2005 NHRA POWERade DRAG RACING SERIES MIDSEASON REVIEW

TOP FUEL
"We'll consider it a success if we leave the Western Swing even one more point ahead than we are now." – midseason points leader Doug Kalitta (page 24)

FUNNY CAR
"The guy who is making this really exciting for me is Gary Scelzi; he's my catalyst, my fire starter. The more he slaps me, the better I get. When you've done everything, you need that. That's what motivates me." – midseason points leader John Force (page 28)

PLUS:

  • Competition: Lucas Oil Series results from Divisions 1, 3, 7 – Benkovich breaks through for first win at Lebanon Valley Dragway; Thacker wins battle of past event winners in Michigan; and at Infineon Raceway, first-time season winners lead the way. By Steve Waldron, Todd Veney, and John Jodauga. (page 56)
  • Racing Technology with Evan J. Smith – Race-car-slowing friction is all around us. ND guest columnist Smith introduces you to a process designed to greatly reduce friction in almost anything mechanical: Mikronite. (page 84)
  • Interview: 5 Minutes with Randy Anderson – ND might expect to see former TAFC pilot Anderson as a "Where Are They Now?" subject. The reason he isn't is that he continues to play a vital role in NHRA's national and divisional series. Alcohol-category expert Brad Littlefield catches up with him.(page 70)
