AutoWorld 1 24 Spencer Massey Prestone 2011 NHRA Top Fuel Dragster

This is the AutoWorld 1/24 Spencer Massey Prestone 2011 NHRA Top Fuel Dragster! It is a replica of the rail that Massey has piloted all season long for Don Schumacher Racing! From shoeracing.com: Spencer Massey, winner of the 2009 Southern California Auto Club?s Road to the Future award as the top NHRA professional rookie, enters his second full season of Top Fuel competition in the hunt for a championship. Spencer finished sixth in the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel standings on the strength of two national event wins ? Joliet and the second Las Vegas race ? and an Atlanta race he contested from the pole and lost a close final round in a pedal fest. He made it into two other final rounds ? Reading and the fall Pomona race - on his way to a 32-20 round record for the season. One of the driving skills Spencer brings to the Fram/Prestolite Top Fuel team is superb reaction times. During his exemplary rookie campaign, the Texan was first off the line some 89 percent of the time and posted an average 0.56-second R/T, quickest in the class! When Spencer is not blasting down the 1,000-foot NHRA strip he can be found either working on cars or fishing. Hooked on drag racing since he was four years old, he has crewed on alcohol dragsters competing in both NHRA and IHRA events (and driven in these, as well), and worked on other racecars since his teens. For years he has also applied his automotive technical skills to buying used trucks, repairing them and selling them at a profit, going as far as a partnership in a used-truck operation. The other way he unwinds between races is bass or catfish fishing with his buddies. Fans wanting to catch a glimpse of Spencer off the track this season should be alert when traveling the nation?s highways. He will be commuting to most of the races in a 2003 Dodge Ram pulling the 33-foot travel trailer which is home away from home during the season.
