I went up to the NMCA race at US131 Dragway in Martin MI two weekends ago so for a little change I thought I would post some pictures I took there. The top class in the NMCA is Extreme Pro Mod and this brand new 49 Merc made it's debut this weekend and won the event. It's powered by a Brad Anderson 521ci Hemi topped with a PSI screw blower and backed by a TH400. It went as fast as 3.73 @ 200 mph. That is a wrap and not paint, but it still looks pretty good. It was driven by Craig Sullivan.
