Last weekend in Denton, driving the Team Alepa C7 Corvette, Rod Valden broke the world record on a drag radial tire.

The previous record had been held by the Bad9er crew out of Texas. The same event Kyle Huettel actually broke the record and ran a blistering 3.870. He broke the record previously held by teammate and friend Jason Michalak. Kyle was actually driving Jason's car for this event as he did the previous event in Memphis only a week prior.
