Pro Modified Racing Association With close to two dozen Pro Modified teams in Ontario and Western New York, there was a need for these teams to compete on a regular basis in front of their local fans. Missouri's Tim McAmis was the first IHRA Pro Modified champ in 1990, and cars were running the low to mid-seven elapsed times with speeds of around 200 mph. Today's Pro Modified teams have the choice of running either a supercharged engine with a maximum displacement of 527 cubic inches, or an unblown-engine with nitrous oxide in a powerplant of up to a whopping 740 cubic inches. www.promodifiedracing.com /aboutus.html   (983 words)

Drag Racing Online - Analysis: Pro Mod Change pg.1 Vol. III No. 11 November 2001 Pro Modified was a kinder and gentler place to race in those days. Fast forward the class a dozen years and it appears that the same kind of cataclysmic changes that occurred to Pro Modified in the early nineties are about to happen again, except this time they may be even more traumatic for the competitors. Up to this point in the history of Pro Mod only Scotty Cannon has had that kind of program and all he did was win six IHRA World Championships and totally dominate the class. www.dragracingonline.com /analysis/promod_1.html   (608 words)

Ultimate Pro Modifieds If Pro Modified had been around for the last three decades and had grown to the level of popularity that the Funny Cars and Pro Stocks, have you ever wondered who might have given this class a try. While we tend to think WJ puts up a front that he is against Pro Modified's existence, there's a good chance that he'd jump at the chance of a fully funded, Hurst/Olds from the musclecar days equipped with a modern EFI-system, spraying nitrous, of course. Of course, in a perfect world for Pro Modified fans, GM would be involved in the development of the deal. www.hotrodsbyburke.com /fantasy_promods.htm   (757 words)

NHRA Pro Modified Drag Racing - Popular Mechanics While their appearance at NHRA meets is a relatively recent development, the Pro Mods have long been crowd pleasers in the events staged by rival race-sanctioning body, the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA). Speculation that the Pro Mods might fill the slot left by the elimination of the Pro Stock Truck category at the end of the 2001 season is dismissed--insistently--by NHRA officials who spoke with the PM.Zone. Even so, Pro Mod racers who attended the Englishtown race are so eager to nurture a relationship with the largest drag-race promoter that they ignored a much more lucrative IHRA event held the same weekend. www.popularmechanics.com /automotive/motorsports/1269026.html?page=2   (398 words)
