Ok, so a first-round redlight (Donut) and a LBTA (me) are inauspicious ways to start a race team, at least we managed to make some lemonade by coming up with this cool name… A slide show awaits you after the jump.

It started out with two guys and a dream. A dream of seeing a win light in our lane. A dream of driving home from the track on Sunday long after sundown. A dream of not handing the guy on the other side of the tree an easy win in the first round.

An impossible dream? Apparently so. When we woke up, we founded First Round Racing, a drag racing crew devoted to realistic expectations. This is our story.
