King Tut dominates EOPM at Coastal Plains
(11-21-2011) JACKSONVILLE, NC – What ended up being a three day race weekend for the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods at Coastal Plains Dragway, 25th Annual Mountain Motor Shootout, could have very likely gone down in outlaw doorslammer history as the closest outlaw Pro Mod qualifying order ever.
Chris Rini was in the Best of the Best Quick 8 with a awesome 3.91 in his Charlie Buck powered Camaro.
Andy Beal was behind him with a 3.925 in his Blown 63 Vette. The 2010 EOPM Champion Dewayne Silance followed with a close 3.929 in his Charlie Buck powered Camaro. The new Big Dogg Champ, Todd Howard made the show with a 3.934 in his Nitrous powered Mustang. Randy Weatherford would be right behind him with a 3.941 in his Nitrous powered Camaro. Kevin Mayer in the famed Pirate Ship Blown Willy's would be on his heels with a 3.943. This would all place Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod star, Steve Drummond in his Turbo powered Mustang on the fastest EOPM bump ever with a 3.956. That's right ladies and gentlemen a 3.91 down to a 3.956, but wait thats only seven cars.

Once again the man known around the world as King Tut, who is a fierce competitor in the ADRL Pro Extreme ranks, would rocket to the top of the qualifying sheet with a new track, and club record at a 3.819. The Carolina Kid Travis Harvey would land in the number nine spot out the show with a 3.97. Steve Cossis would take the tenth seed with a 4.02. George Williams would capture the eleventh spot with a 4.03 and Tommy Mauney would finish qualying in the number twelve spot with 4.043. Ronnie Humphrey of Coastal Plains Dragway would pay 9-12 $300. With twenty seven doorslammers on the grounds the EOPM once again broke the car count record at CPD which brang out many heads-up doorslammer fans. Among those fans were a man and woman who traveled from England to watch this race. We are glad we did not disappoint as they look forward to coming back next November after making many fans in the EOPM pits.

We have to thank all the racers who showed up at Coastal Plains: Dwayne White, Andrew Handras, Dodd Hamilton, Bubba Turner, Bobby Baucom, Jeff Blasi, Ronnie Hood driving for Mike Johnson, Steve Vick, Jeff Dobbins, Rod Houck, Kevin Rivenbark, Rocky Raynor, Lorenzo Springfield, Edward Wilson, Tommy Mauney, George Williams, Steve Cossis, Travis Harvey, Steve Drummond, Kevin Mayer, Randy Weatherford, Todd Howard, Dewayne Silance, Andy Beal, Chris Rini, and Todd Tutterow. George Williams would win the Hairy Glass Best Appearing Car award.

The first pair up for the first round of eliminations would be Dewayne Silance vs Todd Howard in the JW Motorsports Mustang. Silance would go .000 at the tree to a 3.95 over Howards .053 bulb to a 4.10. Second pair out would be the blown 63 Vette vs Randy Weatherford in his Nitrous powered Camaro. Beal would go .043 at the tree running a 3.96 to take the win over Weatherfords's .096 bulb to a shaking 7.75. Kevin Mayer in the blown Willys would come to the line against Chris Rini next. Rini would go .000 at the tree running a 3.919 to take the win over Mayers .154 bulb running a 4.20. The last pair out would be the number one qualifier Todd Tutterow in his blown Camaro against the only north team to qualify, Steve Drummond in his turbo powered Mustang. Tutterow would take the win with a .077 light running a 4.00 to Drummond's .013 bulb while running a 4.08.

In the semifinal Todd Tutterow would take the win over Dewayne Silance as Chris Rini would run another 3.91 to take out Andy Beal.

In the final Chris Rini and the ATI Team would run another 3.91 with the Charlie Buck horsepower but it wouldn't be a match for King Tuts 3.82 blast.

As we come up on the Thanksgiving holiday the EOPM staff have very much to be thankful for. We thank the good Lord for all he blesses us with each day, and bringing all the racers home safely after all the events.

"Due to the ever-increasing technology of these cars, and the cost to build them, we have mandated minimum weights for all the engine combinations," said EOPM co-founder Stuart Williams. "With the racers, fans, sponsors, and venues in mind the EOPM is committed to maintaining parity, and the quality of our show. We will continue to closely monitor the performance of the cars and if necessary, adjust any rules to provide as even of a playing field as possible," finished Williams.

We would also like to take the time to welcome Cliff Scott, owner of Extreme Motorsports, as the new official tech representative of the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods. Cliff who was recently at the 2nd Annual EOPM Nationals with his racers support trailer will be on hand at all EOPM events in 2012 to help the EOPM staff as we enter a new chapter of teching cars.

Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals set for October 14th and 15th at Dunn-Benson Dragstrip!!
(9-8-2011) BENSON, NC – The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods will hold its second annual EOPM Nationals at the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip on October 14th and 15th.

On October 14th there will be two rounds of Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod qualifying with two more qualifying Saturday October 15th for the EOPM "Best of the Best Quick 8". To be eligible for this years Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals you only need to compete in one EOPM event to earn an invite.

The payout will be as follows: $6000 to the winner, $1500 runner up, $1250 to semi finalist, and $1000 to qualify. There will still be a Last Man Standing Top Dawg Shootout for the cars qualified 9-12 with $1000 to the winner, $500 to runner up, and $300 for first round loser.

"We can't thank Roger and Brian Williams enough for firmly supporting the EOPM in setting a new standard in heads up doorslammer racing. Now we want all racers to know that Dunn-Benson has left it up to us if we break the money down for a quick 16 field if we have a large car count as we expect," said Stuart Williams of the EOPM. "Therefore if there are over 30 teams, we will have a drivers meeting before qualifying on Saturday to vote on what the guys want to do," Williams finished. K&S productions will post an EOPM Nationals invitation list after next weekend's race at Dunn-Benson although teams will have one more opportunity to become eligible at Farmington Dragway on September 24th.

"There are over 70 teams to put on the invite list. Man I'm glad I don't have that typing job." said Shawn Kelly.

Last season the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals required three events to be eligible to show appreciation to the teams who made this club a huge success in its first year. It is the staff of the EOPM's hope that this event will grow into something that is comparible to old school Pro Mod racing where the fans know the pits will be swamped with Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Teams all coming together to put on a huge show to support the class they love.

"We can't be the next ADRL as we have no intention on splitting classes because we love Pro Mod, but we would like to develop something that has that old Dragstock feel to it with a lot of doorslammers at an outlaw track without a clue of who will make the field," said Shawn Kelly of EOPM.

K&S Productions will be covering the Nationals with their very best effort to give these competitors the exposure they deserve while giving the fans who can't make it terrific coverage.

This promises to be the best heads up doorslammer show on the East Coast with Dunn-Benson's new objective of becoming an all heads-up action facility. Heads-up doorslammer fans will see the hottest club in the nation the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods, also Extreme Outlaw 275 Drag Radial, and possibly Extreme Renegade along with Extreme heads-up index classes. The EOPM wants you all. Quick 8 Outlaws come on out, Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association come on out of hiding and represent your club with the best of the best, and Dixie Pro-Modified Association come be a part of history. Thanks to all our competitors and sponsors for their support.

(7-18-2011) BENSON, NC – On Saturday July 16th there was no other place to be than the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Clash of the Titans event at the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip.

Being one of the many heads-up doorslammer fanatic fans, I am still amazed at the support, and strength that the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods showed at Dunn-Benson by shattering the car count record at that track again with twenty eight Pro Mods attempting to qualify.

On top of that the EOPM once again brang new teams to the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip with ten new Pro Mods appearing with several members of the worlds fastest Powerglide Pro Mod club, the Quick 8 Outlaws, among them. They would be Rod Houck, Troy Jordan, James Linton, Tracy Cockman, Frank Cersosimo, Jason Harris, Travis Harvey, Ric Fleck, Danny Blankenship, and Larry Smithey's first event with the EOPM at Dunn Benson.

Chris Rini and the ATI team, Andy Jensen, and Marc Hayes made the journey to represent the EOPM North.

Before the first round of qualifying Dave Leonardo in his Blown 2003 Chevy S-10 was awarded the Hairy Glass/No Limit Best Appearing Car Award. Leonardo who has been a strong supporter of the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod since last season debuted his For The Troops American Flag wrap theme a few months ago and is a fan favorite with the Chuck DeMory power.

In the first of three rounds of qualifying the north were on top of the sheets with Andy Jensen being number one with a 3.93. Chris Rini would run a 3.96 for the second spot with the current EOPM points leader Charles Terrell running a 4.014 which would be good enough for the third spot.

The Pirate gang with Kevin Mayer would go 4.060 which would place them on the bump spot in the eighth spot for the EOPM Best of the Best Quick 8. Brian Teachman, Troy Jordan, James Linton, and Marc Hayes would be in the 9-12 spots for the first ever Last Man Standing Top Dawg Shootout.

In the third and final qualifying session of the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods Clash of the Titans event things would change drastically. The EOPM newcomer Danny Blankenship in his Blown '40 Ford would capture the EOPM Speedtech Low Qualifier Award with a 3.91. The small block Turbo powered '68 Camaro of Andy Jensen would hold the number two spot with his 3.936.

The points leader Charles Terrell would add to his lead by qualifying in the final eighth spot with his Blown Mustang running a 4.014.

First up for the first round of the "Best of the Best EOPM Quick 8" would be Chris Rini taking on Rick Fleck. Fleck would leave the tree first with a .025 bulb to Rini's .035 bulb but Rini would blast to a 3.94 as Fleck would go into severe tire shake. The EOPM champ Dewayne Silance would take on Randy Weatherford. Silance would take a big starting line advantage with a .047 bulb to Weatherfords .191 bulb and go on to take the win with the Buck powering to a 3.955. Next up would be Andy Jensen against Tommy Mauney. Jensen would run a 3.960 with a .060 light for the win over Mauney as he shook the tires with a .110 light.

