Zizzo Maintains Points Lead
GRAND BEND, Ont. - For three out of four races, Zizzo Racing has remained atop the point standings at the Knoll Gas Motorsports Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series. Now, make it four out of five.
Despite the fact that the competition continues to get tougher and a bullseye has been placed on the Race News Magazine team, TJ Zizzo manages to out pace the field.
The MOPAR Canadian Nationals were no different. Zizzo's Friday night qualifying attempt would earn him the Last Man standing honors and five additional points when he posted an elapsed time of 4.662 seconds at 314.83 mph.

Zizzo and his team would maintain their lead during Sunday
eliminations, gaining even more ground on Bruce Litton and Bobby Lagana
while Terry McMillen kept pace. Only the hard-charging Scotty Cannon,
Jr. would make up ground on Zizzo by winning the race.
"We were pretty happy with the weekend," said Zizzo. "The car's in the trailer, everything's fine, but that last pedaling round cost us an engine and a blower. We've got a couple of engines to put together. I guess we'll just have to set up a lemonade stand outside of our shop so we can get enough money for a supercharger."
Tony Zizzo agrees with a smile, "We might be financially embarrassed for the rest of our lives, but we'll be racing."
The next stop for the Race New Magazine team is the Torco Racing Fuels Northern Nationals, August 3-5.
