A Pro Mod dream becomes a reality
Mar.10
 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (March 8) -- After a decade of existence as an exhibition class, the Pro Mod cars are now a fully sanctioned NHRA class, and team owner/driver Roger Burgess couldn't be happier.
"A lot of people contributed a lot of time and effort to make this happen," Burgess said. "By becoming an official class it legitimizes everything we've been doing. Racing for Wally (trophies) is going to be very exciting. Everyone wants one of those little gold men. They are the NHRA's iconic symbol of success.
"Being on ESPN2 also will help tremendously, especially with bringing corporate sponsors to the table for all of our competitors. This is big year for us."
Since the announcement of the NHRA Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series, the requests for a spot in the elite field have gone off the charts.

Pro Slammers, On Fire with $5000 Payout
Mar.10
 The
7 Second Pro Slammers Association is gaining momentum as the word of
the $5000 guaranteed payout at the first event spreads. With a
guaranteed purse to the winner and runner up; it’s no wonder why this
association has spread like a wild fire. At the request of multiple
teams, Pro Slammers will have a special test session held at Sacramento
Raceway on March 27th in preparation for the first race, “Funny Car
Fever” hosted by 619 Promotions. Since its inception, the newly formed
class has drawn a lot of interest from teams in and around California,
Arizona and even as far as Alaska. “In today’s economy if you want to
make it you’d better give something to the racers or they will park
their cars and that’s what Pro Slammers is here for. We didn’t have a
choice we had to start this association because of a need to fill the
gaps of classes falling off, others having too many rules and let’s
face it the fans want “heads up” 7.0 racing. Just look at the trend of
the TV shows and most track formats, it’s clear to see where the demand
is”, says the PDSCA. Teams are signing up from Nevada and Oregon that are going to run with
the Pro Slammers and that is great news for a new association. Daryl
Jensen’s 59 Corvette; John Overholser’s beautiful 1956 Chevy ; along
with Howard Anderson’s 38’ Chevy Coupe; and The Mallicoat Brothers 68
Cuda are just a few of the guys that support this class. The emails
and calls are rolling in and we believe that Pro Slammers will be a
premier class on the West Coast. There are a lot of guys who needed
this to happen, either because of finances or just wanted to try
something different.
