The Illegal Engines That Rocked Pro Stock: NHRA's Biggest Cheating Scandal
In the 1990s, Pro Stock was rocked by allegations of hidden nitrous oxide systems. The Wayne County Speed Shop's Dodge team dominated until a mysterious 1997 break-in destroyed their engines. Then Jerry Eckman's nitrous bottle exploded at Columbus, exposing the scandal. NHRA suspended drivers indefinitely and levied massive fines. Rumors persist about nitrous hidden in water jackets, crankshaft passages, and disguised as grease guns. Bob Glidden accused competitors publicly. The controversy exposed the darkest chapter in Pro Stock history and changed NHRA inspection forever.
