Default Congrats to Shane Molinari NHRA PRO MOD WINNER!

Can't believe no one has congratulated this guy on his 1st career NHRA PRO MOD WIN At NORWALK of all places!
The guy ran KRE PONTIAC POWER FOR YEEEARS in Top Sportsman out west and did quiet well then stepped UP to the NFL (PRO)style heads up drag racing!

Probably not Pontiac power now but a huge accomplishment for sure!!!!!!

Congrats Shane!

I remember that name. Great win!
What was his KRE combo, what did it run ? (leave it to a Pontiac guy to care more about his slower Top Sportsman car than Pro Mod But..)

So, what is the "reliable" Pontiac limit these days ? 2500-3000HP ?
And what is the difference in what it takes HP wise to be competitive in NHRA Pro Mod ?

Congrats, Shane!

Love the look of his Bird in Pro Mod.

He used to run a 68 Goat with a blower at Norwalk when I saw it.

It also was a good looking car.
