Just one week after crashing his popular “Bad Bird” Firebird during testing at the most recent National Guard ADRL event, Pro Extreme racer Ken Thomas of the LenMar Motorsports team debuted his recently acquired “Hell Hoss” with the Roots-blown 481X AJ wedge that was transplanted from the Firebird between its front frame rails. He was competing in the Texas Outlaw Pro Modified Association eventin Kennedale, Tex.

The previously turbo-boosted Stang ran a stout 3.98 straight off the trailer in its first supercharged pass ever and Thomas later qualified number one with a 3.980 at 181.13 mph on top of a National Guard ADRL-star-studded, eight-car field.

Thomas eventually met up in the final with occasional Pro Extreme entrant Gene Hector and his “Small-Block Mafia” crew in his ex-Jason Scruggs ‘63 Vette.

Thomas had the performance numbers on his side with his best pass of the day at 3.949 and 183.42, but Hector nailed a big .063 holeshot that allowed his 3.981 at 179.44 to earn the win.

Thomas reportedly has a new JanCen-tuned screw blower is on its way for the “Hell Hoss” as he makes his charge in the last half of the National Guard ADRL Pro Extreme season to secure one of the top-eight Speedtech Battle for the Belts qualifying spots.
