Crazy day in Gainesville for Pro Mods; Burgess stays number one |
(03-14-09) GAINESVILLE, FL - With chamber-of-commerce Spring-break weather at the ACDelco NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., drivers in the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge presented by ProCare Rx mostly adapted to the conditions and delivered thrilling performances, while others struggled to keep their cars from riding the guard rails. Qualifying was greatly abbreviated due to the extensive track cleanup required after George Landis banged the wall in his '05 Stratus. According to the local Florida racer, he blew a piston through his engine and punctured the diaper, spreading oil and engine fluids down the full length of the track. Landis was unharmed in the incident, but his Stratus will need serious repair.

Danny rowe looks to get things started at the gatornationals |
(03-13-09) GAINESVILLE, FL – For Danny Rowe, there is no time like the present to set the tone for 2009, and there is no better place to do it than the legendary NHRA Gatornationals this weekend in Gainesville, Florida. Considered the East Coast season-opener, Gainesville’s rich history of record-setting performances bodes well for both Danny Rowe as a driver and Jimmy Rector, who serves as crew chief on the Hottinger Group/Sterling Bridge ’67 Camaro Pro Mod, as it’s become increasingly apparent that it’s going to take consistent performances in the 5-second range to go the distance – especially in the fierce, rough-and-tumble world of the Get Screened America NHRA Pro Mod Challenge.
