Eric Deroche and his Dynomite Racing Team Pro Street/Top Sportsman GXP had a chance to finally hit the track at Firebird International Raceway last Friday with one of the finest creations to come out of the Don Ness stable of racecars. This one-off chassis was exclusively designed to handle the ominous 892 cubic inch normally aspirated 2,000 HP motor prepared by veteran mega cubic inch engine builder Sonny Leonard.

This one-off chassis was exclusively designed to handle the ominous 892 cubic inch normally aspirated 2,000 HP motor prepared by veteran mega cubic inch engine builder Sonny Leonard.

Deroche plans on debuting this outstanding ride at the PSCA Summer Nationals in Las Vegas June 19-20 with a crew that are no strangers to drag racing. Engine builder and ex-Pro Stock racer Jim Basko and Son, Ray Randazzo, Bill Tassinari, Pat Hale, Al Koscizki and Dee Myers round out a team that in the mid 70s ran against the likes of Bill Jenkins, Don Nicholson, Dick Landy just to name a few.

"I had this car built to have fun with the Dynomite Team I grew up with," Deroche said. "What a car to have fun with. The Dynomite Racing Team name is dedicated to Richard Smith (it's creator) who will be in attendance at the Las Vegas race."
