(Words and photos by Benoit Pigeon) –\u00a0Great crowd large amount of competitors and high performances at the \ufb01rst stop of the PDRA series.\u00a0 This year Nitrous and blown cars are entirely separated into different groups. The\u00a0new class, named Pro Boost regroup blowers and turbos and it does work apparently very well since two of each ended in the semi \ufb01nals and both adders where also in the \ufb01nal.\u00a0 Todd\u00a0Tutterrow who is experienced with both took the trophy with a blower set up on his Galot Mustang.\u00a0 Pro Nitrous was a repeat from last fall Rockingham race with Franklin and\u00a0 Harris in the\u00a0\ufb01nal.\u00a0 Harris took the win over Franklin who debuted a new car that was barely tested prior to the event.\u00a0 Much like in Pro Boost, turbos did stand up very well in Pro Extreme, but the \ufb01nal\u00a0was a classic blower vs blower with Bubba Stanton and a brand new Camaro taking the win over Mick Snyder. \u00a0 Records were also broken during the week end with Harris becoming the\u00a0\ufb01rst to pass 200mph in Pro Nitrous, Eric Dillard\u00a0 over 220mph in Pro Extreme, and Frankie Taylor also in Pro Extreme dropped a sensational 3.458s.\u00a0 As a reminder theses are all 1\/8 mile\u00a0performances.<\/p>\n

Other classes offered by PDRA are Extreme Pro Stock, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Extreme bike and junior dragsters.\u00a0PDRA was created by racers for racers. All three pro mod classes had over the number of racers needed for 16 car \ufb01elds way over for 2 and the performances were top of the line. With no\u00a0rain and large crowd, a smooth running operation all week end and memorable performances there is probably not much more the organizers could have hope for on their very \ufb01rst event\u00a0and a brand new organization.<\/p>\n
