PRO STOCK SPECIAL

PRO STOCK CHAMPION: GREG ANDERSON by John Jodauga
Anderson's 2003 season was not only of the greatest in drag racing history, but also one of the best in any sport. For ample comparison, one cites the Miami Dolphins' 18-0 season in 1972 or Barry Bonds' 73 home runs in 2001. (page 16)

PRO STOCK BIKE CHAMPION: GENO SCALI by Kevin McKenna
Scali's championship came during a season that many believe was the toughest ever in Pro Stock Bike. Unlike past seasons, where one or two drivers dominated, the class achieved parity in 2003. (page 24)

PLUS:

  • NHRA News – Wally Parks is inducted into Hot Wheels Hall of Fame; National DRAGSTER wins seven automotive journalism awards. (page 5)
  • Déjà vu All Over Again – Pro Stock's comeback story of the year was provided by Larry Morgan, who credited his success largely to another returning Pro Stock figure, the great Bob Glidden. ND talks to both about what it took to turn things around. By John Jodauga. (page 20)
  • Racing Technology with Evan J. Smith – Though there are dozens of products on the market that racers may consider essential, I picked a few that I think you should never be without. (page 70)
  • DragStats – All the 2003 numbers from Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike, including head-to-head records; average e.t., mph, and reaction time; and race-by-race performance. (page 22)
