Dylan Northup Jr. Dragster 3156

My name is Dylan Northup my Dad and Mom bought my first Jr. dragster for me when I was 8yrs. old. My first year of racing we raced at Kilkare Dragway, an Iron Man at Tri-State Division 3 Finals at Wabash Indiana and Edgewater Dragway. A friendTodd Filson told us about this track in Norwalk, Ohio that was really cool. That next year we hooked up our homemade 26' trailer to our 2002 Olds Bravada and headed north! Oh my gosh.....
We pulled up to this track that was having an asphalt parking lot poured. We're talking big parking lot. This place was amazing. It had just become an NHRA track. We met up with Todd and Payton Filson, Pat and Ben Browder and went racing. We fell .in love with Summit Motorsports Park Norwalk Ohio. The rest is history!
It's the first and only track we have been in the points series in. My second year I got 1 winner, 2 finals , three semi-finals trophies, was runner-up in points (Jake Shoop was the winner) and got the coolest trophy at the banquet. The banquet, oh my gosh..... It was at The Kalahari Resort in Sandusky. It was in a ballroom with the Champions tables up on stage. The Champions and owners Mr. Bill Bader Sr. and Mr. Bill Bader Jr. were in tuxes and everyone was very dressed up. I came in second that year and won a cool trophy!
My second year was so so.............