Godwin and EOPM Electrify The Farm!!
(6-27-2011) MOCKSVILLE, NC – This past Saturday, June 25th, Farmington Dragway was the place to be for any diehard heads-up doorslammer fan, as it was the first time ever that the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods competed at "the Farm".

The arrival of the hottest doorslammer club in the nation to Don Plemmons' Farmington Dragway once again showed the support that the EOPM gains from racers up and down the East Coast, as it continues striving to set a new standard in outlaw doorslammer racing. The Farmington fans thirsty for heads-up doorslammer action were in for a treat as they got to witness the return of many teams who had not been to the Farm in a while.

In the staging lanes for the three qualifying sessions attempting to break into the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod "Best of the Best Quick 8" were Tori Cagle, Wayne Chambers, Randy Weatherford, Todd Howard (JW Motorsports), club sposor Andy Beal, Danny Perry (Boone Racing), club sponsor Tommy Mauney, Greg Godwin, Todd Tutterow, Sonny Tindal, Dwayne Wolfe, Doug Winters, Buzz Varner, Rod Houck, Jamie Chappel, Billy Gordon, Bobby Baucom, and Andy Jensen being the only team to represent the EOPM North. This would be the return of Bobby Baucom and Buzz Varner to the EOPM along with Jamie Chappel's, Rod Houck's, and Billy Gordon's first event.

After three stellar rounds of Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod qualifying the field for the EOPM Best of the Best Quick 8 was set. The man known around the world as King Tut, Todd Tutterow, would take the Speedtech low qualifier honors and new club ET record with a blistering 3.897 at 194 mph in his blown '68 Camaro. The team of Godwin & Boozer would take the number two spot with a 3.965 at 186 in their nitrous powered '63 TM 'Vette. A 3.973 at 188 would put Bobby Baucom in the number three spot in his blown '68 Camaro. Andy Beal would finish qualifying in the number four spot with a 3.994 at 188 in his blown '63 'Vette. The EOPM North star Andy Jensen would run a 3.996 at 184 to take the number five position in his small block turbo powered '68 Camaro. Legendary chassis builder and Pro Mod racer, Tommy Mauney, would run a 4.029 at 196.38 for the number six spot, and a new club speed record. Todd Howard and the JW Motorsports team would place their nitrous powered Ford Mustang in the seventh spot with a 4.030 at 187 mph to be the only blue oval team to qualify for the "Best of the Best Quick 8". In the final eighth spot would be Danny Perry in the nitrous powered ZR-1 Corvette with a 4.058 at 181 to complete the field which held the largest Pro Mod car count at "the Farm" in over five years.

Before the first round of eliminations Brad Boone, car owner of the awesome Black nitrous powered ZR-1 Corvette, driven by Danny Perry, would be awarded the Hairy Glass Best Appearing Car Award.

With three blower cars, one turbo, and four nitrous car set to battle the fans were ready for a war as they had already seen five different teams run in the 3 second zone. In the first round of EOPM eliminations Todd Tutterow would take the win over Danny Perry, Bobby Baucom over Tommy Mauney, Greg Godwin over Todd Howard, and Andy Beal over Andy Jensen.

In the semi-finals Greg Godwin in his nitrous powered '63 Tommy Mauney 'Vette would face Bobby Baucom in his blown '68 Camaro. Baucom would have a starting line advantage with a .040 to Godwin's .054 but Godwin would run a 3.900 at 188 to take the win over Baucom's 3.957 at 190. Greg would also have a .940 60' time to Bobby's .999 60'. In the second pair the Farmington fans would see Todd Tutterow in his blown '68 Camaro face Andy Beal in his blown '63 'Vette. Beal would leave the tree first with a .011 bulb to Tutterow's .061, but Tutterow would run a 3.890 at 194 to muscle out the win over Beal's 4.05 at 157 while breaking a pulley. Todd would have a .941 60' to Andy's .971 60'.

The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod final would be set with number one qualifier Todd Tutterow facing the number two qualifier Greg Godwin. Without a final round run sheet I can only say that Greg Godwin in his nitrous powered 'Vette would take the win. The unofficial numbers tell me that Todd ran a 3.85 to Greg's 3.87. I do want to quote a fan/crew member who was at the show that wrote on a message forum that it was a good show at the Farm, the fans definitely got their money's worth.

We have to thank our sponsors who support us in setting a new standard in outlaw doorslammer racing.

(6-21-2011) BENSON, NC – On June 18th, the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods brung "the Show" back to the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip with the ongoing war between Nitrous and Blowers once again being the center of attention.

In the staging lanes trying to break into the EOPM "Best of the Best Quick 8" would be Andy Beal, Brian Williams, Kevin Mayer, Bill De'Soto, and Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod points leader Charles Terrell all representing the supercharged entries, along with Sambo Price, Danny Perry, Todd Howard, Tori Cagle, Wayne Chambers, Dwayne White, Tommy Mauney, Steve Vick, Charles Carpenter, Larry Pearce, Raymond McNeil, Bonnie Gore, and ADRL star Randy Weatherford representing the nitrous entries.

After three qualifying rounds in the heat, Randy Weatherford would capture the Speedtech Low Qualifier spot with a 4.001, in his awesome nitrous powered '69 Camaro which had earlier won the Hairy Glass Best Appearing Car award. The number two spot would go to Tommy Mauney with a 4.019 in his Nitrous powered '68 Camaro. Andy Beal would run a 4.020 in his Blown '63 Vette to qualify third. Running a 4.049 would place the Blown Willys of Kevin Mayer in fourth. Todd Howard representing the blue oval in his Nitrous powered Mustang would run a 4.057 to capture the fifth spot. Big Dogg winner Brian Williams would run a 4.091 in his Blown Corvette to take the sixth spot. Charles Carpenter would run a 4.104 to place his legendary Nitrous powered '55 Cheverolet in the seventh spot. Coming into the race only 5 points behind the points leader, Steve Vick would break into the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod "Best of the Best Quick 8" field with a 4.140 in his Nitrous powered '68 Camaro.

Before the first round of eliminations was called the skies opened up with a bad wind storm, which also dropped a lot of rain which put an end to our day. By qualifying for the field Steve Vick would get closer to the number one spot due to Charles Terrell failing to qualify for the first time this season. "This don't feel good at all. We made some changes that didn't work out for us today. The good thing is we don't have long to wait to redeem ourselves with the EOPM going to Farmington this weekend. We have to stay ahead of all these nos boys who aint making it easy," said Charles Terrell.

This race also represented the start of the new Last Man Standing Top Dawg Shootout for the EOPM teams who qualify 9 through 12. Coming all the way from Georgia, Tori Cagle would qualify at number nine with a 4.145 just missing the bump. Wayne Chambers would run a 4.239 to take the number ten spot. Running a 4.272 would qualify Dwayne White at eleventh. Doug Winters would run a 4.42 which would be good enough for number twelve in his first outing of the year. "I like what the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods have added with the Top Dawg Shootout for the 9-12 qualifiers. It gives those guys a chance to have some fun and its definitely why I came to my first EOPM event of the year" said Wayne Chambers.

We would like to thank Speedtech, Hairy Glass, Santhuff's, Beal Racing Engines, Virginia Speed Race Cars, Rogers Automotive, Hank Thomas Performance, Lake Anna Motorsports, Buck Racing Engines, Williams Concrete, Tommy Mauney Race Cars, and Custom T's of DC for their continued support.
 

Vick brings EOPM MIR Trophy South!!
(5-30-2011) MECHANICSVILLE, MD – On Sunday, May 29th the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods teamed up with sponsor Larry Thompson of Custom T's of DC to bring Maryland International Raceway one of the best heads-up doorslammer shows that the track has ever seen.

Flying the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod banner high and proud at Budds Creek were JW Motorsports own Todd Howard, Andy Jensen, Charles Terrell, Ed "Big Shot" Burnley, Danny Perry, Marc "the Truth" Hayes, Steve Vick, Jason Harris, Chris Rini, Dewayne Wolfe, Steve Cossis, Bill Meadows, John Bartunek, Tommy Howes, Kevin Fortney, Tim Essick, Mike Johnson, and Jimmy Osbourne. We thank each and every one of these racers for their participation, and effort which turned into an amazing show in the Northeastern area. We definitely have to give Royce Miller, and the Maryland International Raceway staff a huge thanks for a great racing surface all day through a lot of work.

The JW Motorsports team, who traveled from North Carolina had this to say, "This track reminds me of Rockingham. It don't matter what the weather does, it's gonna be good and have teeth. We have been hearing about Budds Creek for many years and are glad we finally had a reason to come here with the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods for a really good show," said the team.

Also we have to thank Larry Thompson's staff for having the faith in the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods to bring us in to be a part of his Doorslammer Nationals.

After three exciting rounds of Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod qualifying for the Best of the Best Quick 8 the order went like this: Dewayne Wolfe would run a 4.043 to find himself in the show at the eighth spot in his blown 2001 Firebird. Running a 4.019 in his small block turbo powered '68 Camaro, Andy Jensen would qualify seventh. Ed "Big Shot" Burnley would qualify sixth with a 4.007 in his nitrous powered '67 Camaro. The number five qualifier would be Charles Terrell in his blown Mustang running a 3.982. Todd Howard's nitrous powered 2008 Mustang would run a 3.980 to take the number four spot. Jason Harris would take the third spot with a 3.957 in his nitrous powered '68 Firebird. The number two spot would go to Steve Vick in his nitrous powered '68 Camaro after running a 3.952. Chris Rini would run a 3.951 in his Charlie Buck powered '69 Camaro to capture the Speedtech Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod #1 qualifying award. Chris and his crew chief Scott C. had actually drove from Mooresville, NC Saturday night to compete at Budds Creek.

