For the first time in many years, we are thrilled to announce the return of Pro Modified doorslammers to the Pepsi Nightfire Nationals. An open qualified field will be converging on Firebird over the August 11-13 weekend.

A staple on the Firebird schedule dating back to 1989, Pro Mods have long been fan favorites. The diversity and variety set these cars a part from all others on the quarter-mile strip. Not only do they come in all shapes and sizes, but their powerplants range from mild to wild. Blown, nitrous and even turbocharged entries will take up residency at Firebird’s “signature event” of the season this August.

Leading the charge will be Sean Renteria with a four-door, yes-a more door Plymouth Valiant that has rocked into the 5-second zone. Renteria is the current front man for the Xtreme Pro Mods West organization. With cars based all over the west, the association is continuing to rapidly grow in size, support and enthusiasm.

This year’s major announcement even caught the intrigue of former four-time Nightfire Pro Mod champion Dennis Radford. He has secured his original bright orange Cuda, one of his all-time great rides, and has his sights set on getting back to Firebird’s winner’s circle.

Looking back at Nightfire history, here are all the different champions dating back to the first year. In 1989, both Wayne Torkelson and John Scialpi traveled to Idaho and battled it out with their Ford `n Chevy Blown Doorslammers. It would be “Ford” winning that first Nightfire crown!
