BRAND SCORES NATIONAL WIN LEADING INTO CO-LINE EVENT THIS WEEKEND 

Dale Brand was able to derail the Alcohol Funny Car train that is Laurie Cannister, handing her only her third round loss of the season in IHRA competition in the final at Tulsa Raceway Park. Cannister has all but clinched the 2008 IHRA AFC world championship, but for one day Brand was at the top of the heap. He set a track record in the final round, clocking a 5.764 at 247.29 mph. 

“That Cannister team is awesome, Dale is a great tuner and Laurie is a great driver,” Brand said. “But this weekend was the performance this car has been capable of all year. We’ve been struggling dramatically with our consistency, but Eric Brand really had this car consistent and in great shape this weekend.” “Our entire crew performed flawlessly this weekend so we’re very proud,” he said. “Any time we can beat Laurie’s team it’s pretty fulfilling.”

Brand will take on another Iowa based supercharged Funny Car (Lance Van Hauen) this Saturday at the Co-Line Goalsetter Labor Weekend Spectacular at Eddyville Raceway Park. In addition to the Funny Car match race, there will be the wild Pro-Mods and Benny "the human" Bomb in his first (and maybe last) appearance.

The feature show is Saturday at 6 PM. Adults are a recession kicking $15 with kids (6-12) only $5. Make it a great labor weekend and visit us at ERP!
