OUTLAW 10.5 SHOCK & AWE

Steve Petty and Tim Lynch have broken the record books once again during ORSCA's final race of the year at the "House of Hook" in Jackson, South Carolina.

Lynch qualified 3rd, resetting the ORSCA MPH record with a 4.467@174.03 mph driveshaft breaking pass. During the third round of eliminations the Lynch Mob dispatched Mike Hill with the first record breaking pass at 4.39@173.83 mph. Then in the final round they backed it up with the win over Jack Barfield. Barfield in his 2002 762 Nitrous Camaro got a better light and ran a quick 4.483@161.77, but was not fast enough to hold off Lynch's 4.367@172.87 blast.

Incrementals on the 4.36 pass were 1.09 60' and 2.94 330', an amazing performance considering this was also on the "Old Standard" Mickey Thompson tires. Congratulations to Steve Petty and Tim Lynch on your new World Record!

DILLARD WINS ORSCA LIMITED STREET, RESETS MPH RECORD


Eric Dillard of Pro Line Racing Engines (pictured left) has been stirring up the ORSCA Limited Street Class lately by winning the last three races in his class.

Things were no different at the November 18th ORSCA season final in Jackson, South Carolina. Dillard qualified #1 at 4.811@162.47 mph, then went on to reset the MPH record with a 4.791@162.67. Eric turned up the power some for eliminations where he beat Carlton Thompson with a wild 4.859@157.45 mph wheelstanding pass.

Look for Dillard to be even more competitive in 2007 as the car is going to be converted to a 4 link and the chassis upgraded.

WELCOME TO SANDRA "THE CHICK" AND BIG MIKE GRELLA


NRT would like to introduce you one of our newest customers, Sandra and Mike Grella from Milton, Ontario Canada. Sandra competes in the OSCA Super Street Class in their 79' Mustang.

They had been struggling with transmission problems earlier this year and decided to give one of our Pro-Glides a try.

The results were immediate and shocking... Previous best ET's in the 7.30's and MPH of 180/190's were quickly improved with ground breaking 6.98@217 MPH performances. One of which recently put Billy Glidden on the trailer at the JP Shootout race. Now THAT'S an improvement in anyone's book!

In these FAST cars the transmission and converter are a MAJOR part of the package - is this what your team is lacking???
