Currently the fastest Pontiac body is in the studio Larry Jeffers Race Cars, where the car is exposed to all the necessary improvements in order to comply with strict regulations for the class of NHRA Pro Mod.

And Will is not the most popular configuration of the power plant to compete with the best representatives of the division's largest event in the world — is also the cause of many discussions. Currently strip record is 5.940 seconds, and the well-known rider and his team will have to make every effort to qualify, because the competition in Indianapolis is simply prohibitive.
