Default NHRA turbo ProMods at Bristol Saturday in a "strange" DA.
One turbo Promod in 2010....looks like 6 or 7 turbo ProMods in 2011.

Bristol always has a bad DA to make power, but Saturday night was....


"Weather conditions: air temperature 73 degrees, relative humidity 69 percent, barometer 28.37 inches, adjusted altitude 35,743,560 feet, track temperature 93 degrees."


Per the NHRA website...lol...

Did you see that ProMod crash on Saturday I think? Looked pretty nasty and the guy walked away with just a bruised heel.

There were two crashes at Bristol in Pro Mod. One was Rickie Smith, and he did have some injuries.




The other was Burgess

Looked like a fire bottle, pretty common for those to be mounted in the nose or tail.
