It is finally time for the NHRA Pro Mod season to kick off. This weekend in Indy will be the first time that the NHRA pro mods get to compete this season, and 2018 World Champion Mike Janis is looking to come in hot.

A couple of weeks ago, E3xtreme photographer David Hilner made the trip down to Dragway 42 and spent some time with Mike. The team was there testing the new EFI combo, and getting all the bugs worked out. With help from Jeff Jones and Brandon Pesz, Mike felt it was a great test session. Though it was blisteringly hot out, that will help Mike this weekend, given the fact that they will face the same kind of weather in Indy.

While we aren’t sure from week to week in this industry what is going to happen, we at E3xtreme certainly hope that the NHRA Pro Mods are able to run a full and exciting season. In the meantime here are some photos that David captured while at Dragway 42.
