DHRA World Finals
DHRA World Finals
"The Finals"-it has a certain ring to it. Whatever happened during the season is in the past. It will all be decided here, and almost everybody is loaded for bear as the long winter approaches. In the drag-racing world, we heard rumblings of a 10-second Power Stroke that was looking to shake things up.
In the few weeks preceding the event, no fewer than three Duramax-powered trucks had dipped into the 9s-Orange Crush, The Dirtymax, and Buck Spruill all ran 9.80s or better. Keating Shelly ran back in the 8s with his Cummins-powered Chevy and somehow managed to bend up his Lenco transmission in the process. Darren Morrison had made a 5.60-second eighth-mile pass, and it looked as though his Tubs 'N Tubes Dakota might be a serious threat to the Dr. Performance truck that had been so dominant throughout the season. We also heard rumors of a few dragsters being built, and some were even hinting at 6-second passes.
Not to be outdone, the pulling boys were also bringing their A games. Double Overtime, the world's most powerful Power Stroke, was on its way out west to take on the Dodges. Off Constantly, the truck with an $8,000 Sigma injection pump was on its way. We'd also heard of cams, rods, and high-performance heads being overnighted to the Duramax crowd in record numbers as they took aim at the street classes. Who showed up? Who stayed home? Who came and dominated? Read on as we bring you coverage of the '07 DHRA World Finals.
