If you’re like me you can’t believe the drag racing season is over. But that doesn’t mean that there is not a lot of drag racing going on.
Terry McMillen’s Top Fuel dragster is being featured in some Torco Race Fuels print advertising this off season (or early season depending if your glass is half full or empty). That’s pretty cool all by itself.
Something tells me that you’ll see this picture at an upcoming trade show boot or two also.
Not to be out done, Amalie Oil featured McMillen’s Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car at their booth during the APEX show in Vegas earlier this month. I wasn’t able to grab a shot of the booth since APEX doesn’t allow cameras on the convention floor, but rumor has it there is a photo floating around somewhere. You’ll see it here as soon as it finds its way to my inbox.

“Tailgating is about personalization and John’s treatment of the Freedom Grill FG-50 with paint and pin striping to match the rest of the truck looks terrific,” commented Scott Salter, Freedom Grill’s Founder. “This Silverado would really turn some heads rolling into the stadium parking lot”.
Llado was presented his award by Miss Freedom Grill 2008, Holly Weber. The Freedom Grill design award is a custom etched, full-size beer pitcher and in true tailgating fashion at the urging of the crowd Llado finished off the full pitcher at the presentation.
