the program a
little different-
ly. It worked
out very well.
When
we
came back,
we won three
of the PDRA
races. We de-
buted a new car at GALOT and were 21 for 22
rounds this fall. It was very hard to stop racing,
but it was necessary for the long goal.”
Dillon’s twin brother, Cory, is the tuner for
the team and earned his recognition in 2017 as
one of Drag Illustrated 30 Under 30 recipients,
alongside Dillon.
Now that the Voss team is checking goals off
their list, they’re ready to pour themselves into
the 2018 season of Outlaw 632. Not too far out of
their sights, however, is stepping up into Extreme

“We had a rough year last year and actually

with Suncoast
Race Cars to
debut our new
car, which
didn’t debut
until the sec-

GALOT race.
So we bor-

our program.
[Last year]
we ran well
