Staging Lanes FIRE IN THE HOLE Flames erupt from the hood scoop and cover the windshield of Rob “Superman” Hunnicutt’s 2017 Ford Mustang Cobra as a nitrous backfire ends the former Pro Extreme Motorcycle rider’s day in the opening round of Pro Nitrous eliminations at the PDRA Mid-Atlantic Showdown presented by Modern Racing. After switching from two wheels to four in 2014, Hunnicutt has settled into his role as a nitrous doorslammer wheelman behind the wheel of his 942ci Albert-powered hot rod, racing at a handful of PDRA races each year.
