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)
