Melanie goes turbo crazy
Discussion
Yesterday at Englishtown, Melanie Troxel's first two competition passes in ex-Roger Burgess turbo 'Vette:
5.808 / 257.33
5.800 / 258.71
Two quickest and fastest NHRA Pro Mod passes ever.
What might today have in store?

Here comes smaller turbos and C.I. Limits......
That's not definate. What needs to be remembered is that the NHRA are not likely to make a knee jerk reaction due to the performace at one event. Everyone is running fast this weekend and the Nitrous cars are too. If it wasnt for Melanie's numbers everyone would be creaming over Mike Castellana's 5.82.The nirtous cars are still the story of this season and have have given everyone who jumped on the turbo band wagon over the close season something to think about.

No, when you have door cars running close to the terminals of Top Alcohol FC you need to restrict that. Pro Mod is the NHRA's next accident waiting to happen.
Sarcasm, everytime the blower cars went faster they slowed them down, now the hairdryers and bottles are going quick you can be damn sure blower cars won't get any help....Burndown said:

I'd pay good money to see you having the conversation about the "1000ft rubbish" with an American bloke called Conrad Kalitta... my guess is you wouldn't walk away from the conversation under your own power mate.peterwalters said:
SO....back on topic...
Personett matches Melanie's 5.772 in 1st round, wonder if he can better it in round 2?
Plus Castellana goes 5.781 in a nitrous car!
The nitrous cars matching the turbo cars for ET is what has been really interesting this season, it has made for great race days. They are running some really quick numbers to 330ft after which the turbo cars really start hauling ass.Personett matches Melanie's 5.772 in 1st round, wonder if he can better it in round 2?
