.

Castellana has been churning out eye-popping numbers on a consistent basis recently, including the quickest nitrous pass in history, a 6.000. He fell just short of the magic number in Epping during Friday qualifying, but his 6.010 at 238.89 was good enough to

Andreacchi stated, 'My car was on rails through qualifying. We were just nit picking at it to try and make it better each lap. We were successful at achieving our plan and real happy about that'.

"It was a struggle all night, but we just kept on hammering" - David Campbell

When you've got a car that simply won't settle down you're suppose to lose, right? Ok, how about when your wheelie bars break, that ought end your night for sure hadn't it?
