EVENT RACE WRAP

Written by: Jason Reiss

The NMRA and NMCA returned to Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois this weekend, for the Fourth Annual Nitto Tire Super Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing. After three days of insane racing action, we've got winners in all classes. Not only did we see multiple records absolutely destroyed in various classes, but the racer turnout was one of the largest we’ve ever seen, along with lots and lots of fans in the stands. Read on for all of the juicy details!

In Turbonetics Pro Outlaw 10.5, Barstow, California’s Doug Sikora showed up with his ProCharger-powered 398-inch small-block Ford to take his shot with the East Coast’s 10.5 big boys. After obliterating the record with his number-one-qualified 6.69 pass, he proceeded to run through the entire field, taking the first-round bye to a 6.68 single before running right past Mike Murillo in a killer drag race in the second round. Dan Millen, on the other side of the ladder, won easily over Jim Brown’s shutdown pass in the first round before using a 6.72 to get past ’08 Champ Conrad Scarry in round two, setting up a killer final round between the two fastest cars on the property. The final round saw Sikora hang a heavy holeshot on Millen, but Millen pulled it out on the top end, 6.72 to 6.76.

ProCharger’s Super Street Outlaw class is the epitome of small-tire performance in the entire drag racing world. Three-time Drag Radial champion John Kolivas decided to show up this weekend and play with his new Outlaw Radial-type combination. After some initial drama surrounding a tire issue, Kolivas decided to bolt on a set of incredibly tiny 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial tires and make a couple of passes. He ended up qualified number one in an incredibly tough field of the baddest men in the land. He ran past friend and customer Brad Medlock in round one, before taking the second-round bye to an insane 7.33 pass, giving him lane choice against John Macdonald in the third round. Macdonald stood the car way up, while Kolivas got out of shape, but stayed into it and won with a 7.43. On the other side of the ladder, John Urist advanced to the second round when Chris helms didn’t show up for round one. He came up against Kentucky’s Vinny Barber in round two, who had beaten Chris Tuten in round one. Urist and Barber lined up, but Barber redlit to end his chances to advance, sending Urist through the semifinal bye and setting up the final round with John Kolivas. The two multi-time champions lined up, and Urist redlit his chances away, while Kolivas powered down the track to a 7.32 at 193.60 for his first-ever SSO win.
