K100 and Bauer Racing Head to Lebanon Valley for NHRA Northeast Divisional
Elma, NY – Bauer Racing will be taking their K100 Fuel Treatments backed Pontiac GTO to Lebanon Valley Dragway for this weekend’s 
NHRA/Lucas Oil Division One Event.
Team Owner/Driver, Bob Bauer was very pleased with the team’s last outing at the Norwalk Division Three event last month. “We went out in the second round pretty hard. I cut a .002 light but lost by less than five hundredths of a second when John Scali ran dead on his dial. Those ones are tough but, we were very happy with the car’s performance especially since it was the first time out since the crash last year. We still have some fine tuning to do but John at Torrelli Pro Cars did a fantastic job repairing the car and Mike Mitchell and my son Robert worked very hard to finish the final fabrication and assembly,” said Bauer.
With the teams renewed confidence in their chariot they are hoping to go more rounds in Lebanon Valley.
