Jeff & Amy Garmon of Garmons Diesel Performance and Drivetrains sponsored Cruz last year for a few races and decided to help his team again this year..

We just had a great weekend in Gainesville FL for the Gator Nationals....


Here are a few pics from the weekend... We just finished eating dinner with Cruz... He's a pretty cool cat to hang with outside the race face his has to wear outside the track... As crew chief, tuner, & driver, he has a FULL plate...

wow, some pretty cool pics there buddy. Keep them coming.

The fastest car I saw in person was a top fuel car that ran a 4.82 (ten years ago), and it was an experience. The car was faster than anything I've ever seen. The entire stands was shaking and the noise from the car was unbelievable.

Cruz Pedregon been at the funny car game a long time, I remember watch'n him race in the early 90's. The match up of him and John Force are legendary.
