Courtesy of LHP Racing

Buzzards Bay, MA Tuning consultant Lonnie Houde with LHP Racing had one of his best weekends at the race track this past weekend as he helped get Rod Burbage, owner of Spec Rite Torque Converters, secure the biggest win of his racing career.

This was the first year Burbage had been to the Street Car Super Nationals event since changing his whole engine combination 3 years ago and he wasn’t coming to have fun, he was dead set on winning. The 2-time West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association champ strung together four (4) 6-teen passes during qualifying with the best being a 6.15 placing him 6th in the 32 car qualified ladder.

During the first round of eliminations on Sunday, Houde and Burbage set a new personal low ET for their weekend with a 6.13 round win over Garrett Richards. After the first round of all “heads up” classes it was decided to switch the entire event to 1/8th-mile due to strong wind gusts and cold temperatures which put up safety concerns for the track and event officials.

Lonnie Houde has experience of tuning screw blown engines on the 1/8th-mile after working for many ADRL Pro Extreme teams, but it would be a new game for Burbage who only has ran 1/4-mile events. Rod knew he had to be on his game on the tree and he stepped it up. In the second round he got a win over Shawn Jones with a soft 4.10.
