CROSS, CORZINE, AND REHER IN A PRO MOD?
When Bubba Corzine teamed with driver Bobby Cross, he won an NHRA World Championship in Competition Eliminator. Corzine whispered into the Agent’s ear while he was at the ADRL race in Texas, where Cross also was in attendance, that his ex-partner was so taken with the Outlaw Pro Mods at the event that he told Corzine that if he (Corzine) could put a program together with David Reher to build an ADRL Pro Nitrous car, Cross would come out of driving retirement.
Okay, say this all together now: this is just a rumor floated by Bubba Corzine! [10-18-2006]

Okay you nitro haters, are you tired of hearing about how much power those supercharged, nitro-burning Hemi’s make. Well, DRO editor Jeff Burk found an engine for you. While on a visit to the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum located at Washington, DC’s Dulles International airport he came across this monster that reportedly was dyno tested to 5,000 hp. Imagine what it would make with a nitrous oxide-injection system on it! (Jeff Burk photo) [10-18-2006]
