    ET Finals Photo Report

    I recently attended the NHRA Division 1 ET Finals held at Maple Grove Raceway. I competed in the number 21BS position - the #1 points man for team Beaver Springs Dragway, and made it to the third round of competition. The following are some photo highlights from the race. All photos were taken by my father and crew chief, Stephen Beard. Enjoy! These image are Copyright © 1995 Michael G.
