Andy is currently 80 years old making his first trip across country in 1970 when he cruised to a show in Peoria, Illinois. Then he was driving his AMBR winning ’23 Ford T bucket. Andy certainly drives his vehicles and has made more than 2 dozen trips in a variety of hot rods, this final trip will be in a flaming purple ’32 Ford hiboy roadster built by his son Roy Brizio. He has been making these trips in this hot rod for the last twenty years! The official start of the tour left Friday September 14th from Wendover, Utah at The Bonneville Salt Flats and will be ending up in Indianapolis, Indiana for a Goodguys show there. Keep in mind these guys actually started earlier in the week from Goodguys headquarters in Pleasanton, California. 100 hot rodders of all experience levels (on long cross country road tours) are currently in the pack lead by Brizio and Meadors. As I’ve been following the tour from my office here at WMM headquarters, I dream of the day when I take my first cross country cruise in whatever I happen to be driving at the time. I’ve made 3 (about to be 4) cruises to The Texas Motor Speedway in my ’67 Imapla SS, this is just a drop in the bucket to what Andy has accomplished over the last 40 years. As the Goodguys saying goes “Ya Gotta Drive em”. I truly believe that and I enjoy every mile I put on my ride and I hope you do too!

The urban dictionary defines Bench Racing as: 1. To discuss quarter mile elapsed time of a car based on a list of modifications or horsepower estimate. 2. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine. 3. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine. While I do agree with the Urban Dictionary’s definition of Bench Racing, Bench Racing in the context of this section of the magaine will be defined as: Subscribe to Wolf Motorsports Magazine? 1.

Jeff Wolf Motorsports Magazine [email protected] Professional Pro Stock Drag Racing….. 2012 has been a good year for The Full Throttle Drag Racing Series specifically in the Pro Stock ranks. Erica Enders was the first female diver to win a “Wally” in Pro Stock. She makes history at Route 66 Dragway in Joliet, Illinois on July 1st with her first win. Erica’s winning run was 6.627 at 207 mph. Erica then went on to win in Brainerd, Minnesota, followed by another win in Seattle where Erica put the smack down on four time Champion Greg Anderson who she’s been trying to beat for years. This event (Seattle) also made history, the first time two female drivers won awards in their respective classes at the same event. The other history maker in Seattle was when Courtney Force won her first ever race in Top Fuel Funny Car. Enders and Force once again make history at the race in Indy as they both qualify for the number one spot in their respective classes. This was her second time to qualify number one for the season and fifth in her career and she did it with a 6.55 at 210.80 in her Chevrolet Cobalt! Earlier in the season at the Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte, North Carolina Erica and her GK motorsports team with the “Hardest Working Crew” award for getting her to her sixth career final round. As described above you can certainly see why they won this award. Erica is currently working on her 4th win of the season, has locked a position in the “Countdown” and is currently setting 4th in points just 10 behind 3rd place Greg Anderson and 20 behind Jason Line! They all are chasing #1 in points Allen Johnson. Needless to say I’ll be pulling for EE as she races to the seasons end!! WMM 38 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 39