With an extremely tight field in qualifying the heads-up doorslammer fans of Maryland expected eliminations to be awesome with four North teams and four South teams going to war. Choosing to hit the track first would be the latest Speedtech low qualifier, Chris Rini going against Dewayne Wolfe. Rini would have a good advantage at the tree with a .062 light and running a 3.950 to take the win over Dewayne's .128 light running a 4.06. Next out would be Todd Howard against the current EOPM points leader Charles Terrell. Todd would take the holeshot win with a .075 light and running a 4.019 to Charles .093 light while running a 4.013. The number three and six qualifiers Jason Harris and Ed Burnley would be out next. Ed would take the win with a .082 light running a 4.012 over Jason's .106 light running a 4.001. Last out for the first round of Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod eliminations would be Steve Vick and Andy Jensen. Steve would take the win with a .158 light and running a 3.996 over Andy's .088 light running a 5.24.

In the semi-finals it would be Chris Rini taking on Todd Howard and Steve Vick taking on Ed Burnley. Two North teams left along with two south teams, all nitrous going head to head. Chris Rini would get the win with a 3.97 over Todd Howard's 4.21 putting a EOPM North team in the final. Steve Vick would take the win with a 3.961 over Ed Burnley's 4.01 putting a EOPM South team in the final.

In the final it would be Chris Rini leaving the tree first with a .055 light to Steve Vick's .137, but Vick would pick up his first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod win with a blistering 3.93 blast to Rini's 4.19. Steve Vick faced a tough Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod North team in each round of eliminations which earned him the new nickname North Killer, but places a huge target on his back for the next event at Dunn Benson June 18th. In the tower after qualifying I asked Mr. Royce Miller if he had he ever seen Pro Mod racing that close. His reply was simple with a smile. "That's the way it's supposed to be."

Pirate Ship wins EOPM at Dunn-Benson!!
(5-22-2011) BENSON, NC – The place to be Saturday May 21st was the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip as the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods once again brung the EOPM Showdown. The awesome heads up doorslammer fans of Dunn-Benson who came out in the heat received a treat as twenty Pro Mods attempted to qualify for the EOPM Best of the Best Quick 8 show.

As we (the EOPM staff) gazed in the staging lanes for qualifying we were ecstatic to see several drag racing legends adding to the amazing field of teams.

Competing in his first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod event was Southern Pro Mod Legend Sonny Tindal. Longtime IHRA Mountain Motor competitors Mr. and Mrs. Harold Robinson were also returning to the racing world for their first EOPM event. Former NHRA Pro Stock competitor Joe Lepone Jr. was handling the driving duties for Jim Teachman in his new Virginia Speed Race Cars 70.5 Camaro. Could you imagine trying to add up all the different tracks the three of these longtime heads up doorslammer racers have competed on, or how many passes they have made? The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods would like to take the time to thank them and all other legendary heads up doorslammer competitors for being pioneers in this class that we love.

The tough field that these racers were part of consisted of the 2010 Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Champion Dewayne Silance, the She Devil Carol Long, Lorenzo Stringfield, Brian Williams, Mack Copeland with the EOPM's fastest pro-charged car, Steve Vick, Danny Perry fresh in black paint, Dave Leonardo, Todd Tutterow, Kevin Mayer, Todd Howard, Charles Terrell who is the current points leader, Kevin Rivenbark, Wayne Hawkins, Bonnie Gore, EOPM sponsor Andy Beal, and Ed Burnley who was the only competitor representing the north.

"The showdown is great, but in order to get this North vs. South Showdown really heated up, we will be focusing on bringing all the EOPM North teams who support us to one of the next shows at Dunn-Benson to give the fans and the club itself one of the rivalries that helps it be successful. We need those guys," said joint director Stuart Williams. With several EOPM South teams planning to invade the North this weekend, as the Extreme Outlaw Pro Modifieds head to Maryland International Raceway things should get interesting.

After three spectacular rounds of Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod qualifying the field would be set for the Best of the Best EOPM Quick 8. EOPM Champion Dewayne Silance would flex the muscle in his Charlie Buck powered '68 Camaro to take the Speedtech #1 EOPM qualifier spot with a 3.96. The current Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod points leader, Charles Terrell would run a 3.99 in his supercharged Mustang to take the number two spot. The JW Motorsports nitrous powered Mustang driven by Todd Howard would take the third spot with a 4.001. Kevin Mayer in the dreaded Pirate Ship supercharged Willys would qualify fourth with a 4.011. Danny Perry in his nitrous powered ZR-1 'Vette would qualify fifth with a 4.014. Ed Burnley in his nitrous powered '67 Camaro would take the sixth spot with a 4.017. Steve Vick would take the seventh spot with a 4.02 in his nitrous powered '68 Camaro. Andy Beal would capture the final eighth spot with a 4.022 in his supercharged '63 'Vette to make the Best of the Best EOPM Quick 8 Show.

We have had some fast, awesome shows but I do think this was the tightest field ever. "All these teams put on an outstanding show for the Dunn-Benson fans in qualifying. They are what makes the EOPM the place to be," said Stuart.

Before the first round of EOPM eliminations started it was announced that the 70.5 Camaro of Jim Teachman had won the Hairy Glass Best Appearing Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod award. The 70.5 which is gold with black stripes is a very sleek ride built by Mike Graham of Virginia Speed Race Cars.

As the first round of eliminations started the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Champion, Dewayne Silance was the fan favorite to win, as the champ had made consistent 3 second passes in every qualifying session. The first pair out to start eliminations would be number four qualifier in the supercharged Willys Kevin Mayer taking on number five qualifier Danny Perry in his nitrous powered ZR-1 Corvette. Mayer would take the win with a .111 rt, 3.99, at 177 mph over Perry's .132 rt, 4.83, at 101 mph. Next up would be one of those Ford Mustang versus Chevy Camaro classic matchups that helped make drag racing what it is today. The number three qualifier Todd Howard in his nitrous powered Mustang taking on the number six qualifier Ed Burnley in his nitrous powered 67 Camaro. Howard would lose with a .150 rt, 5.20, at 96 mph to Bunley's .119rt, 4.04, at 185mph. The third pair out would be number two qualifier Charles Terrell in his self motivated supercharged Mustang, against number seven qualifier Steve Vick in his nitrous fed Camaro. Terrell would pick up another win to add to his points lead with a .154 rt, 4.02, at 181 over Vick's .176 rt, 4.02, at 187. Last pair out would be the number one qualifier Dewayne Silance in his Charlie Buck powered '68 Camaro taking on Andy Beal in his Beal Racing Engines supercharged '63 'Vette. Silance would cruise to victory with a .065'rt, 3.95, at 185 over Beal's -.166 'rt, 5.18, 144mph.

In the semi-finals Ed Burnley would take a bye run win as Charles Terrell could not take the tree. The Maryland native Burnley would run a 4.01 at 185 mph on his solo pass. Kevin Mayer would take the win light over Dewayne Silance with a 4.05 at 172 over Silance's 4.25 at 133. Kevin Mayer in the famous Pirate Ship would go on to take a solo pass for the event win, as Ed Burnley would be unable to make the call for the final round.

"This was one of the toughest fields I have ever seen, and it was an accomplishment for us to qualify, but to go on and pick up the win at Dunn-Benson is a blessing. We have had our share of bad luck last season so it's good to have some good luck on your side on race day. I have to thank my family and my team for all they do" said Kevin Mayer.

Thanks to Dunn-Benson Dragstrip, all the racers who support the EOPM, our sponsors Speedtech, Hank Thomas Performance, Tom Tillman Race Cars, Beal Racing Engines, Hairy Glass, Lake Anna Motorsports, Buck Racing Engines, Virginia Speed Race Cars, Santhuff''s, Roger's Automotive, Custom T's of DC, Williams Concrete, K&S Productions, and Drag Illustrated.

Jordan Brings Heat to EOPM!!

(04-11-11) JACKSONVILLE, NC - On April 9th the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods once again brung "the Show" to Coastal Plains Dragway with a new twist as some Quick 8 Outlaw joined the fun on another record setting day. The heads up doorslammer fans of Coastal Plains were thrilled to see twenty-three Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod teams on the grounds waiting to battle it out in qualifying for a spot in the "Best of the Best" 8 car field. Prior to Saturday morning came some unwelcomed rain, with more clouds and cool temps following Saturday morning at CPD. The EOPM and Coastal Plains Dragway called a drivers meeting to discuss postponing the event. The competitors, CPD, and the EOPM decided to have only 2 rounds of qualifying instead of 3, and start qualifying a little later hoping the temperature would rise as forecasted.

The result would be the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod et record being broken three times along with the EOPM's fastest bump spot record being shattered, to go with the largest promod count ever at CPD. "It was crazy because qualifying started, and about half way through the sun came out, and quickly changed everything for these guys trying to qualify" said Shawn Kelly of K&S Productions. There were many teams who spent Friday testing, but with the rain then the sunshine heating things up fast, it threw most of the quality data out the window. After round 1 of qualifying it would be Quick 8 Outlaws superstar Troy Jordan in the dominating, blown 68 Supercharged, BladeRunner Camaro, who would be on top of the sheet with a new Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod et record with a 3.927. The bump spot record would be shattered in the first round with fellow Quick 8 Outlaws member/Q8 Champion, Robbie Matthews, sitting on it with a 4.067. A 4.11 was the previous fastest bump.

