Pro Modified

Due to the near-limitless engine/drivetrain combinations and incredibly lenient rule system used by most Pro Modified racing organizations (for example, no manufacturers matching engine and body requirement), competing teams in this series of drag racing have virtually every freedom to make their car as fast and competitive as it can possibly be.

Picking up where the IHRA left off, the NHRA announced that through a partnership with Get Screened America, Pro Mod would become a full-fledged professional class, running a limited schedule but still competing for national event trophies and a world champion.

The winningest drivers in US Pro Modified history are Scotty Cannon, Mike Janis and Shannon Jenkins.

Simple short header pipes bolted onto the engine block heads extend down from the motor and curve upward just before reaching the ground.

In 2021 and 2022, racer with centrifugal supercharged powertrains took home the NHRA Pro Mod world championship.

Some of the more common body styles include the Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro, the Ford Mustang, and Studebaker vehicles.

Small pick-up trucks, like the Chevrolet S-10 also make for popular Pro Mod vehicle choices.

In 2008, the IHRA banned any body style of a current legal Pro Stock car (Chevrolet Cobalt, Dodge Stratus, or Ford Mustang, Holden Commodore, or the former Pontiac G6 GXP) from being used in Pro Modified, but that rule disappeared when the IHRA ceased sanction of the class.
