AMS STAFF LEASING PRO MOD SERIES FINALLY
A REALITY?
After literally months of rumors, negotiations and false
starts, the NHRA and the Tommy Lipar/Dave Wood group have
reportedly signed a contract that will ensure that Pro
Mods will continue to be a part of the NHRA drag racing
series for a least one more year.
As first reported in DRO over a month ago, the rules will
be what have been reported here many times—more overdrive
for blown cars; turbocharged engine combinations will be
added; and late model body styles will carry a weight penalty.
Pro Mod racers will now have to make a decision when it
comes to chasing a Championship because three to five of
the NHRA Pro Mod dates will conflict with IHRA dates. Look
for a press release with all of the
information on www.NHRA.com or www.AMSProMods.com for
more information. (11-19-2004)

A PRO MOD CIRCUIT FOR CANADA
It's just in the very beginning stages but Agent 1320
hears that there is a circuit being put together for Canadian
Pro Mod racers who generally don't go South of their border.
Reportedly there was a meeting with about 16-20 drivers
who said they would participate. There could be as many
as six races with tracks like St. Thomas, Cayuga and Grand
Bend holding events. Reportedly a gentleman by the name
of Bruce Mullinare (the Agent is very unsure of the spelling
and apologizes in advance) would be the man in charge of
the circuit.
The Agent hopes this circuit happens because he has been
to a few Pro Mod races in Canada and can honestly attest
to the fact that Canadian race fans know something about
drag racing, spectating and drinking beer. Party on Garth!
