SCRUGGS - THE BIONIC STRATUS

"Steve Austin, astronaut, a man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him, we have the technology. We have the capability to make the worlds first Bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster."

That was the intro to the legendary television series The Six Million Dollar Man, a story that chronicled the adventures of Steve Austin, a cybernetically enhanced astronaut turned secret agent employed by the OSI under the command.

There's nothing secret about newly crowned ADRL champion Jason Scruggs and his 200 mile per hour exploits in ADRL competition. There's nothing about him that needs to be rebuilt, either.

His Dodge Stratus -- that was another story.

Earlier in the season, Scruggs brought out a new Dodge Stratus and crashed it on its maiden voyage in testing.

But, it's back. They've rebuilt it in the same fashion as the Six Million Dollar Man.

Scruggs brought the Stratus to the ADRL World Finals and while it may not make it into competition this weekend, word has it that it will begin testing on Sunday. Roger Richards snapped these shots while at the Texas Motorplex.
