Southern Bookin': 2006 NMRA Ford Nationals in Reynolds, Georgia
|
Every racer wants to go faster, whether it's in his/her class of choiceor stepping up to a faster one. In the recent past, Rich Groh has beenracing Pure Street, and he got his start in Factory Stock with the NMRA,having tremendous success along the way. But in 2006, he's stepped up tothe EFI Renegade class with a nitrous combination. Rich builds his ownengines through Rich Groh Racing Engines, which carries a "We build 'embig" tag line. For 2006, big is a 347 stroker using a Dart block, anEdelbrock Super Victor intake and 75mm throttle body, and Trick FlowTwisted Wedge heads, which are his babies. Rich has committed massiveresearch-and-development time to the combo, and he's gotten good testtime so far in the eighth. But there's nothing to report on quarter-miletimes because Northern tracks are still a little slick on the top ends.Rich uses an NOS Pro Fogger system on the car, a Dynamic C4, Pat'sConverters reworked TCI converters--depending on what day it is. Richsays the cam he's been using is from the Pure Street combination, but acustom cam should be in the car for Maple Grove. So far, he's run in the5.50s in the eighth, which converts to the 8.60 range in thequarter-mile. "Just gotta get all the buttons and switches workingtogether," Rich says. View Related Article