The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod pits were filled with electricity knowing this was already the fastest EOPM field ever after only one round of qualifying, with only one shot left to make the "Best of the Best" 8 car field. After the second round of qualifying new EOPM star Steve Vick competing for the second time with the EOPM would reset the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod et record with a 3.922 to become the first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod number 1 qualifier for the new year receiving the Speedtech number 1 qualifier certificate. Earlier James Linton in his awesome Supercharged Duster received the EOPM/ Hairy Glass best appearing car award. This is how the cards fell after 2 exciting rounds of qualifying. The "Best of the Best" 8 car field would be, number one Steve Vick with a 3.922 in his NOS powered 68 Camaro, number two Troy Jordan in the blown 68 Camaro with a 3.927, number three Greg Godwin in his NOS powered 63 Vette with 3.941, number four Ed Burnley with a 3.956 in his NOS powered 68 Camaro, number five Charles Terrell in his Blown Mustang with a 3.96, number six Dewayne Silance in his Buck powered 68 Camaro wit 3.975, number seven Kevin Mayer with a 4.022 in his blown 41 Willy's, and number eight Steve Bray in his blown Mustang on the bump with a 4.036. The EOPM would like to thank and recognize all the following for their qualifying efforts. At number nine with a 4.05 Sambo Price of the Q8 Outlaws, number ten Brian Williams with a 4.058, number eleven Coby Rabon with a 4.06, number twelve Robbie Matthews with a 4.067, number thirteen Lorenzo Stringfield n/a, number fourteen Dewayne White with a 4.12, number fifteen James Linton 4.193, number sixteen Chris Rini with a 4.23, number seventeen Kevin Rivenbark with a 4.30, number eighteen Andy Jensen with a 4.91, number nineteen Bonnie Gore with a shook, number twenty Marc Hayes with nt, number twenty-one Ernie Everett with nt, and number twenty-two Carol "She Devil" Long with nt. Raymond McNeil who tested Friday was unable to make either call for qualifying. Thank you all as you are "the Show".


As it was time for eliminations after two awesome rounds of qualifying the true pro mod fans of Coastal Plains knew they were in for an exciting evening with the EOPM in the house. First up would be number four qualifier Ed Burnley against Charles Terrell who qualified number five. Burnley the only EOPM North team to qualify would have a line lock malfunction result in a very short burnout, bet forever being a true sportsman chose redo his burnout. When the tree dropped Burnley would leave first with a .019 bulb to Terrell's .046. Charles Terrell would pick up the victory with a 4.01 pass over Ed Burnley's 4.06 despite driving through severe tire shake. The second pair out would be number three qualifier Greg Godwin to face the 2010 EOPM Champion, Dewayne Silance who qualified number six. Godwin who was all over the track would pick up the win with a 4.62 as Silance broke after the burnout. The third pair out would be Troy Jordan who qualified number two against number seven qualifier Kevin Mayer. Jordan would leave the tree first with a .039 bulb, to Mayers .044, then go on to take the win with a 3.92 over Mayer's 3.95. The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods congratulate Kevin Mayer and the Pirate Ship crew on their first 3. second pass. The last pair out for round one would be the number one qualifier Steve Vick and number eight qualifier Steve Bray. Vick would have an advantage as the tree dropped with a .009 bulb against Bray's .019, but Vick would have problems and abort the run as Bray ran another 4.03. In round two we would see a "new Show" begin as it would be Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods against Quick 8 Outlaws in the semi's. First up would be Charles "the working Man" Terrell of the EOPM against Steve Bray of the Quick 8 Outlaws in a battle of two beautiful Blown Mustangs. At the tree Terrell would have an advantage with a .036 bulb to Bray's .054, but it would be all Steve Bray with a 4.06 pass as Terrell's car lost fire. The second pair out would be Troy Jordan of the Quick 8 Outlaws versus Greg Godwin who was competing with the EOPM for the first time. Jordan would have a big advantage at the tree with a .045 bulb to Godwin's .178. Jordan would take the win as he strolled to another Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod et record with a 3.91 as Godwin aborted the pass after severe tire shake. Jordan would come back around for a solo pass for the final as Steve Bray could not make the call. Troy Jordan and the Bladerunner Team would attempt to take the EOPM record into the 3.80's but shook and then coasted to a Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod trophy.

This was an extraordinary start to the EOPM year with a lot of good teams coming together to bring a great Outlaw show to Ronnie Humphrey's Coastal Plains Dragway who believe in setting a new standard in Outlaw Pro Mod racing. We were glad to see the Quick 8 Outlaws come out, and compete with the EOPM and we congratulate them on picking up the win at Coastal Plains which is home to the Quick 8 Outlaws World Finals.

Its unofficial but after the event K&S Productions were checking out the points standings and it seemed that Charles Terrell who has made plans to be a EOPM Championship contender is now number 1 in the points. We walked over to inform Terrell's Racing Team. "Yeah we just finished checking on that ourselves, so hopefully we can extend the lead a little bit at Dunn Benson with a few of the regular heavy hitters going to the big money race the same day. That's going to make that a very interesting field" said Charles Terrell.

Once again thanks go out to Ronnie Humphrey's and the Coastal Plains Dragway staff, our sponsors Speedtech, Buck Racing Engines, Hairy Glass, Rogers Automotive, Santhuffs, Lake Anna Motorsports, Tom Tillman Race Cars, K&S Productions, Custom T's of DC, Beal Racing Engines, Virginia Speed Race Cars, Williams Concrete, and Hank Thomas Performance.

(Revised 2/9/2011)


Mauney blazes Coastal Plains!!
(11-21-2010) JACKSONVILLE, NC – On November 20th the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods brought "the Show" to Coastal Plains Dragway to end one year, and begin a new season at the same time. "This was truly an amazing blessing with very good weather, and many great teams supporting the EOPM. We can't say enough about how thankful we are to each team for making this event an outstanding success for the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods as well as Coastal Plains Dragway," said joint director Stuart Williams.

When it was time for the all out war to begin with qualifying, there were nineteen Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods ready to electrify the fans with side by side, heads up doorslammer action.

On the grounds at CPD were the EOPM 2010 Champion Dewayne Silance, RB Smith who finished second in 2010, Bill De'Soto, Josh Chester, Steve Cossis, Ed Burnley, Brian Williams, Ernie Everett, Kevin Rivenbark, Kevin Mayer, Charles Terrell, Coby Rabon, Dave Leonardo, Jeff Mullins, Lorenzo Springfield, Tommy Mauney, Steve Vick, Raymond McNeil, and Zeb Artist. "You gotta take your hat off to Steve Vick, Jeff Mullins, and Charles Terrell as these guys had never ran with the EOPM before, but told us they were coming, and showed up. Coby Rabon was definitely a welcomed surprise as we had no clue he was coming," said Stuart.

After two crowd pleasing rounds of qualifying the top eight teams would be number one Tommy Mauney with a back to back 3.93 shots, number two would be Charles Terrell with a 3.95, number three would be Dewayne Silance with a 3.97, number four would be Brian Williams with a 4.06, number five would be Lorenzo Springfield with a 4.067, number six would be Coby Rabon with a 4.069, number seven would be RB Smith with a 4.10, with Kevin Mayer taking the final eighth spot with a 4.12. The fans could hardly wait to get eliminations started, knowing they would see four nitrous cars, three blower cars, and a turbo car go to war in true pro mod racing action.

The first pair out for the first round of eliminations would be Brian Williams in his blown 2001 Corvette going against Lorenzo Springfield in his Nitrous powered GTO. Springfield would go into immediate tire shake as Williams posted a 4.08 on the board. Dewayne Silance would get a bye into the semi's as Coby Rabon's crew chief would cut him off immediately after hearing a problem. Silance would run a pedaling 4.03. Number two qualifier Charles Terrell would be up next in his Supercharged Mustang taking on RB Smith. As the tree dropped Smith would hand Terrell the win turning on the red. Terrell would run a 4.22 to Smith's 4.13. That would bring up the number one qualifier Tommy Mauney in his Nitrous powered TM Camaro to take on Kevin Mayer in his Blown TM Willys. When the tree dropped Kevin would take a good advantage, but Tommy would run his third 3.93 pass to take the win light. It was clear that Mr. Tommy Mauney would be the man to beat.

In the semi-finals we would see Dewayne Silance in his Buck Racing Engines powered Camaro taking on the newcomer Charles Terrell in his Blown Mustang. Silance would pick up the win with a 3.96 to Terrell's 4.11. Tommy Mauney in the awesome TM Race Cars Camaro would face off with Brian Williams in the bad to the bone blown Vette. Williams would leave the tree first with a .037 bulb to Mauney's .090 bulb, but another 3.93 would advance Mauney to the final. The final round would have been an awesome race to witness, but unfortunately would not take place due to Dewayne Silance not being able to make the call. Always the professional, Tommy Mauney would still make the final pass of the night posting a 4.04 for the fans. "I want to thank my crew and Fulton Racing Engines for the powere. This was alot of fun for our team, and it was great to pick up the win. We plan to support the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods whenever we can next season" said Mauney.

There is no doubt that the EOPM will be the place to be in 2011 as this race made things interesting already with Mauney taking an early lead in the points. It could be veery difficult for the champ to repeat in 2011 with Cossis, Burnley, Terrell, Vick, and Rabon all planning to bring the war to Dunn Benson this season.

I have to thank Mr. Ronnie Humphrey for believing what this club can do, and giving us a good purse for the racers," said Stuart Williams.

Mr. Humphrey who competes in NHRA Pro Stock competition has actually been a supporter of the EOPM from its start. "Stuart, and I talk all the time, and he was my guest at Maple Grove for the NHRA. I was supposed to have one of the first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod races, but we both just go too busy to really work out the details in time. I'm thrilled to still be able to have them at my facility in their first year at our most anticipated event," said Mr. Humphrey.

All across North Carolina the people know when November comes it is time for Coastal Plains Dragway's Mountain Motor Shootout. With the EOPM teaming up with Coastal Plains for this event now the race automatically gains the ongoing War between EOPM North and South. The EOPM's main goal is to put on the very best show for the fans possible, but we are on a mission to bring the largest car count of Pro Mods that CPD has ever seen. It will be an awesome way to finish the year if we can break the car count record this time of the year, but many of our regular guys are finished for the year.

That being said the fans can expect to see Wild Bill De'Soto, Flyin Brian Williams, Derrick Townes, EOPM Champ Dewayne Silance, Ernie Everett, Buzz Varner, Steve Cossis, Troy Henderson, Kevin Mayer, Charles Terrell, RB Smith, Rocky Raynor, Dave Leonardo, Raymond McNeil, Kevin Rivenbark, Lorenzo Springfield, Rick Moore, Danny Perry, Josh Chester and a few surprises.

Everything's different now with the EOPM. We have our first champion with Dewayne Silance, so he is basically a marked man every time out as all competitors want a piece of the champ. This race being in the mans backyard in November, may show who plans to stop Silance from repeating.

