We are getting started this morning with bracket qualifying and have some great weather this weekend with some warmer temps today.

Mod Squad Racing out of Canada runs this little Chevy powered 74 Corolla. We spoke with David Knoph about the car which is driven by his son Devon.

They have a new engine just put in the car last week, moving from a 354 cubic inch NASCAR style build to a 434 topped with a Brodix aluminum block heads and three nitrous stages. The cold track temps last night left a lot of cars struggling with the surface and Knoph was no exception, qualifying with a 6.21 at 95 MPH after getting out of shape early.
