LOL...a good looking wrap would have taken the same time to apply as that did...

Pretty good qualifing spot for new pipe, though!

And talking about Summit ....whatever happened to Mark Pawk(sp) ?




He was fast for awhile, but fell into the "I can't find my butt with both hands" trap. Then his Summit money went to Anderson and he faded away.

Looks Good! IMO Mopar hasn`t got a fair shake since they stopped sponsoring the E Town race. Summit sponsors a lot so naturally Anderson and his crew get the butt kissing. This sport of Pro drag racing is getting sad, one or two good guys in T.F. one or two in F.C. with the rest of the field filled with local and underfunded teams, its great to see them get the exposure but they are easy round wins for the Pros. P.S is getting the same, same Winners all the time, BORING! I haven`t watched it on T.V. all year. Hopefully the new car gets A.J. some better luck.

The rules for the class are the same for all cars.

I like the new wrap, it's not to busy. I'm sure it'll be stickered up today.

On the surface, NHRA Pro Stock cars appear to closely resemble production-based showroom vehicles, but underneath the brightly colored sheet metal, they are in fact, all out race cars capable of 6.5-second quarter-mile elapsed times and speeds of over 212-mph. The body styles most often found in Pro Stock includes the current model Pontiac GXP, Chevrolet Cobalt, Ford Mustang, and Dodge Avenger. In order to maintain a stock appearance, aerodynamic modifications in Pro Stock are limited to a single 14-inch rear spoiler, and a hood scoop, which not only feeds additional air into the massive twin four-barrel carburetors, but is necessary for engine clearance.
Unlike Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars, which use exotic nitromethane fuel, superchargers, and fuel injection, Pro Stock entries must burn high octane racing gasoline and are limited to a pair of four-barrel carburetors. Pro Stock engines can also be no larger than 500-cid, and each car can weigh no less than 2,350 pounds, with driver. A competitive Pro Stock engine produces close to 1,400 horsepower and revs to more than 11,000 rpm.
The technology and the attention to detail that goes into building a state-of-the-art Pro Stock engine is virtually unmatched in all of motorsports. It can take hundreds of hours to prepare a single set of cylinder heads or an intake manifold and most successful Pro Stock teams devote the majority of their resources to the area of engine development. Although lightweight engine components and exotic metals are banned, virtually anything else is legal in a Pro Stock engine as long as it maintains its original two-valve per cylinder configuration and does not exceed the 500-cubic inch maximum.
All the power in the world isn’t much good if it can’t be applied to the race track, which is why a substantial amount of development also goes into building a Pro Stock chassis. Underneath the body, a modern Pro Stock car features a fully-sprung four-link rear suspension, adjustable electronic shock absorbers, and spring-loaded wheelie bars. The roll cage not only protects the driver in the event of an accident, but also serves as an integral part of the chassis.
It has often been said that a Pro Stock car is one of the most difficult cars to drive in all of drag racing. Indeed, Pro Stock drivers stay plenty busy during each six-second run. Beginning with a carefully orchestrated pre-race procedure that includes a tire heating burnout, a Pro Stock driver carefully inches his car to the starting line. Reacting to the first hint of a yellow light from the Christmas tree, the driver quickly releases the clutch pedal and then must make four separate gear shifts. Each shift must be perfectly timed in order for the car to achieve maximum performance. As if staging, leaving the starting line and shifting wasn’t enough, a Pro Stock driver must also concentrate on keeping the car as straight as possible during the run before finally deploying the twin parachutes which slow the car from over 212-mph at the end of each quarter-mile run.

his day ended early

W) Kurt Johnson (Total Seal GXP) 0.027 6.625 208.46
(L) Allen Johnson (Mopar/J & J Racing Avenger) 0.066 6.622 209.69

A. Johnson and K. Johnson have each won 14 times against the other in prior events. They both pre-stage and then they both take their time turning on the stage light and finally Allen Johnson turns it on. Kurt with the starting line advantage and the power to hold on for the hole shot win...Kurt Johnson's MOV: 0.0368 seconds (approximately 11 feet). Johnson will have lane choice over Morgan in the next round.
