Maryland based racer Steven Montgomery is here to run Outlaw 632 this weekend with his 1984 Trans Am.  The small tire car is powered by a Roche Racing Engines big Chevy backed and by a PTC converter.The popularity of this class is growing beyond Florida where it began as it allows some big block nitrous cars a class to compete in without spending to keep up in X275. In fact up at Capital Dragway, MIR and VMP for 2015 they will be having an OL632 No Time class sponsored by Fancis Johnsons Fast by Francis and Monster Motorsports. The no time aspect for the area is an effort to draw some grudge racers into the class. The crew from left to right,  Driver/Owner Steven Montgomery, Ronnie, Fred and Billy.
