Folks the Mid South Pro Mod Nationals took place this weekend and lots of fun was had!

Here are a few final observations.

Pro Modified qualifying on Saturday showed us that the track at Jackson can hold high horsepower machines.
Jerry Prater's '63 Corvette got down both lanes with an admitted soft tuneup. During Saturday's first session he pedeled the car to a respectable 4.59 169mph in the right lane and came back in the night session for a bracket like consistent 4.55 166 mph.

On the Announce Deck, both Racers For Christ Chaplain Allen Posey and I speculated that the car was softened up to get down the track and Prater delivered. On his first pass he pedaled the car and he said that it could have been in the 4.30's had he not had to lift!
He proved a lot on the track so far as the tracks ability to hold high horsepower.

Speaking of Racers For Christ, it was cool to meet RFC Chaplain Allen Posey this weekend. The RFC has been helping racers for almost 40 years and they are a fantastic organization and a worthy addition to the motorsports family. Allen served yeoman's duty as Chaplain, roving pit reporter and color commentator during the weekend.

The Lynch Mob funny car from Nashville made an exhibition pass on Saturday night also. He laid down a sizzling 4.44 in the right lane with a soft tune up.

In the bracket portion of Saturday Night's fun had a huge turnout by the bracket racers! Almost 70 Footbrake drivers and almost 50 Super Pro racers took to the track.

Overall, the big crowd of spectators got a chance to take in some high horsepower Pro Modifieds and lots of razor close bracket racing action.

It was a blast!
