212.03 – Then Gets Beat By His Own Horsepower …
It was all good news and bad news for Mike Edwards during the semi-finals of the NHRA O’Reilly Springnationals in Houston, Tx.
Edwards, long considered to be one of the best drivers in NHRA Pro Stock competition, drove his way to the fastest speed in drag racing history, 212.03 mph, against Ron Krisher.
That was the good news.
However, Krisher took the win-light by a scant two inches. 212.03 – Then Gets Beat By His Own Horsepower …
It was all good news and bad news for Mike Edwards during the semi-finals of the NHRA O’Reilly Springnationals in Houston, Tx.
Edwards, long considered to be one of the best drivers in NHRA Pro Stock competition, drove his way to the fastest speed in drag racing history, 212.03 mph, against Ron Krisher.
That was the good news.
However, Krisher took the win-light by a scant two inches.
That was the bad news.
Even in losing, Edwards was a winner. Krisher leases race engines from Edwards and the power plant between the fenders for that match was the same one Edward used to qualify No. 1 with in Gainesville.
Why would he give up such a stout performing engine?
“I don’t know, that’s a good question,” Edwards said. “I don’t know. I think I have created a monster in this guy. He is just doing awesome.”
Krisher has nothing but praise for Edwards.
“He’s been giving me all I need to do this,” Krisher admitted. “I can’t say enough about Mike.”
Yeah, but will Edwards take the engine for himself next weekend?
“I might not see this one again,” Krisher said with a laugh.
Of special interest, Krisher is running a Roger Holmgren-built Lazarus chassis, identical to the one V. Gaines is running. Mike Edwards has also taken delivery of a Lazarus entry as well.
