Pro Mod Pit Notes from Norwalk

Robert Patrick

In the first round of Pro Mod Eliminations on Saturday night, half of the eight rounds were won on a holeshot. Also half of the winners came from the bottom half of the qualified field.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of the sixteen qualified cars in Pro Mod 11 were Chevy, 4 FoMoCo, and a lone Pontiac. In Pro Stock were there were only 17 cars total and there were just two brands represented Chevy and Mopar; Ford did not have a single Pro Stock entry.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Winner Mike Janis gave a lot of credit for his car's recent improved performance to changing his rear tires to Goodyear.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If there were ever an indicator of just how good the current NHRA Pro Mod rules are it is that of the quick 16 cars qualified 7 were supercharged, 5 nitrous oxide injected and 4 used turbochargers. Now that is parity!
