The second stop of the season for the Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series takes place this weekend during the 23rd annual O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park. For past Pro Street world champion Troy Coughlin, this trip to the Lone Star State offers a chance to reel in his supercharged counterparts in the popular Pro Mod class, which became an official category this year.
"We saw some incredible numbers being posted at the first race in Gainesville (Fla.)," Coughlin said. "Some teams just blew the world record out of the water. That usually doesn't happen in drag racing. I mean, you'll see people gain a thousandth of a second here or there, but we saw improvements close to a tenth of second. It was remarkable.
"Our nitrous-powered JEGS.com Camaro is brand new and it was running pretty well but we have some work to do to catch up. We're a few hundredths off the top NOS racers, and they're almost nine hundredths off the best supercharged cars."
