Zizzo takes shot Friday night in Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn.  -- When Zizzo Racing pulled into Memphis Motorsports Park for the O’Reilly NHRA Mid-South Nationals, the first thing they unloaded from the transporter was determination. With that determination in hand they proceeded to run a 3.978 elapsed time at 300.66 m.p.h. in the Friday afternoon session for a conditional tenth spot on the qualifying sheet after round one. They were also determined to be more aggressive and decided to take a shot at the track for the Friday evening session.
"We strapped a different supercharger on the PEAK/HERCULINER/O'Reilly car," Zizzo said. "That made the car a little more 'zippy' and we got a little more aggressive with the tune-up and just blew the tires off the car."
"We wanted to be more aggressive. We shot for the stars and now we're back down to earth," Zizzo continued. "Tomorrow will be an exciting day. We'll work on our race day tune up and get ready for Sunday eliminations."
The Zizzo Racing team is also excited about Saturday. The team will host two special guests as part of a PEAK, O'Reilly promotion where store managers will be crew members of the day.Â
"Memphis has already been an enjoyable experience for us," Zizzo said. "We had a blast at Coyote Ugly Thursday night. Now Saturday brings our friends from PEAK, HERCULINER and O'Reilly Auto Parts. We're really looking forward to putting on a good show for them. We'll be up for Saturday for sure."
