Thursday, April 08, 2010 Bayer Scores Super Gas Win on Toyo Proxes Drag Slicks
 Thomas Bayer from Fontana, California, driver of the Lucas Oil/Toyo Tires Corvette, added another NHRA “Wally” to his collection by winning the Super Gas class during the 2010 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division 7 race at Merle’s SIR Dragway in Tucson, Arizona.
Equipped with Toyo Proxes Drag Slicks, Bayer’s 1962 Corvette survived seven punishing rounds of eliminations challenged by high crosswinds and back-to-back runs. During his final round victory, he posted a top speed in the quarter mile of 150.51 mph with an elapsed time of 10.165 seconds. Bayer won the 2006 Division 7 Super Gas Championship and has won championships in Division 7 in Super Comp in 2006 and 2009 while racing on Proxes Drag Slicks. (SB)
