onds and 260 mph in “unimpressive” weather
conditions. Although “mineshaft air”, such as
that seen during the NHRA Gatornationals at
Gainesville (FL) earlier in the season, has pro-
duced a total of ten drivers in the 5.6-second
zone, the constant attention and response
of NHRA’s technical staff has kept the target
numbers in sight.
At the recent 13th annual Summit Racing
Equipment NHRA Nationals at Norwalk (OH),
the weather was anything but extraordinary. In
fact, the event’s Low Elapsed Time was a “per-
fect” 5.70 by Mike Castellana’s supercharged
Camaro. Yet three drivers improved their po-
sitions in the DI Top Eight NHRA Pro Modified
Speed chart at the race. It should come as no
surprise all drove turbocharged entries.
Superstar Erica Enders reset her own
NHRA Pro Modified speed record at Norwalk,
exceeding the 260.41 pass she clocked at zMax
Dragway in Concord (NC) with a stunning
261.22 in Ohio which came after 259.41 and

258.12 efforts. Steve Matusek became the
second NHRA PM driver to officially break 260
mph, (two others have done it unofficially),
wheeling his Aeromotive 2013 Mustang to a
260.41 blast with previous runs of 256 and 257.
Alex Laughlin secured the bump of the Top 8
list at 259.16 after earlier 255, 257 and 257 slips.
The trio are bound by a common thread. All
are members of the Elite Racing Team which
made the wholesale switch to turbocharged
powerplants in 2019. Another trait shared
by all three is the tuning expertise of Shane
Tecklenburg whose wizardry has already pro-
duced everything from the fastest automotive
engine speed ever achieved on land to drag
racing’s all-time record-holding eight, six and
four-cylinder machines.
It should be noted Erica Enders suffered
a fire during qualifying which kept her from
competing in eliminations but the sport’s pre-
miere “doorslammer speed record holder” has
vowed to return.
