PRO 632 CARSON HOYLE
SUPER STREET CARSON PERRY
North Carolina’ s Carson Perry has been around the PDRA since the beginning of the series, but this was his first full season as a driver in Super Street presented by Brian’ s Heating & Cooling. Representing Greenbrier Excavating & Paving in a Barry Allen small-block AMC-powered’ 00 Camaro, Perry joined a strong group of young guns: eventual world champion Connor McGee, Austin Vincent, and Matt Schalow. He reached the final round at the Mid-Atlantic Showdown, made it the semis at Maryland, then dominated the World Finals weekend, winning the Summit PDRA ProStars, qualifying No. 1, and winning the event. Perry ended up third in the points standings.
Carson Hoyle became the latest PDRA Jr. Dragster program graduate to excel immediately upon moving into a“ big car” class, as he made his Pro 632 debut at the second race of the season. His stepdad, Pro Nitrous standout Chris Rini, shook down his Musi-powered ATI Performance’ 69 Camaro at the season opener before handing over the proverbial keys to Hoyle. The young gun reached the quarterfinals in his first three appearances and went to the semis at the next two before closing out the year with his first career win at the World Finals to finish third in points. Throughout the season, he cut multiple double-oh reaction times and a perfect light.
PRO STREET MIKEY SASINA
Colorado-based sportsman racer Mikey Sasina found a new home in the PDRA’ s Pro Street division, where he brought out a Stevie Jackson and Killin’ Time Racing-prepared, Pro- Charged’ 03 Mustang. He didn’ t qualify at the season opener and lost in the opening round at the next two, but he picked up round wins at two of the last three races of the season, ending up just outside the top 10 in points.
