KENNY TRAN

Kenny Tran started his drag racing career in 1997 driving a car

that he had built and formerly sponsored. Since then, Tran has become

mainstay in the NHRA Sport Compact and the NOPI Race Wars series

and one of the most popular drivers in both. With a completely rebuilt

racer, Kenny looks for 2005 to be the best yet.

In 2004 Kenny raced the distinctive Q Honda in his heaviest schedule

ever – 15 national events. He won twice, at Englishtown, NJ and Bristol,

TN, and finished third overall in the NHRA point standings. That was

an improvement over 2003 where Kenny won one event and ended the

season in fourth. He set a new speed world record in Sonoma that year,

with an ET of 8.60 seconds and speed of more than 175 miles per hour.

Tran won two NHRA events in 2002, at Dallas and Gainesville, finished

third in points and was named the World Import Challenge FWD Unibody

Champion. Kenny is also the owner and founder of Jotech Motorsports

Garland, Texas, one of the nation’s most respected import tuning, speed

and custom shops.
