The next cars to beat the pavement were the top dogs of the event, Super Pro Street. This class has a base weight of 2,350 pounds, allows one "power adder" and any rear tire. These rules definitely leave a lot of area for uniqueness in the class. You see everything from naturally aspirated mountain-motored Pro Stocks, to blown, alcohol burning 526ci hemis, to small block turbocharged Fords and Chevys, and everything in between.

A brand new hemi-headed Sonny Leonard motor was in John Bartunek's Pontiac Pro Stock. With only a handful of runs on the motor, it pulled them to a ninth place qualifying effort with a 6.840 at 206.70 mph. (Gruenwald photo)
