"ICEMAN" COOLS THE COMPETITION
Shannon Jenkins won his second straight IHRA Pro Mod event
by dropping number 16 qualifier and points leader Al Billes in the final.
It was a classic Jenkins performance. He holeshotted every opponent
he ran against with the exception of defending Pro Mod champ Mike Janis.
Janis left first but Jenkins just powered by the supercharged car for
the win. In fact, in the four laps that it took for Jenkins' nitrous
aided car to get to the winners circle, he ran supercharged cars three
times and beat them every time. They're going to have to start calling
Jenkins "Butter" instead of "Iceman" because he sure is on a roll.
HOOVER WON'T SWITCH . . . YET
Ed Hoover told DRO that his new Tommy Mauney blown Pro
Mod is just a few weeks away from being ready to race. But don't look
for Hoover to soon exit the nitrous oxide 'Vette with which he has won
two IHRA Pro Mod events.
"I'll start running a blown car when the weather at the
races starts getting more favorable for the blown cars. Look for my
blown car to debut sometime in September." Hoover added, "unless things
in Pro Mod change drastically."
