In the UPR Products booth in vendor midway is John Pryor's wicked X275 Mustang. The 25.3 chassis was built by Bivins Race Cars, and power comes courtesy of a unique Competition Auto & Machine 400 ci small block Ford engine built around a World Products block topped with Hemi heads from Hammerhead performance and a 417 Motorsports intake. Along with the Haltech engine management system, a Bilbrey Racing Transmissions two-speed 400and PTC converter put the 88mm single turbo's power to the ground. Additionally, a host of UPR components including control arms, A-arms, anti-roll bar, and more are also on board along with Mesncer shocks and struts. Pryor is hoping that the off-season rule updates from NMRA will allow for alcohol fuels in VP Racing Fuels Street Outlaw so that he can run next year.

From the Steeda Limited Street class invitational hosted at this very race last year through the first three races of 2018, Kelly Shotwell had the car to beat in the class, running 8.6s at will with his full-weight, registered and insured street car. But his program saw problems at the third race in Pennsylvania, leaving room for others like Mike Ciborowski (pictured above) to swoop in and collect points. Going into this race, Shotwell just had to tech in, as he was the points leader by over 400 points, but he opted to stay home and regroup, saying that he didn't want to win the championship without racing for it. Ciborowski needs to go four rounds in today's eliminations to take the championship.
Yesterday's ZP Performance Steering Outlaw True Street class brought out some heavy hitters, including multi-time QA1 True Street winner Mike Jovanis and multi-time Drag Week winner Dan Saitz. After rounds rounds of eighth-mile, no-time competition, it was Tim Oswalt (pictured) of Lake View, Alabama, that took the final-round victory over David Capps.
Sitting eighth in G-Force Racing Transmissions Coyote Stock going into eliminations, Andy Johnson has been following the herd trying to find a few more numbers, but his recent gear change didn't pan out as expected and he's gone back to his original gearset. A little clutch adjustment so that his 91 Mustang doesn't strike the tires at the hit and pull the motor down, and he's confident he can improve upon his 10.302 at 129.14 mph pass run in the heat of the day.
