Jason Hamstra believed running a Lenco transmission with a torque converter was something cool to do long before the Pro Extreme competition did. Saturday evening, during the ADRL Dragstock event, Hamstra provided an excellent case for why a Pro Modified style car can win without having a clutch-equipped transmission.

Hamstra defeated ADRL newcomer Ken Walsh to win his second career Pro Extreme national event title.

“We just tried to make consistent laps and the car is really fast,” Hamstra said of his clean sweep victory from the pole position. “It goes down the race track every time.”

That kind of consistency has worked well for Hamstra whose winning elapsed time varied no more than .02 from start to finish.

“I would think that people are going to be looking at our combination in the near future after as well as we ran this weekend,” Hamstra said. “You can’t ask for much more than we had tonight. I don’t hear as many naysayers anymore.”
