Kyle Huettel of Texas literally had less than a half a dozen passes on his brand new screw blown Corvette, a twin to world record holder and teammate Jason Michalak's entry, but tonight the car suffered major damage as well as the car in the other lane. About 150 feet out, Huettel lost traction and shot across the track collecting Dave Bowman with him in this spectacular video. Both drivers were reported to be uninjured but their weekend at Lights Out 7 is certainly over.
He's known largely as a Pro Nitrous racer, but for this weekend, Keith Haney has proudly rebranded himself as a Drag Radial competitor. A co-owner of Tulsa Raceway Park and also a promoter of Drag Radial events, Haney under a supreme veil of secrecy commissioned Larry Jeffers Race Cars to build him a purpose-built Camaro. And, as many found out, the new ride is no joke.
Roy Johnson is about as old school as they comes when it comes to building race engines. He's been a seasoned veteran with a penchant for making copious amounts of horsepower with classic technology. With the advent of the EFI age, Johnson finds himself going back to school to learn a few new tricks.
CompetitionPlusTV brings you the results via video of the Circle K NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, Ca. Witness the incredible final round performances of Steve Torrence, Ron Capps and Greg Anderson as they open 2016 with victories. Sportsman results also included in this quick recap.
Torrence powered to his sixth career No. 1 qualifying position and his first ever at Pomona, clocking a 3.703 at 328.06 in his Capco Contractors dragster. He will open eliminations against nitro journeyman Steve Faria. “We weren’t holding anything back,” Torrence said. “The conditions were the best we’ve seen this weekend so we said why not go for it. We’ve got a really good hot rod right now and I just want to do my job and hopefully we can walk away from here tomorrow with one of those little gold men.” With noted nitro tuning expert Alan Johnson on board as a consultant, Torrence had one of the quickest and fastest cars during last week’s pre-season testing in Phoenix. Now with his qualifying effort and by posting four solid runs during qualifying, Torrence and his team are very confident heading into Sunday’s eliminations.
Greg Anderson earned his 81st career No. 1 qualifying effort in Pro Stock with a performance of 6.585 at 209.62 in his Summit Racing Equipment Chevy Camaro. It is Anderson’s sixth No. 1 at the Winternationals and he will go for his sixth win at this event tomorrow when he faces Matt Hartford in the opening round.
NHRA Pro Stock has kept largely the same engine configuration since 1982, when he sanctioning body abandoned the pounds per cubic inch format in favor of the universal 500-inch format. During the Circle K NHRA Winternationals, a new chapter of the factory hot rod division was unveiled. CompetitionPlus.tv's Bobby Bennett takes you through the conversion as explained by the racers, crew chiefs and even a legend.
