this past weekend was the first weekend that the nhra allowed an automatic transmission to compete in pro mod.
quote from rossler transmissions, builder of the unit, and not too far down the road form me-
"With NHRA now Allowing Automatic's to Compete in Pro-Mod. R2B2 Racing has wasted no time in taking advantage of the Rule Change, Building a new 53 Corvette with our TH210XHD Went 5.88 E.T. ¼ Mile at 255Mph running in Legal NHRA Pro-Mod Trim. That beats Coby Rabon's 5.96 For the Quickest Automatic and Tying the Official NHRA Pro-Mod MPH Record at 255. These are Awesome Numbers for a Brand new Car's First Week of Testing."
first weekend out with the car and almost sets the promod mph record.
