 The
PRA PRO MODIFIED EIGHT-SECOND
CLUB is a
performance club that honors the
drivers in the PRA Pro Modified
class who have run 8.99 seconds or
better in the quarter-mile. To
make it into this club they must run
the eight-second
pass at a PRA event during
qualifying or eliminations.
Unlike the ET and MPH records this
does not need to be backed up and
has no affect on point standings or
payouts. The first member of
this club was Eric Calabrese
(pictured to the right) who guided
his 1957 VW Bug (Red Baron) to a
8.99 second pass on September 5,
2004 at Sacramento Raceway.
Since then he has made numerous
eight-second passes and currently
holds the PRA Pro Modified ET record
of 8.48. Give Eric a few more
years and he may be the first member
of the PRA Pro Modified Seven-Second
Club? |
