Open letter to all NHRA Top Alcohol racers regarding InsideTopAlcohol & Top Alkahaulin’ Race Coverage

First off, I hope this letter finds you and your families safe. I also hope your businesses and employment are weathering this crisis.

That said, I am trying to get a plan together on how to tackle the social media race coverage we have been doing along with continue the Top Alkahaulin’ reality show.

Just like learning to do the clutch, the first time takes you forever, and as you gradually learn it, you eventually can get it done quick.

Following that, it is our intention to produce episodes from Brainerd, Indy, Charlotte and Las Vegas. Those episodes will be condensed to following one team per episode vs. two. This will help cut down production time and based on feedback, some would rather have shorter episodes. (I...

InsideTopAlcohol's Will Hanna talked shop with EFI guru Shane Tecklenburg, comparing MFI and EFI in boosted drag racing applications. In part 2 of this multi-part series, they compare the tuning methods used by each type of injection. If you are familiar with one type of fuel injection, but not the other, we hope this talk can help you better understand how both types of injection reach the same goal - maximum horsepower and performance.
