How Rufus became an NHRA Racer

Rufus began his racing journey in his hometown at a local pet festival, where he captured attention by winning a wiener dog race. His owner, inspired by his speed and enthusiasm, decided to train him for drag racing. After a year of practice, Rufus earned the title of "professional amateur" when he participated in a regional drag racing event, impressing everyone with his quick reflexes. Rufus was encouraged to try out for an NHRA event. With determination, Rufus adapted to a modified dragster, and soon he was racing on his first NHRA track.
