MAPLE GROVE HOSTS PRO MODS

The Northeast Outlaws Pro Mod Association bills itself as providing “extreme racing.”
 
Fans who attend the Rumble at the Grove this Saturday should see plenty of it as cars featuring 800-plus cubic inch motors and 2,500 horsepower blower motors will be zipping down Maple Grove Raceway’s quartermile strip at 200 mph.
 
There will be two classes of competition with Nitrous cars taking on Normally Aspirated ones, and Blowers vs. Turbos. The drivers will be battling for a $3,000 first prize in each category.
