(4-23-2014) Baldwinville, MA – After a disappointing start of the season on the newly build Dan Page 69’ Dodge Daytona Pro Mod at the NHRA Gatornationals in March, the team decided to regroup and visit Pete Farber’s old stomping grounds, the NEOPMA (Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association) Door Wars event April 11-13 at Maryland International Raceway.
“We had chassis setup issues at the Gators and did not have a lot of testing time prior to the Gators as we just completed the car a few weeks earlier.” Farber said. “Going to the NEOPMA Door Wars event which is quarter mile and similar rules to NHRA gave us a chance to get the chassis right and compete with some great Pro Mods.”
After struggling in Friday’s test sessions and the first two qualifiers on Saturday, the team felt they found the issue and the 3rd qualifier was going to be the one, and it sure was, shooting to #1 with a blistering 5.881 at 247.93. The CRC 69’ Daytona won two rounds and losing by .012 in the semis to eventual event winner Dwayne Wolfe.
The team is heading to Osage Casino, Tulsa OK. Raceway Park to do some more testing Wednesday and to get more data going into this weekend’s 27th annual O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Spring Nationals with Pro Mods Presented by J&A Service.
The Spring Nationals is the second race on the ten race NHRA Pro Modified Series and held at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas; 25 miles east of downtown Houston on the weekend of April 25th-27th.
Farber, who finished 8th in the 2013 NHRA Pro Mod series, is looking to go rounds and make a move this weekend up the points ladder. The beautiful Red 69’ Daytona is a crowd favorite, and be sure to stop by the pits to visit the CRC sponsored Pro Mod.
Four Pro Mod qualifying sessions are scheduled for 3:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Friday, and 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Eliminations start at 12:00 p.m. Sunday. Live timing results are available at NHRA.com.
