Our favorite heads-up class, the NMCA WEST's Outlaw 8.5, was sponsored once again by the fastener experts at ARP, which means you get to see wild 8th mile racing on the west coast in 2013.  

 They used to call 10.5-inch tire heads-up classes, "the freak show," and if that's true  then these 1000+ hp-on-9-inch tire cars should be considered the baddest freaks of the show. These cars run in the low five second range in the 8th mile, which is sneaking up on high seven/low eights in the quarter-mile. For the NMCA's schedule log onto:
