FROM NHRA TO NOPREP: EVERYONE’S WINNING WITH PROCHARGER!
FROM LANDSPEED RECORDS, NHRA WINS, AND EVEN NOPREP:
It’s almost mind-bending the amount of $$$$ the ProCharger racers and teams are winning since our last racing update. These amazing drivers and crews are absolutely crushing it in this 2021 season. Before we go any further, we wanted to say that we are doing our best to keep up with all of the wins/records/accomplishments across the US and beyond. However, if you are running a ProCharger and want to share a success story with us, please send us a note at [email protected] so that we can get you added to our lists!
Other than that, we are going to dive into wins and records since the last racing update!
BACK-2-BACK WINS IN PRO MOD – FOR PROCHARGER RACERS!
We are sad that this was the last time this NHRA will have the Southern Nationals at Atlanta. However, we can’t express our excitement in the office over the amazing results the ProCharger powered teams have done in Pro Mod. First setting the E/T record two races ago, and now back-to-back event wins…these F-4X powered racers are having a great 2021 season. So let’s discuss the racers that have just posted the back-to-back wins.

DAVID FREIBURGER RESETS 37 YEAR OLD RECORD AT EL MIRAGE!
From David Freiburger…
“Did it! Got in my sixth and most difficult and important 200 MPH Club here at El Mirage Dry Lake in SoCal. This is hot rodding’s oldest hallowed ground, and it’s the record that means the most to me and the one Ive worked for the longest. I went 208.791 mph to smash a C/Blown Gas Coupe record of 200.681 that was set by Andy Granatelli in 1984.
The Turks and I have been after this for a long, long time. It was an emotional and important ceremony here on the dirt when I got my hat. This only happens with a large crew of friends, and I have to thank Keith (who did 90% of the work this time) and Tonya along with Ed and Linda Van Scoy who are our two-decade support system. Thanks to Ish and Troy at Westech for a late night tuning this week, and to Steve Brulé for the 25 years of mentorship. I am proud to have assembled the engine myself with machine work by Dougan’s. 1,000 rwhp from 347ci is thanks to Procharger, AFR, Comp Cams, JE Pistons, Cometic Gasket, and Holley EFI. We also had help from Ridetech and Baer Brakes. Huge thanks to all the board and volunteers of SCTA for all the guidance and courtesy throughout the event. This was like a homecoming. Awesome!”

The event known as “OSCR” has become the mecca of ultra-fast machines from around the US and the world.
