And it's a Ford!


Left Lane: Scott Geoffrion Runs 6.904/200.50, Now #1
Right Lane: Ron Krisher Runs 6.937/198.50, Now #2

We have the first 200 mph pass at "The Strip" and it is in a Ford.

How Cool is that!

Vegas is an "high altitude" track too. Nice to see Fords back in ProStock.

Scott picked it up to a 6.89 in round 3 or qualifying. Quickest time of the round in the heat.
He is now in the #3 position.

It is nice to see a Ford up towards the top in a super competetive class. It is extremely hard just to qualify! It looks like the Escort has a better aero package than the Mustang and it must be a good chssis too! Where is Robert Patrick and his Mustang? I think that is his first name! He seemed to qualify a few times and even go a round or two last year. Did he give it up or is he maybe going to the Escort body style?
