Team driver Brian Robbins is looking for back-to-back wins in the Run What Ya Brung category after an impressive victory at the August event running consistent 3.9-second ET’s in the eighth-mile. The team, led by Car Owner Keith Engling, has the new Hemi horsepower for 2011 dialed in and is looking to continue their winning ways at this event. Qualifying starts at 3PM on September 2nd with Eliminations starting at 730PM. Spectators are $15 at the Gate. For more info on this event, go to www.MilanDragway.com.

the video does not even come close to doing this blown hemi justice
