Almost a dozen Pro Modified entries are testing this weekend at the revamped Orangeburg Drag Strip in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The testing conditions were aided by Chamber of Commerce weather and a track temp of 90-degrees by mid-afternoon.

The perfect conditions threw some teams a curve and many were struggling to make full passes on the eighth-mile track.

Kerry Crosby, record holder for the Automatic Pro Modifieds, produced the first full run with a 4.13 elapsed time.  Roger Johanson and Greg Godwin followed with a pair of 4.08 elapsed times.

Most teams were able to get in three test runs before the sun dropped behind the trees and the track temp plummeted below 60-degrees by 6 PM.

Testing will resume at noon on Saturday after the gates open at 11 AM.

Making passes today were: Kerry Crosby, Roger Johansson, Burton Auxier, Bubba Stanton, Annette Summer, Mike Castellana, Herman Sheppard, Greg Godwin, Jerry Bridgeforth, Sonny Tindal, Carol Long.

Steve Vick was in the staging lane when a leak in the nitrous delivery system was discovered and dashed his chances for a run today.
