WHOLE
NEW
WORLD
Class-leading drivers explain why
a new-and-improved Pro 275 ruleset is
attracting Radial vs. the World cars –
and fans – by the droves
y virtue of a few rule changes, Pro 275
has unearthed a whole new world of possibilities.
With Radial vs. the World continuing to lower
the boom when it comes to performances, the
class has become inundated with Pro Mod-style

class or its popularity, but promoter Donald “Duck” Long
also recognized an opportunity to keep the drivers of stock
body cars happy – and still going fast. ¶ The rules in Pro
275 changed to accommodate those cars once used to com-
peting in RvW, while also bringing in an entirely new batch
of racers, and it’s worked like gangbusters. ¶ “We were
predominantly racing No Time and when this class started
to pick up the pace, the guy who owns the car (Paul Curry)
said we have to go to Pro 275,” says Russell McManious,
