The Kohler Road drag strip will be host to the Third Annual KC Auto Family Day Spectacular - PMRA Challenge presented by Paul Wolf Electric & Lighting Supply Inc., Sylvania and Independent Electrical Distributors.

 

Since its inception about 12 years ago, Super Street Outlaw class drag racing, also known as 10.5 -inch tire racing, has grown tremendously. With a basic platform revolving around a stock- bodied muscle car and stock-style front suspension, the class is restricted to a 10.5-inch wide rear slick, and all entries must run mufflers to maintain some roots to their street driven origin.

 

But after that, all bets are off.

 

Racing in its own series, the wild and ferocious Super Street Outlaw 10.5 cars will be part of the action when the Pro Modified Racing Association returns to Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario Saturday, June 16, in the second in the five-race 2007 PMRA tour.

But after that, all bets are off.

 

Any powerplant, with any power additive is allowed. With the engines, anything goes, including big blocks with naturally aspirated combos, nitrous oxide injection, roots or centrifugal superchargers, and the latest craze…twin turbochargers. These high-tech machines are capable of six-second elapsed times at over 200 mph.

 

The class has gained in popularity as fans watch these 2000 horsepower machines cope with the 10.5-inch rear tires.

 

Every weekend at tracks across North America the bar on times and this group of hardcore racers continually raises speeds and lowers times. The teams display the talents of local drivers in this up-and-coming class.
