Jason Scruggs enters this weekend’s National Guard ADRL Flowmaster Dragstock VI at Rockingham Dragway as the reigning back-to-back Pro Extreme world
champion, class record holder, and 2009 points leader, but he’s far
from satisfied. After all, he’s still looking for that first Dragstock
victory.
Since the inaugural Dragstock in 2004 at Carolina Dragway in Jackson,
SC, Scruggs has reached the semis or final round each year of what has
become the National Guard ADRL’s oldest and most prestigious event.
He’s set records at Dragstock along the way, too, including the world’s
first 200-mile-per-hour pass over the eighth mile by a “door car,” when
he drove his supercharged 1963 Corvette to a 200.86-mph qualifying lap
in 2007 at Rockingham. He eventually left that day with both ends of
the series’ and track records set at 3.70 seconds and 205.22 mph.
“But something always happens to prevent the win,” Scruggs says.