As usual there will be no entry fee or club membership fees. We just want those able to come out and help put on "the Show" the fans deserve at Coastal Plains Dragway November 20th for the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods Final Conflict of 2010.

Silance and Buck Racing add EOPM Nationals win to EOPM Championship!!

(10-17-2010) BENSON, NC – The dates were October 15, and 16th. The place was the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip. The heads up doorslammer club on hand was the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods. The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods held their first annual EOPM Nationals this past weekend. The event was aimed at showing appreciation to the EOPM teams who have supported this new club by competing in three or more events which helped the club find great success in its first year of existance.

"This was our Nationals, and we could have easily cut it back to one, or two races for eligibility to have more cars, but that would not have been right when these guys with three or more races, are in fact the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods. They have made this thing take off the way it has by competing all year, and deserved the great purse put up by Dunn-Benson, for this first EOPM Nationals. Now every season after we will be looking to make it bigger and better," said joint director Stuart Williams.

Qualifying:

Things kicked off Friday night for the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals and it appeared that "Flyin" Brian Williams would be the man to beat being the only car to make a full pass that night in the cold, taking the number one qualifying spot with a 4.10.

"The entire lane oildown that happened minutes before our scheduled first round of qualifying just ruined our Friday sessions, as it pushed us back too far without enough cars to keep heat in the track," said Marc Hayes.

In another bad turn of events during the first round of qualifying Andy Beal of club sponsor Beal Racing Engines would have catastrophic engine failure and would not be able to continue. Danny Perry of Boone Racing would have a parts failure, and would also be unable to continue.

As the weekend went on, and it was time for the fourth, and final qualifying session Saturday, many key teams would find themselves on the outside looking in with one shot left. In the lanes for the final shot would be Kevin Mayer, Bill De'Soto, Dave Leonardo, Marc Hayes, Dwayne White, Brian Williams, Jim Teachman, Ronnie Gardner, Kevin Rivenbark, Ricky Walton, RB Smith, Edward Wilson, Mack Copeland, and Dewayne Silance.

When qualifying was over the best of the best would once again rise to the top with Dewayne Silance, in his Charlie Buck powered '68 Camaro, posting a 3.99 to take the number one spot. Dunn-Benson's own Edward Wilson, who recently qualified for an ADRL event, would go 4.00 in his Fulton powered '41 Willys to capture the number two spot. Ronnie Gardner would take the number three spot with a 4.03 in his P.A.R powered '67 Camaro known as Superman. Brian Williams who consistantly went straight down the track would round out the top four with a 4.06 in his blown Corvette. Mack Copeland in the Buck ProCharged Monte Carlo would run an awesome 4.10 to land in the number five spot on the sheets. EOPM North captain Marc Hayes would qualify sixth in his Fulton powered Cavalier with a 4.16. RB Smith in his Steve Ashworth powered '63 Vette would take the seventh spot with a 4.17. Brian Williams teammate Kevin Rivenbark would capture the final eighth spot with a 4.18 in his Wilkins powered Firebird. Jim Teachman, Kevin Mayer, Bill De'Soto, and Dave Leonardo would take the 9-12 qualifying spots earning $300 each.

Eliminations:

The first pair out to bring the Dunn-Benson fans to thier feet would be "Flyin" Brian Williams, and Mack Copeland. Supercharger versus ProCharger. Copeland would take a starting line advantage with a .047 reaction time to Williams .078 which would be enough for the win as Mack would run a 4.06 over Brians 4.05. Next up would be Ronnie Gardner, and Marc "the Truth" Hayes. Gardner would take the win with a 4.36 over Hayes 4.41 as both drivers put on a driving show. Edward Wilson who would pick up $200 from Lake Anna Motorsports for having the best mph of the event would face off with the man who finished second in the EOPM points, RB Smith. Smith would take the win with a 4.14 over Wilson's 4.28. The final pair out would be Dewayne Silance who picked up $200 from Tom Tillman Race Cars, $300 from Dunn Benson Dragstrip, and a $200 gift certificate from Speedtech for being the number one qualifier at the EOPM Nationals, taking on Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod rookie driver of the year Kevin Rivenbark. Dewayne would take a huge starting line advantage with .036 to Kevin's .109 bulb which would be enough for the win as Silance would run a 4.09 over Rivenbarks 4.08.

"You have to be on your game out here, and especially now because everyone will be gunning for the champ," said Stuart Williams. We would like to commend Rivenbark, and Copeland for posting their personal best in the first round of the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals.

In the semi-finals RB Smith would run a 4.21 to take the win over Ronnie Gardner as the Superman car went into immediate violent tire shake. Dewayne Silance would take a bye run as Mack Copeland would not make the call. Silance would run another 3.99 equal to his qualifying effort to take lane choice over RB Smith in the final.

The final round would showcase the 2010 champion against the runner up with Silance taking on Smith. Dewayne Silance and the Buck Racing Engines Team would save the best for last running a 3.96 over RB Smiths 4.17. Silance would pick up the winners purse along with another $100 gift certificate from Speedtech.

"It's an honor to be the first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Champion, as this thing has grown fast. I'm proud of some longtime friends of mine who put this club together, and I do plan to defend this title in 2011, as I look to repeat" said Silance.

This championship team has had an awesome run to start the season late, and win a championship with the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods due to the fierce competition. There were no other repeat winners all season as Henderson, Smith, Jones, Varner, Gardner, and Beal each won events this season.

Before winnning the EOPM Nationals, the 2010 Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Champion won the World Finals at Coastal Plains while competing with the world's fastest Powerglide club, the Quick 8 Outlaws, last weekend.

The last EOPM race of this year will be at Coastal Plains on November 20th, but it will start our 2011 points season.

Superman Brings EOPM Trophy North!!!
(9-20-2010) BENSON, NC – Saturday, September 18th, the G&G Racing Team of driver Ronnie Gardner, and team owner JD Goad made their mark with the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods being the first North team to win at Dunn-Benson.

"It was a very long weekend as we got the motor back Friday night, and was racing with the EOPM Saturday. Definitely a case of hard work paying off, and we thank our sponsors Primetime Race Cars, P.A.R Racing Engines, Goad's Body Shop, Weaver's Transmissions, James T. Davis Paint Centers, and D&S Insurance Agency for all their support this year," said JD Goad.

Coming into the last points race for the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods of the 2010 season only one point separated the top two men Dewayne Silance and RB Smith. Sadly Smith was unable to attend the event which determined 2 time IHRA Top Sportsman champ Dewayne Silance the 2010 Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Champion.

Through three amazing rounds of qualifying Edward Wilson, Ronnie Gardner, Todd Tutterow, Danny Perry, Marc Hayes, Brian Williams, Kevin Mayer, Dave Leonardo, Mack Copeland, Dewayne Silance, Kevin Rivenbark, Derrick Townes, Lorenzo Stringfield, and Steve Corker would deliver an amazing show to the Dunn Benson fans.

Todd Tutterow would capture the number one qualifying spot with a 4.012 blast using up alot of track with his Blown small block Mustang. Ronnie Gardner would qualify number two with a 4.019. Danny Perry would take the number three spot with a 4.073 with Marc Hayes in fourth with a 4.076. Dunn-Benson's own Brian Williams would qualify fifth with a 4.09, while Edward Wilson would finish qualifying sixth with a 4.11. Derrick Townes who competed at VMP with the EOPM, made his first trip to Dunn-Benson from upper Maryland would qualify seventh with a 4.16. Kevin Mayer would hold the eight spot with a 4.24.

In the first round of eliminations Danny Perry in his nitrous powered 'Vette would take on Edward Wilson in his nitrous powered '41 Willys. Perry would take the win light with a 4.77 as Wilson had violent tire shake. Brian Williams in his blown 'Vette would take on Marc Hayes in his nitrous powered Cavalier. Hayes would shake the tires as Williams rocketed to another 4.09 pass and the win. This would bring up Ronnie Gardner in the nitrous powered '67 Camaro against Kevin Rivenbark in his nitrous powered '68 Firebird. Rivenbark would come in as an alternate for Derrick Townes. Gardner would take the win with a 4.03 over Rivenbarks 4.18. Last up for the first round of eliminations would be number one qualifier Todd Tutterow in the blown powered Mustang against Kevin Mayer in the blown Willys. Tutterow would take the win with a 4.03 over Mayers 4.23.

In the semifinals Todd Tutterow would take on Brian Williams. They would leave the tree close together with Brian's .016 blub to Todd's .019, but Williams would take the victory with a 4.07 to Tutterow's 4.13. Ronnie Gardner would have a single pass as Danny Perry would not be able to make the call. Gardner would run a 4.02 to have lane choice over Brian Williams.

In the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod final Ronnie Gardner would leave the tree first with a .034 light to Brian Williams .085, and never look back for the win running another 4.02 over Williams 4.05. With the win Gardner would finish the EOPM points season in fourth place with Williams finishing in third. Andy Beal who was unable to attend due to having emergency surgery would round out the top 5 in fifth place only five points behind Gardner. Awesome job to all the teams.

We were very impressed with Derrick Townes who qualified for the event and only made one pass. The team let us know they will be at the EOPM event at Coastal Plains in November and plan to compete more with us in 2011. Lorenza Stringfield who was competing in his first EOPM race said he would also see us at Coastal Plains. Maurice Bea also let us know that the Buck powered Mustang will be coming soon to represent the NBrth also. The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod's only ProCharged team with Mack Copeland piloting have set a personal mission to become the fastest ProCharged team in the world at the EOPM Nationals.

Talking with JD Goad after the race I was told that there is a EOPM trophy from Dunn-Benson in the North now and they plan to bring the EOPM Nationals trophy that way also. JD also wanted to thank his team Ray Shipman, Jamie Thompson, Mike Stanley, Calvin Fauber, and most of all his father for giving them the opportunity to continue to do what they love, and igniting JD's passion for Pro Mod racing all those years ago.

