Pro Line Racing Updates

Lots of things have been going on at Pro Line Racing lately.

Coby Rabon has converted his engine from gasoline to alcohol and put his car on a serious diet for the 2010 racing season. He was able to get his car 250lbs lighter and add about another 500hp with the new addition of Precision Pro Mod 108mm turbos. We look forward to seeing him run in ADRL's highly competitive Pro Extreme class this year.

Todd Berry and Eric Dillard have made a few changes to their car since the big $20,000 drag radial Valdosta race a couple of weeks ago. Their best pass was a 4.55@173 during a test session on Thursday at that race. They should be back on the track soon to do some testing for ORSCA's 2010 race season.

Tim Lynch and Steve Petty are getting closer to debuting their brand new Outlaw 10.5 2010 Corvette Z06. The pictures are still top secret but all I can say is that it is going to be one BAD ride! They sold their record-setting Mustang to the Gil Christy race team and TJ Casper has been doing an incredible job at the wheel.

Underground Racing has been keeping us plenty busy with their Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago twin turbo builds. These guys make a realistic 1500rwhp and put a whole new meaning to the words street car. They have also just dropped off a new Ferrari F430 engine for us to upgrade for it's new twins.

Stay tuned for more big news from Pro Line Racing. We have a few surprises up our sleeve for 2010!

SCSN Promoter Mel Roth congratulated Coby Rabon on his stellar performance in Pro Street over the weekend. Coby Rabon and his twin-turbo Mustang shattered the Pro Street speed record on Friday and easily earned No. 1 Qualifier status with a late-night pass of 5.98 sec./243.59 mph. But Rabon, of Ridgeway, S.C., didn't make it to the final round as he was eliminated Sunday afternoon after going -.001 red against Troy Coughlin.

Rabon ran low elapsed time of the event and broke his previous record with a 5.961/245.09 to Coughlin's 6.351.

Coby Rabon,and his radical turbo-charged Mustang fresh off their clean sweep victory at the Orlando World Street Nationals, is the 50th racer to commit to racing at the Street Car Super Nationals Nov. 19-22 at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Rabon will join the impressive list of names like Musi, Coughlin, Goforth, Wilmes, DeMieri, Walker, Housley, Scialpi, Berney and Dunne to compete for the top prize of $20,000 in Pro Street. There are already 250 other entries in other classes making this possibly the largest “Street Legal” race in drag racing history.

This will be the first trip west for Rabon and crew, who are based in Ridgeway, SC.

"I would like to thank Proline Race Engines for getting this package together," said Rabon. "Our year started out a little bumpy; we wrecked in March and Alan Pitman Race Cars helped us get it back together. We feel very lucky to run as good as we have with a new combination. This is due to working with good people: Proline Race Engines, Tuning by Steve Petty, Hank Hill with Hooked Up and Gone Race Car Technology, BiggStuff3, Precision Turbo and Rossler Transmissions."
