Thread: NHRA Pro Stock

Tweet

Man, gotta feel bad for Greg Anderson, ran 6.5222 and got beat--by Mike Edwards, 6.5229 but the hole shot got Mike the win....019 to a .027---

BTW, that was the quickest ever side by side pass in Pro Stock--and probably locked up Edwards for the Pro Stock championship this year unless he really screws up and goes out first round the rest of the events...

Edwards set a new ET record today and Anderson set a new MPH record, also.... Good air at Richmond, huh??????

The air was great and the lanes appeared to be pretty even.

Yup, great racing all the way throught the pro classes!!!! Sure hope they filmed the Sportsman Classes, too..... Should catch it on Speed next week if they did---NHRA is off now till Vegas... Would of like to have been there!!!!!! Some really good runs in the Funny Cars and Diggers!!!!

You bet, a whole lot different than at The Motorplex a couple of weeks ago. I hate one lane drag strips.

I know I'm getting "long in the tooth", but as I recall Garlits held the Top Fuel record at 6.50 for about 2 1/2 years...and now Pro Stocks are running 6.50's!!

WOW, VA has always been a quick track, sorry I missed that one.

Kind of bugged me when Tony Pedregon again said Force threw it when he raced Hight. He must not have seen the interview-Force was a little pissed he got beat

John might have thrown the race that got Robert in the chase( I don't blame him if he did) but had he beat Robert yesterday it would have helped Ashley as well as himself so it was stupid for Tony to open his pie hole about it at all. It was a pretty good race. I'd love to see Ashley win the championship, she can really wheel a car. That was a hell of a save yesterday.

I really am getting sick and tired of these announcers who keep draggin' it up over and over again! They just won't let it go! That old dude who was asking Tony P. about a whole different round then sticks it in that Force is racing a team car and here we go again. Even Mike Dunn was saying that John really needed to win that round.

Yup, it was a killer track and super air!!!! Doubt we'll see runs like that again this season....at least not side by side in the .52's!!!! Heck, the funny's were over 300.... whos was that clown a few months back when Top Fuel went to 1,000 ft said the 300mph runs were over????? Del Worsham had one pass, was 264 at the eighth!!!!!

I really love those pro stockers, and that was one heck of a race...I was
glad to see Mike win one...Both of those guys have class in my opinion,
but I still root for Jeg, simply because I buy most of my parts from him. RD

Love Pro Stock. Force is a clown.

Mike has been a class act since day one!!!!! I have no problem cheering for him this year, hope he stays on top and wins the Pro Stock Championship------but next year when Ford is back (hopefully), he will then become one of them JAC guys, just anudder chebbie!!!!!

This is your final warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS, they still haven't called me about driving one, hope they didn't lose my number!!!

I think if they lost my number, Uncle Bob, Ken, and Richard are going to buy me one!!!!!!

For Geezer2

If you are talking NHRA National records---back then they could only be set at a Divisional race or the final 2 rounds at Indy Nats. Garlits lowered the record with an offset front end with his rear engine dragster to 6.20? something---record was thrown out later because NHRA had set 2 inches as max differance in wb side to side and Dons was 7 or 8---so they established a minumun???? Up to that point in time, My car held the National record set at Fremont Ca in 1971. Later that year, we ran the then quickest side by side race, defeating Don Prudrome in a 6.41 to 6.41 run on a blower belt eating slight holeshot, which has been wrongly remembered as the final run at the PDA race at OCIR, but it was the semis and we had to run Schulz and Glenn in the final where the remains of the wire from the belt caused the motor to launch the blower, also setting an altitude record!!!

Hey Dave,

Do you have a really big picture of that PS Mustang that you could post? I'd really like a better look.

I really like seeing Mike Edwards tearing them up. As far as I know he is not mega sponsored nor has a deep pockets car owner. Plus I like that he is promoting something for kids. Go get 'em Mike!
