Eddie McDow will be competing in the NHRA Division 4 Super Gas this weekend at the Motorplex.
Waco’s Eddie McDow began his racing career over 40 years ago in racing brackets, which is considered the grass roots level of drag racing. He then moved up to the NHRA super classes and raced in the Super Gas. Following his stint in Super Gas, Eddie went on to build a Top Sportsman car and competed in the Championship Bracket Racers Association, finishing No. 2 in the series in 1990. The following year he competed in the “Outlaw” Pro Stock cars and again finished second in that series two years in-a-row. Always wanting to go faster, Eddie moved up to the exciting “Outlaw”Fuel Altereds for two seasons and finished in the top five. After several years, Eddie is competing in the tough NHRA Division 4 Lucas Oil Series in Super Gas/9.90/170 mph, in his Charlie Stewart’s ’63 Corvette Roadster. His car is powered by a 615 cubic inch Reher and Morrison, big block Chevy. Eddie McDow will be racing at the Texas Motorplex AAA Texas NHRA Fall Nationals this weekend.
