Great Results at PDRA Southern Extreme Nationals

July 31, 2017

Such a great weekend over South Georgia Motorsports Park at PDRA Southern Extreme Nationals. 

Joze Gonzales, with his amazing twin-turbo C7 Corvette, resets 1/4 mile Doorslammer World Record with an incredible 5.40 at 259 powered by FuelTech FT500 EFI System and Pro Line Racing HEMI. He is now the quickest ever door car to cross the 1320ft mark!

Not enough, Joze Gonzales, behind the wheels of his incredible ’67 Mustang Eleanor, racing on another class, the ProBoost, qualified #1, broke the class record and won the race powered by the new FuelTech FT600 and Pro Line Racing HEMI, with Steve Petty calling the shots at the keyboard.

Congratulations Q80 Racing team, El General Racing and Pro Line Racing Team for the great results of the weekend!

Directly from Brazil, Fabio Costa and Roderjan Busato, came to race in the ProBoost class with the '69 Camaro that once belonged to Jose Gonzales, now sporting a white and black suit, to their personal bests, 3.88 and 3.86.

In the Pro Nitrous class, Ron Muenks broke his Personal Best piloting the Purple Gorilla tuned by Jeff Pierce with an incredible 3.75 @ 201 powered by FuelTech FT500 EFI System.

Still on the Nitrous class, James Hancock behind the wheels of Brian Shaw’s "Blue Devil" Camaro, in their first time out after switching the FT500 to the New FuelTech FT600, broke his Personal Best with an incredible 3.80 @ 199.
