Record For Eggum Racing
Stephanie Eggum is the first FWD Honda driver to break into the 7s
In the final round of qualifying at Englishtown, Stephanie Eggum ran a 7.957 at 179.52mph, making her the first Honda in the Hot Rod class to run 7s. By backing it up in the first round of eliminations with a 7.926 at 181.26, Eggum did what other Honda tuners-including names like Kenny Tran and Gary Gardella-could not. Even more shocking is the fact that her silver Civic racecar is unsponsored. But that should change. In the finals at Englishtown, Eggum lowered her mark down to a 7.90 at 184.25 against GM Racing's Ron Lummus.
"We've been racing everybody," Eggum said. "But to beat Garrett and Lummus is another thing. Beating them was huge."
Eggum closed out the season strong, taking the final two rounds and finishing a close second in the championship, behind Lummus. "The nobodies are taking down the titans. Can someone please sponsor us now-please?"
