New NHRA Testing Rules Brings Tom Hammonds to CDP

Tom Hammonds brought his NHRA Chevy Cobalt to Cordova Dragway Park this past Wednesday for a full day of testing in preparation for the Torco Racing Fuels Route 66 NHRA Nationals this weekend in Joliet,IL.

With the new testing rules implemented by NHRA, racers were scrambling for facilities between Topeka and Joliet.

“Tom called Tuesday morning, and we said bring it on” stated Jim “Tazz” Hines, Public Relations Director at CDP.  “We knew we could give him a National Event Track set-up, and we did”.

While only making 330’ and 1/8th mile hits, Hammonds worked out some carburetor and chassis problems he’d been having.

“Cordova gave us a great track to work on,” said Hammonds, “We’re ready for Route 66, and we’ll be back to test here when or if we need to”.
