Things didn’t go so well for Bill Lutz in the Kooks Pro Street who suffered more than his fair share of bad luck, a broken valve damaging his engine forcing Bill compete in his “backup” car on Sunday.

USA Street Car Mustang Murillo

It was always going to be a hard day for the Texas-based Mike Murillo. With the races shortened to half-track, anyone without any ADRL experience was at a disadvantage.

Murillo’s consistent performance pushed him through the quarters, then semis to eventually face Doug Sikora in the finals. Murillo’s time of 4.378 was slower than Sikora’s 4.309 but the race was won on a holeshot, with Murillo walking away with the Champion’s Title and $10,000 prize money.

Turbosmart is a long-time sponsor of Mike Murillo and we would like to congratulate Mike and his team on this outstanding achievement.
