The technical requirements and the NHRA rulebook section called «Pro Modified» appeared fifteen years ago. And in 2011, a national record time on kvotere installed Melanie Troxel, remained intact. No one could compete in speed with a woman, which is still the only driver in the history of the NHRA, to win in both divisions nitromethane (Top Fuel, Funny Car), as well as in the classroom Pro Modified.
After the news of an imminent transition to injection engines in the class of Pro Stock sunk to the paddock, the pilot of the Gray Motorsports Jonathan Gray responded to such a turn of events is much more radical than his colleagues and not voicing plans about their future career, said that under the new rules chase flatly refuses. And at the end of last year it was reported that Jonathan will start the new season at the wheel of PTE Chevy Camaro Challenge Pro Modified cars under the auspices of the NHRA.
One of the heroes of the third stage began in Gainesville Jack Beckman, once again moving closer the time bar in the classroom Funny Car. Jonathan Gray also appreciated the quality of training strip at the weekend and was able to finally overcome seemingly for five years indestructible barrier flying the quarter mile in 5.751 seconds.
Since, in accordance with the new rules of records no longer require confirmation, Gray result will automatically become a part of history.
Given that record became the very first (!) To check on Jonathan's elimination as a pilot Pro Modified dregster, competitors should be taken to a debutant with the utmost seriousness, because more loudly really hard about their intentions.
