July 13-15, 2001 Fun Ford Weekend - Norwalk, Ohio
The team of Jim Summers and Tim Huston (ASSC Racing ) breaks out and runs a 6.95 ET @ 201 mph to join Doug Mangrum in the exclusive supercharged six-second zone. Meanwhile, Don Walsh, Jr. also runs extremely strong while dialing in his new car, and takes the win in Pro 5.0 with a 7.10 ET @ 193 mph. Both of these racers are powered by the new ProCharger F-3SC, and in addition to showing turbos who is making the most reliable power, are opening up a spread of nearly 1 second over the closet driver powered by a competing supercharger.

In Street Renegade class, 2 of the top 4 qualifiers are ProCharged, as the dominant forces of 2000, Jimmy LaRocca and Tommy Annunziata, compete at a Renegade event together for the first time this year. The LaRocca team has claimed 7 Renegade wins in the past 14 months, but they are denied victory this race, as Jimmy claims runner-up after fuel system problems shut him down from an apparent win.

Congratulations to all of these racers for an outstanding weekend of racing!

Don Walsh, Jr.and his new 2001 Mustang, Norwalk Pro 5.0 winner.

The Allen/Masson team is the 1st blown Outlaw in the 7's with a 7.87 @ 176.

July 8-10, 2001 Fun Ford Weekend - Gainsville, Florida
In Street Outlaw action, ProCharged racers began turning up the power with their new ProCharger D-3R's. First, the team of Stan Allen and Alan Masson debuted their 2001 Mustang in spectacular fashion, posting a 7.97 ET @ 176 mph with a D-3R to become the first blown 5.0 Outlaw in the 7's. Two weeks later they would improve upon this with a 7.87 ET @ 176 mph in Richmond, Virginia. Meanwhile, defending Outlaw champion Joe Robinson, taking advantage of the additional power gained by stepping up from a D-3M to a D-3R, went on to win Street Outlaw in Gainesville with excellent driving.

Doug Mangrum, in his first time out since taking the win in Atlanta and becoming the first Pro 5.0 racer in the 6's, picks up his second Pro 5.0 win of the year with a 7.0 ET @ 198 mph, once again beating a turbo in the finals.

Congratulations to Doug and Joe for the wins, and to Alan and Stan for the significant milestone they achieved.
