I just wanted to take a minute and say "Thankyou" to everyone at Autogeek.net for the support they've given me and my racing program the past two years. Winning an NHRA World Championship is a life long dream that most people never get the chance to experience. The fact that we've won two in the past four years is truly amazing!
One thing is for certain, that without "Max" putting his faith in me, I would never have gotten the chance to accept that Championship trophy this past Monday night in Hollywood, CA. For that I am truly greatful!! I've been proud to represent such a tremendous family the past two seasons, "the Autogeek.net family" and even prouder to bring a Championship back to Stuart, FL!
Thanks to all of you for supporting such a great company and in turn my racing program,
Best Wishes,
Bruno Massel
Below is an excerpt from an article that acknowledged the NHRA World Champions of 2012...
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.

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.
