Outlaw 10.5 will return to the PDRA schedule in 2018 thanks to backer Atomizer Racing Injectors. The class will be contested at four events this season: the East Coast Spring Nationals at GALOT Motorsports Park, April 5-7, the Firecracker Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park, June 28-30, the Super Strip Nationals at National Trail Raceway, July 19-21 and the World Finals at Virginia Motorsports Park, October 18-20.

Atomizer Racing Injectors Outlaw 10.5 will run for a PDRA World Championship and has the opportunity to grow into a full schedule in the future.

“We really enjoy the Outlaw 10.5 class,” said PDRA’s Bob Harris. “We’re excited to have them back this season and look forward to a good turn out. They put on a great show for the fans and represent a unique aspect of Pro Mods that we are proud to have represented at the PDRA this season. Small tire racing is exciting.”

“Outlaw 10.5 was really hot back in the early 2000s,” said Outlaw founder Jack French. “The radial class then became very popular with many racers moving in that direction. Now, since getting back to the tracks, I’ve seen a lot of diehard Outlaw 10.5 racers that are still out there and needed a venue to run in. So what I wanted to do was help grow the Outlaw 10.5 class back to where it once was. We stepped aside for several years to grow this business. Now that we’ve got a handle on our products, marketing and so forth, we decided to step back into racing.”

“We are grateful to Jack and Atomizer for their support and the role they’ve played in bringing Outlaw 10.5 back to the PDRA,” said PDRA Marketing Director, Will Smith. “The company puts a large focus on giving back to the racers, and, like the PDRA, is ‘by racers for racers,’”

“I think small tire racing is very exciting," added French. "You’re basically taking a Pro Mod drivetrain and putting it in a car that was originally built for the street, would have had a VIN number at one time and a small tire. The tire, the tune and the track are the limiting factors of the class. There’s always a lot of power and it’s fun to watch the teams get it to the pavement. It’s exciting for the fans and the racers themselves.”
