Making Move to ADRL XTF Taken from adrl.us...  "Well, it looks like another Outlaw 10.5 superstar is ready to take the leap up to Extreme 10.5 competition. Word comes out of the Lone Star State that Grant McCrary out of Haltom City likely will make his XTF debut at the ADRL's Hushpower Dragstock V at Rockingham Dragway in September.McCrary recently steered his twin-turboed, big-block-Ford-powered '06 Mustang to a 4.36 lap at more than 174 mph with the car weighing in at 3,100 pounds. That same ProLine-prepped motor is apparently destined for the engine bay of a brand-new Larry Jeffers-built '68 Mustang created especially for the ADRL's XTF series. McCrary will be racing out of the Lenmar Motorsports/House of Hot Rods stable. Knowing the quality and drive of the people involved in all corners of this deal, your Agent expects them to come out swingin!" Match Race @ Texas Raceway - Kennedale, TX  This weekend in Kennedale, TX there was a big match race which brought over 12,000 people, a track record. Grant McCrary showed up in his Outlaw 10.5 car to face Michelle Wilson in her ADRL Extreme 10.5 car. Michelle has been as fast as 4.29 in the 1/8 mile in her ADRL Extreme 10.5 car. Grant's best 1/8 mile pass was a 4.36 in his Outlaw 10.5 car.Grant absolutely dominated the match race. He ran a 4.36@174, 4.38@174, and another 4.36@174! Michelle wasn't able to go any faster than 4.60's. These runs were made in a blistering 97 degrees, 140 degree track temperature, and a corrected altitude of 4100 ft! Michelle's Extreme 10.5 car weighs in at approximately 2100-2200lbs. while Grant's Outlaw 10.5 car tips the scales at a heavy 3100lbs! Congrats to Grant, Toby, and his crew for his win this past weekend! Dominates & Wins Texas King of the Hill!  Grant McCrary put on a very impressive display this past weekend at the Texas King of the Hill race.

We have recently acquired another building specifically for wiring and plumbing here at Pro Line Racing. After some changes and new additions, we are now officially open for business. Our newest employee, Jon Homier, will be doing all of the wiring and plumbing. Jon came to Pro Line Racing with a tremendous amount of experience. He has worked for Speed & Custom Race Cars for the last 14+ years and has been around in the drag racing world all of his life. Jon raced in the IHRA Super Rod circuit for 5 years. He has built multiple championship cars for the Good Guys AA/Gas and A Gas classes and is more than qualified to fill our newest position. We are nearly finished with our first job, Mark Woodruff's Limited Street corvette. Mark brought his twin turbo corvette to us for a complete wiring and plumbing overhaul. Now equipped with all new harnesses, weather pack connectors, and a whole lot more goodies, Mark is ready to debut this awesome corvette in ORSCA's Limited Street class this year.  Well it wasn't easy, but it looks Dave Hance's pro mod will be ready for the NHRA race in Englishtown, NJ this weekend. A big thanks to everyone who has helped make it happen. Bell Chassisworks, Precision Turbo, ATI, Mickey Thompson, Big Stuff 3, Vortech, etc.We didn't touch the paint job that was already on the car when Dave acquired it. That will be addressed later. The car was started yesterday and from there we had a few things to take care of. It was dyno'd late last night and everything looks good. We just have to finish a few things and we'll be on the way to go make some test passes. If all goes well during testing, we'll be headed to Englishtown, NJ today to give NHRA a shot!
