superstangOH Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 On the heels of the leak to NHRA Pro Mod racers of new performance restrictions for the NHRA Roots supercharged and turbocharged Pro Mods, the Agent started getting notes in the old mayo jar regarding racers that may be changing to turbo power for the 2011 Get Screened America Pro Mod series. Our spies say that nitrous Mopar stalwart Dennis Radford is building a twin-turbo car to race instead of his nitrous car. We know for sure that supercharger racer Roger Burgess is in the process of going back to a turbo car with the help of Brad Personett. Burgess’s first Pro Mods were turbocharged. A reliable source told Agent 1320 that Troy Coughlin, who has had every kind of powerplant available in his Pro Mods, is having a Jerry Bickel car built specifically for a Ken Dutweiler turbocharged Chevy engine. Our source says Jake Hairston is going to be the crew chief and also says that if Bickel doesn’t have the car finished in time for Gainesville then Troy will probably drive the Hairston’s PSCA championship-winning car until Bickel gets the new car finished.

wagner Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Should be a VERY interesting year for the door cars. Unless they give the NOS guys a big weight break you might as well not even bring one to an NHRA race. The screw cars will still do better in the 1/8th for now but with the right combo a turbo car could rock out on both ends. Hell there was a screw car in the X10.5 class at Norwalk that would have made the field for the big tire cars! 3 seconds in the 1/8th on a 10.5w tire...

superstangOH Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Yea i believe they are doing all this to help this field count. Since alot of guys have went turbo it really has put a damper on the n2o guys. Now hopefully the car count will go up some but going from 98mm to 88 isnt gonna hurt these guys much.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'm still not impressed with the promod program that NHRA has put together. They need to be more like ADRL and limit to one power adder (which NHRA does) and have unlimited of that one power adder (which the currently limit, while ADRL does not.)

98Formula Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Adrl has 2 pro mod classes tho. With unlimited power adders there wouldnt be any nitrous cars in the field at a nhra race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
