Rain dictated the outcome of the FIA European Pro Modified Championship at Santa Pod Raceway last weekend. After a summer of unparalleled dryness, drag racing’s mortal enemy chose decision day at the European Finals to intervene in the continent’s drag racing title chases.
Sunday’s opening round of the 16-car Pro Mod field was scheduled for 10:30am and began at 5pm, once the jet-engined track dryers had primed the course. The eight first-round survivors stood ready at 8pm for round two under the lights when rain resumed to curtail the event.
