GOIN' BALLISTIC AT THE ROCK

Jets, Top Fuel Harleys, Top Fuel Dragsters and Pro Mods are among the variety of vehicles which will be in attendance at Rockingham Dragway's Pro Winter Test-Fest to be held Feb. 26-28. Bill Furr's TF Harley, the Rex Stevens TF dragster, and Quain Stott's two-car Pro Mod team, and others will be getting into competition mode during a free test session at the famous North Carolina IHRA track.

There will be unlimited free testing on Thursday and Friday, with the two quickest racers returning on Saturday for a Chicago-style race. The two quickest Pro Mod and Pro Stock cars will race for a cash purse in each of the two classes. Kevin Martin's "Ballistic Eagle" jet bike (photo) and the jet Funny Cars driven by Dick Rosberg and Chris Gould also will make runs on Saturday.

In addition, owner Steve Earwood has a $2,000 to win bracket race that same weekend -- with no entry fee. In addition, editor Jeff Burk (yes, THE Jeff Burk) will be covering the event for DRO. Truly, something for everybody. (photo courtesy www.ballisticeagle.com) [2-18-2004]
