Travis Balough wins!

September 10, 2005: Randy and Travis Balough celebrate Trav's first
SoCal Super Street drag race win. The wee lad who scouted the competition when
Uncle Joe won his first professional race at L.A. County Raceway scored his own
debut win at the same track 13 years later! Trav worked at mastering the voodoo
of Super Gas drag racing for years, including crew chiefing Randy's run to the
NHRA Division 7 Championship in 2004. Kudos to Trav and his proud dad!
