And In The Beginning There Were Pro Mods

Text by Alan Currans ~ Photos by Benoit Pigeon

Ex-pat Frenchman, now US resident and professional photographer, Benoit Pigeon is a big fan of the doorslammer classes. Fortunately for us, he was out and about with his cameras in the late 1980s and early ‘90s to capture images of the newly emerging Pro Modified class.

As you will see, many of the cars look more like modified Pro Stocks than the cars we are familiar with today. Those with a technical leaning will find a comparison of those early chassis with current designs of interest.
