Default SMITH got runner-up @ 275 race

SMITH is back after the huge wheel stand earlier in the year that messed up some things.
took the car wednesday night to try and test and it was just blowing the tires off.
he jetted the car down and went to the 275 drag radial race at piedmont Saturday to test some more and ended up getting runner-up!
congrats
1.24 60'
5.51 @ 126