 

Congratulations!!
 

Silance and Buck Racing Engines make statement at VMP!!
(8-30-2010) DINWIDDIE, VA – August 28 will not soon be forgotten by heads up doorslammers fans, and racers all over the world, as it was the day that the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods, and Custom T's of DC brung "the New Show" to Virginia Motorsports Park. "It was our goal to have an awesome show at Dinwiddie that should help with the future of this club, and our number one goal of setting a new standard in Outlaw Pro Mod racing. We definitely have to thank our sponsor and long time supporter Larry Thompson for believing in the EOPM enough to have this event with us," said EOPM Joint Director Stuart Williams.

Just before qualifying started the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods had a drivers meeting where a vote took place between having a consolation race or a quick 16. The end result would see the first ever Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod quick 16. This was a time that it was good that we are flexible, and sincere in wanting to put on the best show possible for the fans as we are a quick 8 club. As Shawn, Stuart, and I walked around the staging lanes for the first round of qualifying, we were just as excited as the fans in the stands, as the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods had 37 teams attempting to qualify with about five teams not making the call due to breaking, or choosing to watch the show. "The car count is crazy, but there is also the fact that Steve Vick broke Friday night testing at VMP, and several other teams who support us couldn't make it. Wow, what a birthday gift," said Shawn Kelly.

After the first round of qualifying was complete the fans were in awe as Extreme Pro Stock racer, Bert Jackson would be on the bump spot with a 4.27. Dewayne Silance would be the number 1 man with a 3.96, with legendary Pro Mod racer Charles Carpenter close behind in the 2nd spot with a 3.97. When the second and final qualifying round was over Dewayne "the Hogfarmer" Silance in his Charlie Buck Racing Engines powered JBRC '68 Camaro would once again be the number one qualifier with a 3.958 earning the $200 low qualifier money from Tom Tillman Race Cars. Charles Carpenter in his big nitrous powered '55 Chevy would be the number 2 qualifier with a 3.975. EOPM sponsor Andy Beal in his blown '63 Vette would be the number 3 qualifier with a 3.994. Brian Williams would be the number 4 qualifier with a 3.998. John Bartunek in his big nitrous powered '68 Camaro would be the number 5 qualifier with a 4.028. Jason Harris would run a 4.038 to qualify 6th with his nitrous powered '68 Firebird. Marc Hayes in his nitrous powered Cavalier would qualify number 7 with a 4.050. Steve Cossis in his nitrous powered '67 Camaro would qualify 8th with a 4.050 to round out the top eight teams. Wait a second though! This race was turned into a quick 16. Todd Howard with the only Ford in the field in his nitrous powered 2008 Cobra Mustang would qualify 9th with a 4.051. The current NEOPMA blower class points leader, Steve King would qualify 10th with a 4.055 with his blown '68 Camaro. Terry Dehaven in his blown '63 Vette would qualify 11th with a 4.077. Dwayne Wolfe would qualify 12th in his blown Firebird with a 4.116. David Campbell in his nitrous powered 70.5 Camaro would qualify 13th with a 4.129. RB Smith would qualify 14th with a 4.132 in his Virginia Speed Race Cars nitrous powered '63 Vette. Derrick Townes in his blown '68 Camaro would run a 4.142 to qualify 15th. Jeremy Hoy in his Charlie Buck powered '63 Vette would qualify on the bump at 16th with a 4.18. Thats right the bump spot was a 4.18 for a single class quick 16 show. Then the number 17 and 18 qualifiers, Jim Teachman and Troy Henderson ran 4.187 and 4.195. "This is the best of the best in Outlaw Pro Mod racing, which brings out the best in guys with stiff competition causing many teams to run personal bests'" said Stuart Williams.

With qualifying complete, it was clear that Dewayne Silance, and Charles Carpenter were on a collision course to do battle in the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Big Showdown finals. In round 1 of eliminations Dewayne "the Hogfarmer" Silance would go head to head with the Ford Cobra Mustang of Todd Howard. Silance would run 3.937 for the win over Howard's 4.031. On the other side of the ladder Charles Carpenter would face off with Steve King. Carpenter would pilot the "55" to a 3.991 to take the win over King's troubled 7.789. In round 2 Charlie Buck Racing Engines own Dewayne Silance would meet David Campbell who pulled a upset win over John Bartunek in round 1. Campbell would leave the tree first with a .013 bulb to Silances .052 but the Buck horsepower would run a 3.944 to pick up the win over Campbell's 8.12. The 3.944 would earn the Silance Racing team and Charlie Buck Racing Engines a new world record for a nitrous powerglide car. Charles Carpenter would face Big Dog star Jason Harris in round 2. Harris would leave the tree first with a .037 bulb to Carpenter's .100, but Carpenter would get to the finish line first for the win with a 3.96 to Harris's 7.71.

In the semi-finals their would be a pair of nitrous versus blower match-ups, as Dewayne Silance would face Andy Beal, and Charles Carpenter would face off with Brian Williams. First up would be Charles Carpenter, and Brian Williams who had taken out Steve Cossis in round 2, and Dwayne Wolfe in round 1. Williams would have a killer light with a .001 to Carpenter's .037, but Carpenter would run a 3.941 to take the win over Williams 4.002. Next up would be Dewayne Silance, and Andy Beal who took out Derrick Townes in round 2, and Troy Henderson in round 1. Silance would leave the tree first with a .015 bulb to Beal's .024, and never look back, once again shattering the nitrous powerglide record with a 3.928, in the awesome Buck Racing Engines powered, JBRC 68 Camaro.


An amazing final was set between number 1 qualifier Dewayne Silance and Charles Carpenter. Dewayne Silance would pick up the win as Charles Carpenter would be disqualified for crossing the center line. "I had immediate tire shake, and I saw him coming so I immediately locked up the brakes. That was a close call. I'm glad Charles is okay, and that team did a heck of job today turning that car around between rounds," said Dewayne Silance.

Talking with Stuart Williams Monday, Mr. Carpenter said, "I had a great time running with the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods and you guys have a good thing going. The car is at Allan Pittmans to be repaired. Please keep me informed on your races as I plan to run with you guys more in the future." We thank all the teams and fans for making the EOPM Big Showdown live up to and beyond expectations.
 

Silance and Buck Racing Dominate EOPM!!

(8-23-2010) BENSON, NC – "When you go to three finals in a row with one club, be the number one qualifier at two and win two which Dewayne Silance has done, that's a loud statement out here with this competition," said Stuart Williams of the EOPM. "This was another excellent Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod event with the best of the best in outlaw racing," Williams finished.

On August 21st the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods gave the Dunn-Benson fans "the Show" once again, with twenty awesome heads up doorslammers in the staging lanes during the three rounds of qualifying for the elite 8. The fans were pleased to see Andy Beal who won the last event, Danny Perry, Dwayne White, Kevin Mayer, RB Smith, Carol Long, Todd Tutterow, Mike Graham, Edward Wilson, Ronnie Gardner, Mack Copeland, David Campbell, Buzz Varner, Bobby Baucom, Dave Leonardo, Brian Williams, Troy Henderson, Kevin Rivenbark, Dewayne Silance, and Rocky Raynor who was competing in his first EOPM event. After three exciting rounds of qualifying Dewayne Silance would have the fans in an uproar being the number one qualifier with a backbreaking 3.96 pass. Todd Tutterow would be the number two man with a 4.04 in his awesome blown small block Mustang. Danny Perry would take the number three spot with a 4.10 in his nitrous powered Corvette while Ronnie Gardner would run a 4.12 to round out the top four spots. Brian Williams in his blown Corvette would qualify fifth. Edward Wilson in his wild big nitrous powered '41 Willy's would qualify sixth. Kevin Rivenbark would qualify seventh in his nitrous powered '68 Pontiac, and David Campbell in his nitrous powered '70.5 Camaro would round out the top eight.

With the fierce battle that is Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod qualifying over, the fans and race teams were all set for eliminations to begin. First up for the war would be the G&G Racing team with Ronnie Gardner piloting the big nitrous powered 67 Camaro known as Superman against "Flyin" Brian Williams in his brutally blown powered Corvette. Unfortunately Williams car would not fire, while Gardner would post a 4.01 using alot of the track to get down. Danny Perry and Edward Wilson would be up next. Edward Wilson who was recently qualifying at the St. Louis ADRL event against multiple time big dogg winner Danny Perry. When the tree dropped Wilson would have a .0167 bulb to Perry's .0826, but Danny would blast to a 4.04 while Edward's Willy's would have violent tire shake giving Danny the win. Kevin Rivenbark who had run his new career best with a 4.14 would face one of the most feared competitors in the world in Outlaw Pro Mod competition, Todd "King Tut" Tutterow. Todd would leave a 4.29 on the board after a pedaling multiple wheelstanding pass while Kevin would have a small fire at the tree. Dewayne "Hogfarmer" Silance would face David "Thunderwolf" Campbell to finish up round one. At the tree David would have a superb .0160 bulb to Dewayne's .0232 but the Buck Racing Engines power would rocket to a 3.99 for the win as Campbell lifted early.

In round two eliminations Danny Perry would face the Todd Tutterow. King Tut would have a slight starting line advantage, but Danny would use all guns to get around him for the win. Dewayne Silance would face off with "Superman" Ronnie Gardner. Gardner would go into tire shake immediately while Silance would coast to another 3.99 pass. This would set up an all nitrous final with Dewayne Silance taking on big dogg star Danny Perry. When the time came, and all the nitrous lines were purged, Danny would take a shot at the tree bringing on the red bulb as Dewayne would have lift off one more time with a 4.00 blast to end the night.

