PRO MOD

Two Pro Mods made the trip, Rod Burbage and Garrett Richards at the wheel of the Ford Mustang powered by a Walt Austin Ford Shotgun motor. This motor once banned by the NHRA for use in Top Alcohol Funny Car and Dragster.

After years of development, testing, and struggling, it appears that the team has a firm grasp on the combination.

So with just two cars in Pro Mod it would be one and done for the money.

The two cars lined up and when the tree came down, the cars left door handle to door handle till just after sixty feet when Burbage pounded the rear tires forcing him to lift. That allowed Richards to streak to the finish line, lifting early when the car moved around on the top end, but there was enough distance to insure the win, 6.20/213.43 to cover Burbage’s 8.07 at 130.57.
