<div>Chris Evans and Matt Butrim teamed up in the off season to build one of the wildest drag radial cars we have seen in some time. Well while its not a new car, it is unique. Evans’ Mustang has been around for years, competing in a variety of classes. Finally the new engine combination found its way into the engine bay has put it in another league. Butrim came up with the big block Chevrolet power that is fed by a huge Procharger, and it was all mated into Evans’ car. The end result has already led to some real serious numbers as well as showing plenty of promise for the big races that are to come yet this season.<br />

<br />
Last night at Maryland International Raceways “War on Wheels” race, Butrim found himself behind the wheel of the green hatchback and it turned out to be a career night. In the first qualifier Butrim went right to the front of the pack with a 4.87, which was followed by Richie Stine in #2. <br />
<br />
Qualifying didn’t change after the second session which opened up in to the first round of eliminations. Matt Butrim came out with a improved 4.79 to take down Steve Haun and then onto take out Scott Bitzer in round two. <br />
<br />
The finals were set and it would be Butrim versus Stine. Stine has been the man to beat in Real Street at MIR for the past few seasons. With the stage set Butrim and Stine rolled to the lights and it was Stine out in front early but the big horsepower of the Procharged combination was coming hard. It was Matt Butrim getting to the stripe first with a 4.71@152mph which is a new eighth mile record for Real Street @ MIR.<br />

I had the opportunity to speak with Chris Evans a few weeks ago and he said that they were very anxious to get after the tune on the car. They also wanted to be able to beat Richie Stine in his house and that dream has come true. A big congratulations to Chris and Matt on a job well done. I myself can not wait to see what they come up with once they get the back half of the track figured out.</div>
