They are drag racers of different eras.
Tim Grose raced nitro Funny Cars in the seventies and eighties before
drag racing nitro became prohibitive for independent racers.
Quain Stott provides the quintessential rags to better quality rags
story of a Pro Modified racer who used a frugal nature and persistent
spirit to become a world champion.
Together, they are planning for a common era of racing together.
Stott will partner with Grose on a new Double Overhead Cam engine
project. The engine combination will be supercharged and run a 50%
nitro mix under the ADRL sanction.
The DOHC design Stott will run was originally designed in the
mid-eighties by Joe Anahore and Joe Schubeck. The NHRA banned the
engine in 1997 and the IHRA followed suit. No rules exist in ADRL
preventing the use of the DOHC engine.
