With an exciting first race in Bradenton already completed last month, rumors of another full 20+ Scorpion Pro Street car count were flying around the Internet before Bowling Green, and although a few racers failed to show up, 17 total Pro Streeters made the haul to show who had the baddest machine this weekend. In other news, a couple of former Nitto Super Street 10.5W champions made a showing at Beech Bend, Billy Glidden (2006 champ) and Jim Blair (2007 champ) made their 2008 debut. Combine the full fields in both heads-up and index muscle car classes, and beautiful weather on Saturday and Sunday made for a highly anticipated drag racing event that definitely lived up to the hype, despite a Friday of hellacious thunderstorms. Some of the highlights of the weekend included Chicago’s Spiro Pappas busting a wicked “pot-stirring” 6.83 qualifying hit, which eventually led to an all-out 1320 war between Glidden and Pappas in the second round. After a nail-biting burnout and staging session, Glidden put a holeshot (and a 1.04 60ft time) on the turbo car, running a 6.99 to Pappas’ 6.95, just barely edging out Pappas by .02 of a second. Vinny Budano was able to run a killer 6.28 at 221 mph in the first round of eliminations, showing the nitrous big-blocks can run with the quicker blower cars of the event, Mark Micke, Steve King, and Jerod Wenrick. In other highlights, two Ty-Tech Racing Engines cars shattered records this weekend, Cameron Coble ran a 7.96 in the Vortech Superchargers Xtreme Street final an . . .

This ride has worn quite a few different paint schemes over the years, but we think this silver-on-orange scheme may be the coolest looking one yet. Here’s a shot of the car just before a major downpour on Friday.  Andy Schmidt tagged the wall at the last race, which ended his weekend in the first round. Fortunately he was able to get the car totally fixed and painted in time for this race in Bowling Green and if he can keep it under control we feel he’ll be a quick one here this weekend.  Nostalgia Muscle Car class champion Heath Shemwell has shelved his clean ‘69 Camaro this season for Car Craft Street Race battle. His new black 3rd Gen f-body features a nitrous small-block Chevy and a Steve Matukas chassis. Shemwell is known to be a killer on the tree, and if he can work out the new car bugs he should be a top player here in Bowling Green.  Spiro Pappas is on the premises with two nearly identical racecars for Nitto Super Street 10.5W, one with a large single turbo, and one with twin turbos. Although he’ll only be making test hits with the “evil twin,” the plan is to eventually campaign both cars with the NMCA.  Former NSCA champion Jerod Wenrick is here this weekend with his ProCharged Camaro for Scorpion Pro Street. Wenrick’s program is top notch and he should one of the quickest here this weekend.
