Pro Mod is tougher than it appears...
by Horsepower & Heels
posted June 18, 2009 at 12:55pm
The biggest lesson I've learned in the past few years of downtime is to fully appreciate how much it takes to build/race/maintain a racecar at this level of competition. The costs, the devotion, the hard work, and the risks are just mind-blowing. And it c...more
