Brett LaSala Takes the Win in LDR at Steele

When the lights dropped in Steele, Alabama, Brett LaSala and the Motion Raceworks “Snot Rocket” made one thing clear: they came to win.

Competing in the Limited Drag Radial (LDR) class at Alabama International Dragway, LaSala put together one of the most impressive weekends the class has seen in recent memory. Round after round, the Snot Rocket proved it had the speed, consistency, and execution to run at the front of the field.

By the time the final round arrived, LaSala was lined up against Jamie Hancock with the LDR title on the line. When the tree dropped, Brett delivered a statement pass—running a record-setting 3.76-second pass at over 204 MPH to secure the win.

The run not only earned the victory, but also reset expectations for what is possible in LDR competition.

In addition to the performance from the Motion Raceworks team, the car was built on a Moore Race Chassis platform. The MRC chassis provided the consistency, repeatability, and stability needed to perform at this level, handling every pass throughout the weekend and delivering when the pressure was highest.

At this level of radial racing, every detail matters. A chassis has to do more than simply hold the car together—it has to put power to the track, remain predictable in changing conditions, and allow the team to tune with confidence. The Moore Race Chassis underneath Brett LaSala’s car did exactly that, helping carry the Snot Rocket to one of the quickest and fastest performances the LDR class has ever seen.

A Weekend of Momentum

From the first qualifying session, the Motion Raceworks team showed they had a fast car. The Snot Rocket repeatedly put down strong numbers and looked more comfortable with each pass down the track.

As the event progressed, Brett and the team continued to fine-tune the combination, making clean, controlled runs through eliminations. That consistency paid off when it mattered most.

By the final round, the team had built enough momentum that it felt like the weekend was theirs to lose—and they didn’t let it slip away.

Record-Setting Performance

The final-round run was more than just a race-winning pass.

At 3.76 seconds and more than 204 MPH, LaSala’s performance rewrote the LDR record books. On a radial tire, in one of the toughest classes in drag racing, the run demonstrated just how far the platform and the team have come.

For racers and fans alike, it was one of those moments that reminds everyone why radial racing continues to grow. The cars are faster than ever, the competition is tighter than ever, and one perfect run can make history.

What It Means for the LDR Class

The LDR class has continued to become more competitive every season, with racers pushing harder for every hundredth of a second. Brett LaSala’s performance in Steele raises the bar once again.

A 3.76 at 204 MPH is no longer just a benchmark—it is now the number everyone else will be chasing.

For teams across the country, that means more development, more testing, and more focus on every detail. For fans, it means the next LDR event is going to be even more exciting.

Congratulations to Brett and the Team

Winning at this level takes more than horsepower. It takes preparation, teamwork, tuning, and execution under pressure.

Congratulations to Brett LaSala and the entire Motion Raceworks team on an incredible weekend in Steele, Alabama. Setting the record and taking home the win in the same weekend is something special—and a performance that will be remembered for a long time.

If this weekend was any indication, the rest of the season is going to be fast.
