After a debut at this year’s March Meet, Hall and company attended several match races over the summer before returning to Bakersfield for the 25th California Hot Rod Reunion. In round one competition, however, Hall posted a career-best 6.23-second, 228mph pass, but as soon as the parachutes blossomed the force ripped the trunk and parachute system completely off the back of the car sending the front wheels in the air and Hall blasting through the shutdown with only the aid of a brake handle. Incredibly, Hall was able to bring the car to a safe stop just a few feet into the sand trap. NO HELP DRAG ILLUSTRATED PHOTO of the MONTH THE STRIPE