This was also the first race where the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods and Dunn-Benson Dragstrip paid the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th qualifiers $300 each instead of trying to have a consolation race. EOPM sponsor Andy Beal qualified at number 9 with a 4.17 just missing the bump which was a 4.16. Rocky Raynor who was competing for his first time with the EOPM qualified number 10 with a 4.20. Dwayne White from South Carolina qualified number 11 with a 4.21 at only 159mph. Troy Henderson who was the only EOPM North driver to compete would qualify number 12 with a 4.24. Also worth noting the fact that Mack Copeland who was making his first passes with a new combination, going from a powerglide to a bruno/lenco setup made a shakedown pass after struggling in qualifying which resulted in a 4.14 pass. "Our goal is to be the baddest pro-charged team on the planet representing the EOPM," said Copeland. Watch out for this team!

"Many people may not truly understand what the Silance Racing Team has accomplished here in the EOPM. They have competed in three events with us out of seven, and now are in second place in the points only eleven points behind the leader RB Smith. That's a bad man and that new 5.3 Charlie Buck Racing Engine is laying the smack down," said Shawn Kelly of K&S Productions.

Next race is August 28th at Virginia Motorsports Park for the only chance to see the EOPM compete in the north thus far in 2010. A very special thanks to Brittany Henderson and her mom along with the whole H&P Motorsports Team for the help this weekend with results.

The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods would like to thank Mike Graham of Virginia Speed Race Cars, Charlie Buck Racing Engines, Avis Sutherland of Dan River Window Company, Beal Racing Engines Tom Tillman Race Cars, Van Abernethy of Drag Illustrated, Lake Anna Motorsports, Larry Thompson of Custom T's of DC, and K&S Productions.
 


EOPM Continue Search For New Sponsors!!
(7-30-2010) FREDERICKSBURG, VA - The temperatures have definitely heated up this summer, along with the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods who have quickly become one of the East Coasts most exciting heads up doorslammer clubs.  "It's been a magnificent start for this club with some of the best pro mod racing anywhere, but we still have a lot we want to accomplish to get to our goals" said Stuart Williams of EOPM. 

As a new club with people in place, who are dedicated to working hard to be one of the elite 1/8th mile doorslammer clubs on the East Coast, we are actively searching for sponsors to help us to maximize our efforts to reach a long term goal.  "We have a lot of faith in our promotion team of K&S productions, to meet any sponsors individual needs" said Stuart Williams.  "These guys have learned multiple things, and continue to learn things that promote the sponsors, the teams, tracks, and the club itself.  Now we look forward to working with more businesses, and companies to ensure the success of this first season to live up to the hype of being "the New Show" on the East Coast.  It would be great to have an official tire and, official racing gas of the EOPM"  Williams finished.  

The club has attracted some awesome teams this year to compete with the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods and we are still beating the bushes to make things better for Outlaw Pro Mod racing in our areas.  We thank our present sponsors Andy Beal of Beal Racing Engines, Mike Graham of Virginia Speed Race Cars, Avis Sutherland of Dan River Window Company, Williams Concrete, Charlie Buck of Buck Racing Engines, Tom Tillman of Tom Tillman Race Cars, Ralph Duggins of Lake Anna Motorsports, Larry Thompson of Custom T's of DC, and K&S Productions for their continued support.  None of this would be possible without the tracks who are supporting us this inaugural season.  We definitely thank Roxboro Motorsports, Northeast Dragway, and Dunn-Benson Dragway, as we were very excited to work with each this season.  Recently announced, the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods will compete in the North at Virginia Motorsports Park for one event in October thanks to Custom T's of DC. 

"All of our present sponsors are more than just sponsors as they are very active in helping us set a new standard.  We personally talk to them several times a month creating a racing family atmosphere between us" said Stuart.  We are still looking for larger sponsors such as an official fuel, and tire, but we also would like to have official photographers/video for our events.  We have different things to sponsor such as low qualifier, title sponsor for a race, and the hitman program.

(7-26-2010) BENSON, NC – Saturday July 24th the EOPM put on another awesome Extreme Show at Dunn-Benson Dragstrip but this time in Extreme heat.

When the teams were called to the lanes for Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod qualifying we had Edward Wilson, Dave Leonardo, Dwayne White, Kevin Mayer, Tommy Mauney, Glenn Jones, Jeff Blasi, Buzz Varner, Andy Beal, RB Smith, Brian Williams, Dewayne Silance, Mack Copeland, Ronnie Gardner, Chris Rini, Robert Morris, Kevin Rivenbark, and wild Bill De'Soto all prepared for battle to begin. After the three exciting rounds of qualifying the fans were left in awe as the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods would once again deliver the promised show at Dunn Benson Dragstrip, with Ronnie Gardner driving the Goad's Racing Teams big nitrous powered '67 Camaro taking the number one qualifying spot. JD Goad and Ronnie Gardner earned a low qualifier plaque, and $200 from both Williams Concrete, and Lake Anna Motorsports for being on top of the final qualifying sheet.

As it was time for the first round of eliminations between the top 8 competitors, no one from the die hard doorslammer fans, and track staff, to the EOPM staff could predict the outcome as the number one qualifier clocked a 4.10 and the number eight qualifier got in the show with a 4.20. "It's real tight when you know these racers, because the last three qualifiers have all been faster recently" said Shawn Kelly of EOPM. The first pair out would be the number four man Andy Beal in his blown '63 Vette who qualified with a 4.120 against the number five man Edward Wilson in his big nitrous powered '41 Willy's who qualified with a 4.121. With a .028 to a .061 Wilson would leave the tree first but shake violently as soon as he turned the clutch loose, while Beal would pedal to a 4.18 pass. Talking with Mr. Wilson later it seems he should have cut his clutch before the event, and didn't have time at the track. "I just couldn't take enough clutch out, but its a lesson learned. We had a great time and are pleased with our qualifying effort in this heat" said Wilson.

The next pair up for first round would be Dewayne Silance in his Charlie Buck powered '68 Camaro, and Brian Williams in his Blown 05 Vette. Silance the number three man with a 4.114 would get a bye, as Williams the number six man with a 4.133 could not make the call. Always the fierce competitor the Hogfarmer would run a 4.09 which would be the first 4.zero pass of the evening, but not the last. The third pair out would pit EOPM North Team, Chris Rini in his Charlie Buck powered Stratus, who was the number two man with a 4.110 against EOPM South team, Buzz Varner in his big nitrous powered 63 Vette, who was the number seven man with a 4.166. Rini would have a slight advantage at the start with a .095 bulb to Varner's .106, but Buzz would get to the finish line first with a 4.112 to Chris's 4.23. This would be the ATI sponsored teams first appearance with the EOPM in the Buck powered Stratus. This would bring up the number one qualifier Ronnie Gardner in the big nitrous assisted Superman '67 Camaro, against the number eight man with a 4.20, RB Smith, in his nitrous powered Virginia Speed Race Cars '63 Vette. Gardener would be forced to lift after severe tire shake, but Smith would cross the center line giving Ronnie Gardner the win. The heads up doorslammer fans lining the fence, and filling the stands in the extreme heat were thrilled, as they were not disappointed by the show the EOPM was putting on.

In the semifinals Andy Beal would be set to face off with Ronnie Gardner while Dewayne Silance would do battle once again with Buzz Varner of the Don Plemmons Racing Team. In the Beal vs Gardner battle, Ronnie would leave the tree first with a .023 light to Andy's .038, but Beal would run an awesome 4.07 to get to the finish line before Gardner's 4.12, as the fans went wild cheering. In the Silance vs Varner battle, Varner would get a slight advantage at the tree with an amazing .006 light to Silance's .019, but Silace would get to the stripe on the far end first with a pedaling 4.33 as Varner was forced to lift. This would set up the supercharged 63 Vette of Andy Beal to go to war against the Charlie Buck Racing Engines powered '68 Camaro of Dewayne Silance who won the last EOPM event. A Nitrous versus Blower finale for the first time this season at Dunn Benson Dragstrip and second time for the EOPM. Kevin Mayer in the blown 41 Willy's went to an EOPM final against Glenn Jones in the Buck powered 63 Vette earlier this season at Northeast Dragway.

As the tree dropped Dewayne Silance would leave first with a .032 light to Andy Beal's .055. At the finish line Beal would pick up the win with a 4.061 over Silance's 4.107 giving the non nitrous assisted teams of the EOPM their first win. "The South wins another one! Whats that 5 wins for the south, and 1 for the north?" said Chris Croom EOPM south adviser.

"This was another awesome event at Dunn Benson Dragstrip with a good car count, and two of our sponsors represented in the finals with Buck Racing Engines, and Beal Racing Engines," said Stuart Williams of EOPM. "Their were some teams such as Ricky Walton, Robert Morris, Glenn Jones, and Dave Leonardo who came out to support us, and hope we can put together a totally separate field of qualifying. We are working on it as the EOPM, and Dunn Benson want all the racers to feel like they can compete here and truly make this the Doorslammer Capitol of the East Coast. We are also very proud, and happy for Edward Wilson who has come a long way with his program since his first race with us," Williams finished.

We also had several teams compete for the first time and we would like to thank them for bearing the heat with us to give the fans an awesome show. It was Chris Rini, Tommy Mauney, Dwayne White, Robert Morris, and two-time NEOPMA Nitrous Champion Jeff Blasi's first outing with the EOPM and we hope to see them all again as we need them. We also thank Van the Man of Drag Illustrated, Extreme Motorsports, Rupture Street Wear, and Robert Keene Photo's for coming out.

"I look at this race in this extreme heat that made some cancel, and we had many teams who did not make the trip due to the heat, and some because their cars were not ready in time. I would not be surprised to see a car count exceed 25 before the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals in October with all this support we are getting from the racers, especially if we can obtain a second qualifying field," said Karon Woodward of EOPM. Many teams competed in their third event with us this weekend, and have become eligible for the EOPM Nationals which is shaping up to be just awesome. Watch for upcoming news as sponsors step up to be apart of this highly anticipated event, and we continue to work hard to be better.
 


Custom T's to have EOPM compete at VMP!!

(7-14-2010) FREDERICKSBURG, VA – The guys at Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod could not be any happier after receiving some very exciting news today.

