Johnny Pluchino continues his Pro Outlaw 632 series domination
Second-generation racer Johnny Pluchino of Oakdale, NY continued his dominance of the Pro Outlaw 632 series in the PDRA Summer Nationals June 30 in Valdosta, GA.
Pluchino hit a top speed of 164.27 miles an hour in 4.322 seconds on the South Georgia Motorsports Park one-eighth mile drag strip for his third PDRA victory of the season in the Strutmasters.com machine with a 632 cubic engine, normally-aspirated engine.
Runner-up Chris Holdorf was faster (4.306 seconds and 166.68 mph). However, the Strutmasters.com driver gained a hole shot victory because of a superior reaction time at the starting line -- just 0.046 seconds.
“The PDRA people are tired of me dominating, so they added another 50 pounds of weight to our car with absolutely no warning,” said Pluchino, the 2018 series champion. “I won my semi-final round by just one-thousandth of a second. Holdorf was faster than me in the finals, but we still won anyway.”
