Top 10 Q&A with SFWD racer Tony Palo on TUNERZINE.com
Tunerzine’s Top 10 Q&A with Tony Palo of T1 Race Development
Tony Palo is the owner and a fabricator over at T1 Race Development. He is credited with building some of the fastest Sport FWD cars out there today. He is also an avid driver behind the wheel, piloting to some of the quickest and fastest times in the Sport FWD class. Tony Palo has also been seen on the TV Show, Pinks. He was the Sport FWD West Coast Champion in 2006 for the NHRA Sport Compact race series.
Tunerzine.com: Hey Tony, thanks for taking the time to do this. We want to give the readers out there an idea of what it’s like to compete in the Sport FWD class. Can you give us an idea of what all is involved right before any event?
Tony Palo: Well, in a perfect world we change the oil and load the car in the trailer. Unfortunately, in the racing world, it’s not often that it goes that way. As we speak it’s less than 1 week before the NHRA race in Indy and I’m still having parts next day aired for the race car. Took the motor apart to fix something small and found more things wrong, enough to start putting together a whole new motor and we’ll fix the old one when we have time. Any true racer has spent a pretty penny in next day air fees with UPS! No matter how much you prepare, seems like it always comes down to the week or nights before the race. I’ve been racing for about 9 years with quite a few different teams and that’s the 1 thing that has never changed...
