truck, jumping six cars.
2007 Ron & Corey were approached by Kincad Racing to get a Trans AM funny
car running and compete with the IBAA. Licensing and experience was the first
priority for Ron and Corey, spending time in the Castrol Bubble Up funny car and
their own car.
2008 Ron & Corey have made a serious commitment to funny car racing. The
purchase of a Top Alcohol Funny Car chassis from Trevor Lebsac and a brand new
Keith black olds aluminum 540, Brodex heads, 14 -71 blower, Lenco trans., on
board computer monitoring, and more, makes Sekura Bros funny car one of the top
pieces of equipment in their class.
2009 Ron
and Corey struck a deal with Cal Tebb and purchased their second funny car, a
1969 Camero, - Keith Black, Brodex, Littlefield and Lenco drive train was
installed. The Sekura Bros also added a new

Ron & Corey have worked hard their entire lives and are pursuing a long

be reckoned with on the race track !
