In Part 2 of Pro Modified: Two Decades of Thrills, we focused on the World’s Fastest Group and how the racers sought a niche in which to gain match race bookings. We also focused on the performance milestones with the races to the six second and 200 mph barriers. We closed with the introduction of a new management at the IHRA and the continued progress of the Quick Eight program.

In the third installment, we will look into the natural rivalry the movement created, the impact that a major nitrous company founder had on the class, how Pro Modified was named, the announcement of the class and its exhibition introduction.
