Detail Fest 2013- Celebrity Guest
This year we will have Bruno Massel at Detail Fest. Bruno is the 2012 NHRA Comp Eliminator
National Champion.
He is also the co-host of Truck U on the SPEED channel. Autogeek and Bruno have
had a close relationship over the past two years with Autogeek sponsoring his racing team.
Bruno will be at Detail Fest both days for autographs and photos, anyone that has met
him will tell you he is a great guy! We have enjoyed working with him these past two years
and looking forward to some very exciting year to come!!
Just another great reason to come to Detail Fest this year!!! ![props](https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/images/smilies/props.gif)

Bruno Massel
It's hard to get away from the family theme, especially when NHRA was promoting the Nitro Generation, a salute to families who have more than one generation of drag racing fans. I don't know if the Massel family ever played with nitro but the Competition Eliminator World Champion does come from a real racing family. His father set the standard for him with his example both on and off the track, and it comes as no surprise that Bruno followed in his father's footsteps. As we all know Comp is not an easy class, in fact, it has the biggest diversity of cars and engines of any class in our sport. I find it ironic that in a sport that was founded with big, honkin' V8 engines, Bruno Massel won his second Lucas Oil Championship with a car that has an engine that's smaller than some of those in my grandson's toys. Well, not quite, but at a little more than 100 cubic inches it's amazing how quick and fast this little car can go.
To win one Comp title is special, to win two is amazing, and so are this driver, his car and his accomplishments. To win this year he won three national events, and in the process he beat David Rampy twice and Al Ackerman once, and when you figure those two are both former world champs it shows you how good Bruno was in 2012. In addition to those national events he also won divisional races in Brainerd, Minnesota and Stanton, Michigan and he continued to amaze with the performance he got out of his car. And just to show you that, like every good drag racer, including those in his father's generation, he is never content to leave things alone, in the midst of the point's battle this year he switched from his Cobalt to a dragster and that ran just as well. For my money it's hard to beat a good field of Competition Eliminator cars for pure excitement, and this year it was almost impossible to beat this man and that's why he is a two-time Lucas Oil World Champion.
