AllStar Rug Doctor Dodge Challenger NFC Off-Season Report
Greetings. I hope your holidays were enjoyable, restful, and allowed rewarding time spent with family and friends. Ours sure 
were.
I thought I’d provide some insight to what we’ve been up to in our off-season. In the off-season, much of my spare time is spent reviewing our performance from last year and preparing for our next season of racing. All aspects are in consideration as our objectives have remained the same: an affordable, reliable and competitive program.
With the car as the centerpiece, the entire operation is under review of condition and for improvements, to include tuning, procedures, tools/pit configuration (storage, access), spare/replacement parts inventory, consumables, and transportation trailer. For us, the offseason started shortly after our return from the October World Finals in Memphis, Tennessee.
AllStar Rug Doctor Dodge Challenger Nitro Funny Car
Millington, TN – The AllStar Rug Doctor Dodge Challenger Nitro Funny Car team traveled to Memphis Tennessee’s Memphis 
International Raceway to attend the IHRA’s Summit Racing Equipment World and Nitro Jam Season Finals on 11 – 12 October. The last race of the season is always met with anticipation as it’s our opportunity to wrap up the season on a high note using all our season’s lessons learned and tune up information and our last chance to hoist the coveted Iron Man trophy which has been elusive this year.
Although our performance has continued to improve in both ETs and speed throughout the season, we’ve been unable to solve the challenge of piston/cylinder damage as a consequence of the pursuit of more horsepower. Looking toward next season’s new IHRA competitive format and with few opportunities remaining to get this figured out, this weekend I decided to set aside my normal “minor tweak” approach and take a more aggressive swing at it.
