The Ketchikan Kruizers car club pulled off a small coup last weekend at their Test and Tune at the Metlakatla Alaska Airport. Club Contact Gary Webb informs me that “Tamara Parks (NHRA Wally Parks grand daughter) was in Ketchikan and she came over to watch us race. She made her first ever drag car pass in my Camaro!”said Webb. Congratulations guys!
