Does anyone know who is tuning Mike Lewis' TAD this weekend? Very impressive runner-up finish! In the past I believe he was tuned by Conway.

Don't believe they call it Samsel brothers

Don't believe they call it Samsel brothers

Samsel family would be more accurate.

Mike has always impressed me with his driving. Hated to see him red-light away the final with an stout run like that.

Me too. Man, Mike has been around the sport for decades. Here is a picture from 1972 photo shoot,
Super Stock & Drag illustrated. Mike and Ken Lewis and there "Sparkling Burgundy" fuel dragster.
Here on the West Coast we had Drag Racing USA. If you wanted to keep up with the happenings on the
Eastern Seaboard, SS & DI was a must.

I completely forgot about that car untill I saw that photo.
It was a beautiful car.

I remember watching Robin Samsel and crew working for years and years in the early days of A/Fuel getting a handle on making that combination work. It's great to see all of that long and hard work paying off for them. They have always been a great bunch of guys.
