Long time Team ProTorque racer John Urist won the 2014 NMRA Spring Break Shootout in Street Outlaw,after qualifing #1 and resetting the SO record. John,a muliti time world champion, was using a new ProTorque Gen X converter.

He was one of the first test subjects in 2013 to use it, and it looks as if testing went very well for him and his team. This new billet bolt-together platform is being released to the rest of the racing world and are available with many stator options to compliment a racers particular combination.

Urist responded with the best performance of anyone in the class with a 7.042 at 200.71 MPH to top the qualifying ladder heading into Saturday. There, he took his best shot at the track again, but was unable to put complete runs together, leaving Friday’s performance as the one to beat come Sunday. With Ronnie Diaz as his first-round opponent, Urist went one tick better, closing out the first round with a quickest-ever Street Outlaw-record blast of 7.032 at 197 MPH before cruising through the next two rounds, eliminating Tony Alm and taking the competition bye before facing off with Phil Hines in the final round. Urist took out Hines in the process of going wire-to-wire with a 7.10 to Hines’ 7.15
