PRO STREET FLETCHER COX
Retiring from a Hall of Fame career with the Philadelphia Eagles last season freed up Fletcher Cox to pursue a lifelong goal of going drag racing on a high level. After several seasons as a car owner in multiple classes, he got behind the wheel of his nitrous-fed“ Training Day”’ 69 Camaro and made his Pro Street debut at the second race of the season. With Phil Shuler tuning, Cox reached the semifinals. He then picked up his first of three No. 1 qualifier awards at the Maryland race before earning his first career win at the Thunder Valley Throwdown. Cox ended up third in the final points standings with a win and three semifinal finishes. He also made the quickest run in class history, a 3.829, in Northern Nationals qualifying.
PRO BOOST FRANK FALTER IV
Young gun Frank Falter IV spent the last couple seasons getting up to speed in one of the quickest cars in Laris Motorsports Insurance Elite Top Dragster presented by Greenbrier Excavating & Paving, the supercharged“ Candy Man” entry. Falter decided he wanted to go quicker and he wanted to do it between doors, so he moved into Pro Boost midway through the season. While he didn’ t qualify in his debut at his home race, the North vs. South Shootout at Maryland International Raceway, Falter made it to the first round at the final three races of the season in his screw-blown“ Candy Man”’ 69 Camaro.
