At the last PRI trade show, we managed to catch Shane Tecklenburg once again to gain an insight into his exploits with the NHRA - E3 Spark Plugs Pro Mod Drag Racing Series via the Elite Motorsports/Modern Racing team. With 3 cars on track piloted by Erica Enders, Alex Laughlin and Steve Matusek the Pro Mod series was a new project after the teams' success in the Pro Stock series, but it didn’t come without a steep learning curve given the heavy dependence on experience (guessing and checking) the Pro Mod drag racing regulations spur.
Some of the differences between a turbocharged and supercharged car are discussed along with some of the processes the NHRA implements to ensure ECU’s supplied by MoTeC and other companies do not give teams any technical advantage over one another in the form of traction or boost control of which there is a restriction that can be changed during a season in the interests of parity.
