Quick 8 – Hot August Nites 2010 Feature Vehicle – Mike Kuntz and “Walking Tall”

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

We first met Mike Kuntz running Rob Murphy’s Wheelstander at 2006 Hot August Nites in Terrace.

At Terrace Kuntz made his, and the 56 Chevy Wheelstander’s, first runs down any track.

On the return run down the track Kuntz hit the throttle so hard that all four wheels came of f the track.

His new  ride is a Pt Cruiser that made it’s second appearance ever at the Houston Drags in 2009, dig the floorboards!

Mikes buddy, Hugh Ridley, who’s cars have set and still hold, the track record in Terrace, stops in to help in Houston

Kuntz made four runs down the track in Houston.

He say’s that because he can’t do a burnout, the first run up and back was the burnout

Mike Kuntz and “Walking Tall” will be featured this weekend at the “Hot August Nites”  race at the Terrace Regional Airport. More information in my column, right here, later on this week.
