Pro Mods
Return to the Motorplex
PITTSBORO, N.C. (April 18, 2016): The Professional Drag
Racers Association (PDRA) brings the quickest and fastest
eighth-mile doorslammers on the planet to Texas Motorplex,
May 19-21. Pro Mods of every make and model will take to
the track, going from 0 to 230 MPH in just 660 feet in
less than 4 seconds. Blown, nitrous-oxide assisted, turbo
and naturally aspirated cars will all take on the
legendary eighth-mile to see who will be crowned this
year’s Texas Nationals Champions.
Missile-like Jet Cars will be going head-to-head in a
unique jet car match race and the PDRA is thrilled also to
feature Danny O’Day’s ATI Wheel Stander, the world’s
quickest wheel stander.
Texas Motorplex is a highlight on the PDRA tour for its
rich history and phenomenal racing surface. In NAS Racing
Pro Extreme Jason Scruggs hopes to continue domination of
the quickest and fastest class of the PDRA in his
Mississippi Missile. To do that, Scruggs must fend off
Frankie Taylor, Randall Reid and Brandon Pesz, who all
call the Motorplex their home stop on the PDRA tour.

Switzer
Dynamics Pro Nitrous presented by MoTeC Systems has been
bringing out the fiercest competition of the PDRA. Any one
of the men or women of the class could bring home the
trophy on race day. Plus, the special race-within-a-race,
the Flatout Gaskets Nitrous Wars, will determine who is
the quickest in qualifying and who gets bragging rights
with the nitrous bottle trophy.
Texas boys Richard Holt and Todd Moyer will look to take
out the heavy hitters i GALOT Motorsports Park Pro Boost,
a class which pits different power adders against one
another in heads up competition.
In a class that redefines the term “extreme,” two wheeled
riders will race at speeds of more than 175 MPH in just
over four seconds. Texas’ own Jeff House will look to
knock down class leaders Chris Garner-Jones and Eric
McKinney in Drag965 Pro Extreme Motorcycle.
The bad boys of Pro Extreme, the fire breathing Pro
Nitrous machines, the side-by-side thrill of Pro Boost,
the “Mountain Motors” of Extreme Pro Stock, and the wild
rides of Pro Extreme Motorcycle will excite fans with
ground-shaking horsepower and mind-blowing performance.
The semi-pro classes of MagnaFuel Top Sportsman and Lucas
Oil Products Top Dragster will also be on display for the
weekend, as well as the young guns of MegaCorp Pro and
Talbert Top Junior Dragster. New this year, the PDRA
offers a Bracket Bash to local competitors. There’s $3,000
on the line for all competitors running 4.99 or quicker in
this event.
