DINWIDDIE, Va. (October 11, 2009) - In the reasonably short history of Pro Modified drag racing, there has never been anything like this weekend's Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge at the NHRA Virginia Nationals. The stands were full and the fans stood and cheered as records were broken, re-broken, and broken yet again. Side-by-side runs in the 5.80's, nitrous cars blasting into uncharted territory, and a turbo-charged monster that sucked the wind from the sails of every other car with a 253.28 mph blast. In the end, Jay Payne defended his event title and won the Warrior and Mike Knowles who failed to even qualify walked away with an NHRA Wally.
After fighting a 4-week gremlin in his GT500 Ford Mustang, Tim Tindle and the Tindle Racing Team are making progress and gaining ground at the NHRA Virginia Nationals. Tindle qualified in the top half of the field with a 5.93, 240 mph and defeated Mike Castellana in the opening round of the Get Screened America Promod Challenge, presented by ProCare RX.
DINWIDDIE, Va. (October 10, 2009) - Rick Stivers, driver of the Trane '06 Stratus Pro Mod, ran a World Record ET Saturday in his first-round victory in the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge at the NHRA Virginia Nationals. 
DINWIDDIE, Va. (October 10, 2009) - After running a 6.027 at 239.10 to qualifying No. 15 in the ultra-quick field of the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge event at the NHRA Virginia Nationals, home builder Joe Baker blasted to a first-round upset holeshot victory over No. 2 qualifier Brad Personett to advance to the second round on Sunday at Virginia Motorsports Park. He also claimed the B&J Transmissions Bonus cash by winning the round.
DINWIDDIE, Va. (October 10, 2009)- R2B2 Racing teammates Melanie Troxel and Raymond Commisso are set for a showdown in the second round of eliminations on Sunday in the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge presented by ProCare Rx at the NHRA Virginia Nationals. Commisso tore down the track to victory in round-one action Friday evening, sending current points leader Burton Auxier packing and giving owner/driver Roger Burgess a boost in his bid to take the lead in the points race. 
DINWIDDIE, Va. (October 9, 2009) - Roger Burgess grabbed the No. 2 spot in the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge event at the NHRA Virginia Nationals Friday while his teammates Raymond Commisso and Melanie Troxel both blasted five-second runs and claimed top-half provisional qualifying positions.
DINWIDDIE, Va. (October 9, 2009) - "This Trane is on a rail," said Pro Mod driver Rick Stivers as he reveled in his provisional No. 1 qualifying position in the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge event at the NHRA Virginia Nationals. Both of Stivers passes in the Trane '06 Stratus Pro Mod on Friday were in the five second zone, saving his best for last and blasting to a 5.906 at 242.32 mph to lead the field overnight.
DINWIDDIE, Va. (October 9, 2009) - At any other race track this season, a Pro Mod running a 6.027 at 239.10 mph would most likely be good enough to make the top half of the field, but at this weekend's Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge event at the NRHA Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park just outside of Richmond, driver Joe Baker found out that a 6.02 is only good enough to take a provisional No. 13.
