Three-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion Antron Brown and drag radial star Manny Buginga race in very different worlds. But thanks to a mutual friend, their worlds are coming together […]

Never driven either but I'd guess that despite the massive power difference, it's easier to drive a fuel dragster than a Pro 275 car. Still, I'm not surprised Antron adapted to it immediately. Hope he does well at that race.

He was No.1 qualifier at some point yesterday, anybody know how he did the rest of the event?

So, what will the future bring for AB? T/F and P/M?????? Stay tuned, folks.....

PRO 275 Antron Brown in the seat. He beat Marcus Birt in the final, 3.713 at 201.91 to a losing 3.73. Check out Antron's
eyes. The guy is focused, always thought Antron is the real deal!

Wonder what Antron thinks about 1/8 mile racing?

It's more about being naturally and immensely talented at driving race cars.

I would imagine he's just fine with it - for that class. Not Top Fuel. Geezus; 3.71 on 275 drag radials? I'm still amazed at how they're getting those cars to hook. We're talking 3000+hp doorslammers.

Antron can apparently drive ANYTHING!

Antron said the track was so sticky he couldn't walk on it.

That's how a radial-prepped track is. Normal slicks won't even work on it because they'll just wad up and rattle. Making fast runs on radials would be impressive on regular-prepped tracks (much less no-prep), but in these circumstances, that's the only way to be fast.
