Robin Roberts Dominates Qualifying at Milan with Record-Breaking Pass

Hey Street Outlaws fans! We’ve got some hot updates straight from the action-packed Pro Mod event at Milan Dragway, and if you’re a fan of big power and even bigger rivalries, this one’s for you. The qualifying sessions went down yesterday, and it was none other than Robin Roberts who stole the show with a blistering 3.63 at 208 mph—securing the No. 1 spot and putting everyone on notice.

Now if you’ve been following the Speed Promotions Racing Series like we have here at Street Outlaws Talks, you know the competition just keeps getting tighter. Robin’s Heart Charger, rocking that massive 140mm centrifugal supercharger, is showing serious muscle—outperforming both the ProCharger and even the screw blower setups running at 92% overdrive. That’s no small feat.

Let’s break it down:

• Robin Roberts – 3.63 @ 208 mph

• Cali Mills – 3.66

• Disco Dean – 3.73

• Kye Kelley – 3.74

• Larry Larson & Cold Pass – Both at 3.75

  
  

That means some of the NPK legal cars (yes, we're looking at you Dean, Kye, Larry, and Cold Pass) are all stacked within the top 15—specifically sitting in 10th, 11th, 13th, and 15th spots respectively. For cars built under NPK rules, that’s an impressive showing against full Pro Mod setups.

What really has people talking is just how fast that Heart Charger is. In tough air conditions—around 3,000 feet of density altitude with over 110 grains of water—Robin still clocked 208 mph. By comparison, the fastest screw cars were hitting 203, and ProChargers weren’t much better. That kind of mile-per-hour gap could very well lead to some upcoming rule adjustments. There’s already buzz about possibly removing weight from the ProCharger and screw blower combos to keep things balanced. Right now, the screw combo is still about 50 lbs heavier under current ITA rules.

But let’s not forget Disco Dean. His NPK car has been quietly getting quicker and more dialed in every pass. Yesterday, he ran a 3.73 at 198 mph with a killer 60-foot of 0.930—in some of the worst air we’ve seen in a while. That’s impressive, and it shows just how far that program has come. This is only his second Pro Mod event, and every time out, he gets closer to cracking into the top tier.

Dean is currently tied for third in the points standings and has been using these Pro Mod events to test, tune, and push the limits of what that NPK legal setup can do. Based on what we saw yesterday, he might just be the sleeper pick for the rest of the season.

So, what does all this mean for eliminations? It means we’ve got a stacked field, fierce power adders going head-to-head, and a whole lot of unknowns. Will Robin’s Heart Charger continue to dominate? Can Disco Dean keep climbing and shake up the standings? Will rule adjustments level the playing field?

One thing’s for sure—this season of Speed Promotions Racing is heating up fast, and we’re here for every last second of it.
