2006 Fun Ford Weekend In Commerce Georgia

The term "overkill" is often used when describing Brad Brand's notchback, but we think it's perfect. Already known for being the first to reach 200 mph on the 10.5W tires--the Street Outlaw competitor went with a twin-turbocharged, 707ci engine for this year. It was good for a 7.08 in qualifying with a faulty torque converter. Brand is looking at running deep into the sixes once he gets everything right.

Winner
Darrell Peterson (near lane) is seen here beating the Blow-By Racing entry in the Street Warrior category. Peterson won the event with a victory over John Scaro. He ran 9.41 with his naturally aspirated combination while boasting only 311 ci under the cowl hood.

Kyle Yentzer's six-cylinder- powered coupe was featured in the October '05 issue of MM&FF. It has run high-10s on the jug, but Yentzer kept it mild this year with a 12.27 True Street average.

John Brooks -- 13.17 average

Tommy Baker showed a 9.60 in the first run but fell off in his following runs with two 13-second performances. The calculated average was 12.16.

Matt Boyer won the 15-second category with a 15.01 average.
