Bruno Massel Racing and Cars

However, Bruno Massel’s journey into the drag racing world was more of a coincidence than a plan; Bruno Massel’s father ended up in the hospital and had to undergo surgery, which was successful, but he had to spend some time recovering, and so Bruno took over the family business, becoming a part of the racing world.
