Tony Rustad,
Pipestone, MN |
Tony Rustad
and crew from
Pipestone
MN
are planning on running a limited schedule with the Heartland
Racing Association Non-Wing Sprint Cars. He has sold his Xtreme
Chassis Hobby Stock which he did well with during the 2007
season, capturing 5 wins, which included the Hobby Stock Special
Title at Slayton MN, and a 3rd place finish at the Worthington
Nationals after transferring out of the "B".
He piloted a non-wing sprint car for the first time at Huset's
Speedway
on Labor Day, and improved greatly from the first lap to the
last. He said,"The hardest part to get used to is how fast the
steering turns,and how much the loud pedal either makes, or
doesn't make the car turn. You can set it SLIDEWAYS into the
turn and it feels awesome, then you feather the gas and it
wanted to hook into the wall, craziest feeling in the world,
everything happens so fast." For more information log on to the
