Wes Whittle

Pro Line Racing may be the most talked about performance engine builder in the country – if not the world – and they continue to pump out plenty of new iron. While most notably known for their Outlaw 10.5 Mustang driven by Tim Lynch, these guys have plenty of great customers that are pushing the envelope and striving to continue the winning ways that Lynch and Petty have established.

Stop over at the Pro Line website to get up to date on all the happenings.

Over this past weekend the Pro Line crew was out on full force at the Orangeburg, South Carolina race. In 275 Drag Radial Pro Line was represented by Wes Whittle in his 2000 model year Mustang. Whittle qualified in the number one spot with a 5.05 @ 150mph in his Mustang which is powered by a 454 cubic inch small block that has been worked on extensively by Pro Line. For the first time out on the small 275 tire, Wes and his crew were able to grasp the concept quickly which eventually led them all the way to the winners circle.

Eric Dillard

Wes was not the only Pro Line customer in attendance and competing. Todd Berry and Eric Dillard rolled into town to try their luck at Limited Street. Dillard was able to wheel the black Mustang and it’s 632 cubic inch powerplant to the number one qualifying position. A 4.73 @ 166mph was the magic number to beat but it wouldn’t be enough as Dillard was ousted in the first round of competition.

One of the most anticipated debuts had to be Tim Lynch and his Skinny Kid Race Cars built C6 Corvette. The Pro Line crew made its first appearance with the Corvette and Orangeburg and was simply trying to work the new car bugs out which may have been a pleasant surprise for the competition. Tim was struggling to get the car to build boost on the line which ultimately came from a cracked boost tube that is integrated in the cars front frame rail. With the repairs planned out you can be sure that you will see Tim and his whole crew at the NHRA Unleashed event in Atlanta.
