The definition above aptly describes “Wild” Bill Devine. If you’re a fan of Ford Mustang Drag Racing, no doubt you’ve heard Bill’s name before, and read about his exploits. A pioneer in the Pro 5.0 class, Bill’s been racing Mustangs for a long time. First with his 89GT, which transformed from a street car into a full-blown tube chassis, turbocharged monster, to his current 2001 purpose-built Pro level chassis, Bill has always been at the forefront of Mustang racing and technology.

A friendship with the late “Racin” Jason Betwarda blossomed when Bill worked at Dayton Ford in New Jersey. Jason turned Bill on to the benefits of turbo charging, and from that day on, the Wild Man never looked back. Bill is the only Pro 5.0 racer to still employ the true 302 block, and has powered his way all the way down into the six-second zone at over 200 miles an hour! Where others have moved up to use a larger Windsor-based engine, Bill has used his skill and knowledge to go just as fast using 50 less cubic inches.

Located in Florida, and backed by his employer, Pro Power Performance Parts, Racecraft Inc, Spaghetti Menders Wiring Specialists, Sniper Tuning, and Pro Turbo Kits, Wild Bill runs the Pro 5.0 class with the NMRA. The ultimate sportsman, Bill is always willing to help other racers who need a hand, and is always willing to lend advice. Supported by his brother, Steve Flanagan, crew member Tom Petrovich and his rock, wife Cheryl, Bill has big plans for competition in 2005 and beyond.
