Roger Burgess, owner of the R2B2 Pro Mod racing teams and the vision behind the Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series, is announcing the formation of the WorldWide Pro Mod Association, a conglomeration of Pro Mod sanctioning bodies that will coordinate a Worldwide Pro Mod Challenge.
"Pro Mod is a class I love and it's the most popular form of drag racing globally," Burgess said. "Bringing all the world's best Pro Mod racers together has been a dream of mine and now is the perfect time for this bold first step."
The Challenge will be an Olympic-style competition run under NHRA rules. Currently six countries -- the U.S., Canada, England, Sweden, Finland, and Germany -- use NHRA rules for their races. Tracks in the various countries will bid to hold the event at their facilities. More countries will be added as they adopt NHRA rules for their associations.
