HOW THE
EIGHTH-
MILE’S MOST
THRILLING
CLASS LOST
ITS WAY
BY JOSH HAC HAT
T
he Pro Extreme class
made its final run on June
2, 2018, spelling an un-
fortunate and, ultimate-
ly, abrupt end to a class
that almost immediate-
ly captured the attention of the
sport just more than a decade ago.
At its peak, fans and drivers alike marveled at the
screw-blower outlaw doorslammer class, both
in its wild unpredictability and eye-popping
performances. It was a special kind of magic and
it led to a meteoric rise almost overnight. As for
the drivers trying to tame these monsters, it was
also the ride of their life.
