MAC TOOLS GATORNATIONALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Duke Ritenhouse
"If [the competition] gives Alan Johnson that many runs, they've got a problem. I remember that from when I used to run against him." – winner Tony Schumacher, whom Johnson tuned to consistent 4.6's on race day while much of the rest of the field struggled. (page 12)

PRO STOCK by Kevin McKenna
Not long ago, conventional wisdom was that the era of a driver such as Bob Glidden or Lee Shepherd running head and shoulders above the rest of the field was over and that event wins and championships would now be routinely be decided by thousandths of a second. Leave it to Greg Anderson to prove conventional wisdom wrong. (page 16)

  • NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series: Fontana – "We want to be the ones to break the seven-second barrier. We're closer to it now than anyone else, so the pressure to get there first is intense," said Pro FWD winner Lisa Kubo, who holds the national record at 8.02. By Phil Burgess.

  • Tech: Perfect Timing – New MSD ignition controllers ensure than tune-ups are done in the pits, not on the track. (page 85)
  • Where Are They Now? – Chuck Etchells' gutsy career is perhaps best defined by the fact that he made the quantum leap from a 10-second doorslammer to a six-second Funny Car with no prior knowledge of how to build or maintain a nitro-burning engine. ND's John Jodauga catches up with the 12-time national event winner. (page 78)
