NHRA SUMMITRACING.COM NATIONALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Steve Waldron
Though they tried to downplay it, there is no denying the significance of what Don "the Snake" Prudhomme and driver Larry Dixon accomplished with their victory at the NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals. (page 14)

PRO STOCK by Candida Benson
"Obviously Greg [Anderson] didn't scare everybody away. Everybody just went back to the shop and got to work." – Dave Connolly, whose team's off-season strategy paid off in Vegas with his second straight win of 2005 (page 18)

PLUS:

  • Tech: New Breed – Chevy Cobalt Pro Stock bodies represent a landmark effort in the design of today's factory hot rods. In fact, said NHRA National Tech Director Danny Gracia, "The Cobalt essentially represents the future of NHRA Pro Stock; it creates the standard from which all subsequent body designs will be derived." John Jodauga explains what all the fuss is about. (page 50)
  • Nostalgia: When Thunder Valley First Roared – In 1965, the NHRA Springnationals was the most scenic stop on the NHRA tour at brand-new Bristol Int'l Dragway, located between two huge Tennessee mountains. With the arrival of 200-mph Top Fuel entries, the site quickly earned its "Thunder Valley" nickname, a moniker that seems even more relevant today. (page 54)
  • First Person: Running Healthy with Dr. Jeremy Torstveit – Which medical conditions can cause a racer to fail his or her license physical? The Doc examines this tough question and more. (page 154)
