(09-29-2014 Mechanicsville, MD) The Second Annual International Pro Mod Challenge was an overwhelming success with 33 pro mods in attendance, several cars running in the 5.90’s and quicker and many more running in the 6.0 range. 2012 [NEOPMA] Champion Fredy Scriba and the “Sorcerer Team” had their 63’ Pro Mod Corvette ready for action and proved it with an impressive 5.91 personal best ET and win at the second annual “International Pro Mod Challenge” at Maryland International Raceway this past weekend. Fred’s consistency was awesome, and [NEOPMA] Team USA take the Title back from Canada at the Pro Mod Challenge’s second event.

The weather all weekend was perfect. Team USA had their Pro Mods ready for action. Fredy Scriba and Steve Drummond moved through the field with impressive runs, with their best times of eliminations a 5.91 for Fredy in the finals, and a 6:01 for Steve in the second round. Other highlights included Matt Deitsch running for the first time in 2014 went a 6:08, Steve Assenmacher ran a 6.13 with a 738CI nitrous motor. The shot heard around the web was Robert Patrick running a 5.81 and setting the MIR track ET record.

NEOPMA also ran a Quick 8 due to the overwhelming amount of Pro Mods in attendance and to give the huge crowd in attendance bonus drag racing for the enjoyment. Steve Kramer/Paul Woods Racing dominated the Quick 8 running consistent 6:20’s to get to the winners circle.

The International Pro Mod Challenge had the look and feel of a National event featuring some of the fastest door cars in the world, and judging by the excitement of the fans and forums this event was a huge success.

“Fan attendance and excitement was amazing. Stands were packed for this huge Quarter Mile Pro Mod event. The last several years have been extraordinary for the NEOPMA at MIR. The fans show their support for the track and racers by filling the stands to standing room only events. This is a testament to the Miller Family and staff for maintaining a great facility, preparing a fast, safe track for our racers and helping build the NEOPMA into the largest quarter mile pro mod series in the country”, states John Mazzorana of the NEOPMA.

The NEOPMA Pro Mod Series continues with the Pro Mod Wars final event of 2014, October 18th at Atco Dragway, Atco, NJ. This event will determine the 2014 NEOPMA Pro Mod Champion.
