Chassis builder Jerry Bickel confirmed there’s a strong likelihood fans will see a Camaro in NHRA Pro Stock in 2011. At least that’s what he’s working towards.

Bickel confirmed his shop, along with Kirkman Composites, will manufacture the bodies which will eventually be sold to the leading chassis builders. GM has given Bickel and the NHRA permission to reproduce the bodies, which are currently legal for sportsman competition but using the Pro Stock guidelines. Final approval for the Pro Stock will come at a later date.

“We have GM’s blessing and they are working with us,” Bickel confirmed. “When GM dropped out of NHRA Pro Stock, I approached the NHRA about building one. I asked them if [GM] didn’t come back if they’d approve our Camaro body legal for Pro Stock, if I built it to the new NHRA Pro Stock standards.”

Joe Morrison is on a mission to fight cancer. Using his race car, his passion and some good old fashioned hard work, he is expanding what NHRA Full Throttle Funny Car driver Fast Jack Beckman started earlier this year with his LLS Foundation fundraiser.

Morrison, a second generation drag racer from Flemington, NJ earned his NHRA Competition Driving License on September 11th 2001 from Doug Foley’s Drag Racing School and has been racing his 1948 Fiat Injected Alcohol Altered for the past few years. He was inspired to support Beckman’s LLS Foundation fundraiser through his own personal experience with the devastating disease.

For more than two decades the NAPA Thunder Nationals at US 131 Motorsports Park have served notice that winter is over and spring has returned to the historic track. The NAPA 2010 Thunder Nationals should prove to be a worthy successor to that great series as the race expands to two nights for the first time ever. “The Fastest Track in Michigan” will host the 2010 NAPA Thunder Nationals this Friday and Saturday May 7-8.

During the off-season US 131 Motorsports Park repaved their track. Their already impressive surface now features concrete to the 1,000 foot mark for maximum traction. The new surface, combined with expected cooler temperatures, should once again prove that US 131 is indeed the "Fastest Track in Michigan." Headlining this year’s racing card are the stars and cars of the Mountain Motor Pro Stock Association (MMPSA). In fact, the Thunder Nationals will be only the second event ever for the newly-formed association and US 131‘s Pro Stock records are likely to fall.

There was a time when Pro Stock was about the muscle car, the epitome of Super Stock on steroids.

It was the highest level of doorslammer racing in the early 1970s.
