Gang, here's some shots of Brett Hankins in the "Blue Blazer" AA/Fuel Altered at Sacramento Raceway. Brett was out of shape big time through the lights but managed to square things up with the world... with the help of the chutes! Shots from Pro Nitro 2002. I'll be going to Las Vegas for the Pro Nitro Nationals on February 14-16 just for the FUEL ALTEREDS alone!

Hope to see many of you there at Las Vegas Motor Speedway!
