Its been a while since we have updated our site so here is a quick rundown of how 2009 went for Pettis Performance and our customers.
In PSCA 1/4 mile heads-up drag racing our customers achieved these accomplishments in 2009:
11 wins <> 12 runner ups <> 9 #1 qualifiers <> 5 class low ET <> 6 class top speed <> 3 class performance records
3 class championships <> 4 top three championships
Here are the people who finished in the top five in their respective classes using Pettis power.
<>Outlaw 10.5 Champion<> Doug Sikora with Jason Pettis as crew chief <but only when the car runs good :p>
A consistent year while learning a new combo going from nitrous to a Pro Charger with BS3 EFI. Big learning curve but we got it done with help from Job Spetter at Turbo People. Throughout the year we got even more help from Pro-Charger, Mikes Transmission, Neal Chance Converters, Mickey Thompson, a few others, and last but not least Bob, the man behind the scenes at the track. The car ended up with the PSCA ET record at 6.715 but has run as quick as 6.67 at 210mph. The car is a 2000 Mustang back-half chasis 2750 lbs with a glide on 10.5w tires.
This is the quickest and fastest Pro Charged legal 10.5w car in the world.
