Paul Gargus added another accomplishment to his racing career this weekend, winning his first-ever Pro Mod race with Scott Tidwell Racing at the Mid-West Drag Racing Series and Radial Outlaw Racing Series event.
The two-time Limited Drag Radial (LDR) champion qualified No. 3 in a stacked field of 31 Pro Mods, where only 16 cars made race day eliminations.
Gargus worked his way through the field and met Aaron Wells in the final round. With the win on the line, he delivered the quickest run in series history, laying down a 3.547 at 211 MPH to take the victory and set a new MWDRS Stroud Safety Pro Mod record.
For Gargus, the win marks an impressive debut in one of the toughest classes in drag racing. Already known for his success in LDR competition, including two championships and being one of the category's most successful drivers, he wasted no time proving he could compete at the highest level of Pro Mod racing.
Congratulations to Paul Gargus, Scott Tidwell Racing, and the entire team on a historic weekend. Winning your first Pro Mod race is a remarkable accomplishment. Winning it while setting a new series record makes it even more memorable.
Scott Taylor earned a $10,000 payday after winning the Outlaw Syndicate Racing Series Small Tire event at Southside Dragway, while also setting a new track record.
Travis Harvey captured the $125,000 Pro Mod Mania title at Milan Dragway with a perfect .0000 reaction time in the final round. Harvey's 3.605-second pass at 208.24 mph held off Melanie Salemi's quicker 3.602-second run, proving once again that races are won at both ends of the track. The victory marked one of the most exciting finishes of the weekend at IHRA Pro Mod Mania.
