CAYUGA, ON – The second of this year’s Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Challenge’s at Empire Dragway, in Leicester, NY is set to take place August 18-19. While Melanie Salemi and John Camp were declared co-winners in the Pro Modified final at the previous Challenge, the finals in the companion Quick 32 Sportsman Series were postponed due to the weather.
Top Dragster and Top Sportsman cars competed on their own with the Pro Modifieds, but the final two postponed rounds will take place on Friday August 18. Top Dragster and Top Sportsman finals will take place at 2:00 pm, with the finals of the Quick 32 Sportsman Series at 4:00 pm. The second complete program of Pro Modifieds and Quick 32 Sportsman Series entries will begin qualifying on Friday at 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm and Saturday at 12:00 pm, with eliminations starting at 2:00 pm.