"We announced earlier this season that long time supporter and sponsor, Larry Thompson would be working with the EOPM to put on a show which was scheduled to be at Capitol Raceway August 14th. That date has now been changed to August 28th, and will be at one of the premier tracks on the entire East Coast, Virginia Motorsports Park," said Stuart Williams.

Larry Thompson of Custom T's of DC felt that the change of facility gave everything a much better chance of succeeding in what we are trying to do, with VMP being in a more centralized location between the north and south teams.

Keeping with the motto of the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods of setting a new standard in outlaw pro mod racing the purse has also been increased. It will be $2000 to the winner, $1000 to runner up, $750 for semis, and $500 for first round loser in EOPM quick 8, with free entry for car and driver.

"We asked Larry about making some changes to give him, and the fans the absolute best possible race we could, and the man stepped up and has given us the largest payout that we have ever seen in this area for this style of racing. We thank him for believing in us, but now its time to work as this will be a very important race for the EOPM, as we are always looking down the road at a broader picture," said Williams.

Already EOPM sponsor, Tom Tillman Race Cars has stepped up, and will award the low qualifier at VMP with an extra $200. "We have talked to several EOPM north teams today, who are, to say the least, ecstatic about this race. The first thing they all say is, now lets see how many south teams are going to come play on August 28th in our backyard," said Shawn Kelly of EOPM.

This train hasn't slowed down since it took off in January as we keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling!

Stay tuned for more news coming from K&S Productions, the EOPM, and Dunn Benson Dragstrip.
 

Lake Anna Motorsports and Williams Concrete to sponsor Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod #1 Qualifier!!

(7-8-2010) FREDERICKSBURG, VA – On July 24th the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods will return to the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip for the EOPM Showdown 3 Summer Shootout. The EOPM competitors will once again have an added bonus as Lake Anna Motorsports and Williams Concrete will each put up $200 towards low qualifier money. Therefore after three awesome rounds of qualifying, whoever sits on top of the qualifying sheets will earn an extra $400.

"It's definitely promising to be another awesome race with all the guys who have talked to us the last few weeks," said Stuart
Williams of EOPM.

In addition to the normal payout of $3000 to win, $1500 runner up, $1250 semis, and $800 for the first round loser for the main show Dunn-Benson Dragstrip will also have a consolation race paying $800 to the winner and $400 to the runner up to add excitement to the show for the great fans.

Dunn Benson Dragstrip and the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods are on a mission to give the competitors the best place to compete for Pro Mod action on the East Coast to give the fans the best show possible.

 "We may possibly try having two separate fields of qualifying for different payouts at one of these EOPM events before the end of this season. The reason being is we want all the Pro Mods being able to compete, but its just an idea to make things better at this point," said
Williams.

We would also like to announce the official payout for the 1st Annual Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals at Dunn-Benson Dragstrip on October 16th. It will be $5000 to the winner, $2000 to the runner up, $1250 to the semi-finalist, and $800 to first round loser. We will also have a consolation race paying the winner $1500 and the runner up $800.

To be eligible for the EOPM Nationals competitors will need to have competed in three EOPM events before the Nationals. Many sponsors are already showing support for this event which will most likely change the purse also.

"We want to put as many Pro Mod teams on the grounds as we can to give the fans a show they will never forget," said Shawn Kelly of EOPM.

We definitely have to thank Ralph Duggins of Lake Anna Motorsports and Stuart
Williams of Williams Concrete for the support of this race. July 24th the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods return to Dunn Benson Dragstrip.

One of the most fierce, and respected competitors in pro mod racing even called myself, and Brian of Dunn-Benson this week" said Stuart Williams of EOPM. The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod south teams are definitely ready for war at the EOPM Showdown with an awesome list of teams locked and loaded as they say.

K&S Productions will also present an awesome plaque for the low qualifier, along with a trophy for the winner of the first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Showdown winner at the New Dunn Benson Dragstrip.

Also starting at this event will be the Hitman program. "This is a program we used in the past to bring more excitement to the fans at our events, and it’s very simple. The winner of this event will be a targeted man by the rest of the EOPM. The team who defeats the Dunn Benson winner at the next EOPM event during eliminations will receive $100 reward for taking out the target, and become the target" said Stuart.

If the winner does not compete at the next event, then the winner of that event will be the new target. The Hitman money which could also use a title sponsor will grow each event that the Dunn-Benson winner is not defeated. Who will be the first target?? Be there May 1st, as the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods and Dunn-Benson Dragstrip will be the place to be.
 

Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod North teams prepare for Dunn-Benson Showdown!!

(4-22-2010) FREDERICKSBURG, VA – On Saturday, May 1st the hottest club on the East Coast, the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods, will bring the "New Show" to the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip.

"We have five EOPM events this season with Dunn-Benson, and we can't wait to kick it off with this first one on May 1st. Working with Brian Williams of D-B has just been awesome so far, which is promising to ensure the growth of both his facility and this club," said Stuart Williams of EOPM.

As always the war between EOPM North and South teams has fans, and teams alike talking. Earlier today James "The Showstopper" Cecil confirmed that he will be making his first hits of the year in his DMPE supercharged 2002 Camaro at Dunn Benson, but is confident of bringing the trophy, and the track record back up north and had this to say, "The man at Dunn-Benson competes at this level, therefore he understands what it takes to race these cars, and it shows in the purse he is putting up for this club. How do you not go support that?" said Cecil. "I'm confident in our team, but we are hoping that the Hillbillies, with driver Terry Dehaven come back us up as a fellow supercharged car, as we hear the rumors of the new bullet that Brian Williams has waiting on all the blower teams," Cecil finished.

Jim "Mr. Reliable" Teachman says he can't wait to bring his Fulton powered Virginia Speed Race Cars '57 Chevy to the New Dunn-Benson Dragstrip. Ricky Walton and Troy "Short Dog" Henderson also plan to make the trip to represent the EOPM north. Henderson, who won the first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod event at Roxboro, also stated that he would like to extend an invitation to Charles Kelly to participate at this great facility, where they could get their long lasting grudge settled during the qualifying rounds.

Also confirmed to be at the first EOPM Showdown at the New Dunn Benson Dragstrip is Andy Jensen. Jensen, who has not been out much this season yet either, hopes to get in some testing friday with their awesome small block turbo powered '68 Camaro along with Cecil.

We have a few other guys who are strong possibilities to take the ride down south to compete, but each are basically game time decisions. Bill Meadows in his naturally aspirated Kaase powered Grand Am, Micheal Knight in his PAR powered Cavalier, Jeremy Hoy in his Charlie Buck powered '63 Vette, and Ted Smith in his big Fulton powered Camaro are all strong possibles.

Once again working with EOPM any way he can, Brian Williams said that he would definitely have a consolation race if there are enough competitors on the grounds May 1st. He also let us know that although the track is closed on Friday, if there are enough cars who want to test Friday night he would open, and have the track ready for war. Please check out
www.dunnbensondragstrip.com for more information. You can contact Stuart Williams at 1-540-408-6296 if you're interested in the test session.
 

Henderson brings Buck Engines 1st Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Win!!!

(4-6-2010) TIMBERLAKE, NC - First and foremost, the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods would like to thank and give all the glory to God for being able to do what we love.  On April 3rd and 4th, the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods brung the "New Show" to Roxboro Motorsports Dragway.  "It was great to be back at Roxboro Motorsports Dragway. It was their first pro mod event since June of last year, and ran smoothly, and we are thankful that general manager, Allan Carpenter has given us the opportunity to compete there again" said Stuart Williams.  This is just the start of what promises to be an exciting season with EOPM. 

On Saturday, the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods kicked off the season with 3 rounds of qualifying at Roxboro Motorsports Dragway’s largest event of the year, the Easter Bash, EOPM Spring Nationals.  When it was time for the first round of qualifying, 11 cars were in the staging lanes, which quickly brung the fans to their feet, for side by side, heads up doorslammer action.  For many of these teams, it would be their first time out for the year, and everyone stood a chance at getting in the quick 8 field.  On his very first pass of the year, Bobby Leonard of L&H Race Cars would drop the hammer for the EOPM south with a 4.206 to claim the number one qualifying spot.  After all three rounds of qualifying were complete, Leonard’s 4.206 pass would be enough to keep him on top of the field.  Jim Teachman in his Virginia Speed Race Cars 57 Chevy would take the number 2 spot with a stout 4.22 pass.  Troy Henderson in his Charlie Buck powered Tom Tillman Race Cars 68 Camaro would place number 3 with a 4.30.  Marc "The Truth" Hayes, who was trying out his new air shifters, would round out the top 4 in his Fulton powered Cavalier with a 4.31.  RB Smith, David Campbell, Ricky Walton, and Wayne Chambers would qualify for the remaining EOPM quick 8 spots. 

On elimination day, the battle between Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod North & South would heat up as there were 4 cars representing each side of the line.  Bobby Leonard, RB Smith, David Campbell, and Wayne Chambers for the south and Jim Teachman, Troy Henderson, Marc Hayes, and Ricky Walton for the north.  In the first round Marc Hayes would take out Roxboro Hall of Famer RB Smith with a 4.202 over a 4.49.  Troy "Short Dog" Henderson would take out Big Dog standout, David Campbell with a 4.27, as Campbell’s car had problems when the lights came down and lost fire.  Jim Teachman, with Joe Lepone Jr. assisting with the tuning duties, would take out Ricky Walton with a 4.25 to a losing 4.81.  Wayne Chambers would take a competition bye as the number 1 qualifier Bobby Leonard was unable to make the call. 

Ricky Walton who finished number 3 in the points last season with the Pro Outlaw Doorslammers was awarded his POD trophy over the weekend, along with Maurice Bea who finished number 2, and Bobby Leonard of L&H Race Cars who is the Pro Outlaw Doorslammers reigning Champion. 

In the semi-finals of the inaugural EOPM Spring Nationals, Marc "The Truth" Hayes would get the win over Wayne Chambers with a 4.225 over a 6.84, as Chambers beautiful Grand Am would continue to pull to centerline at the launch.  Troy "Short Dog" Henderson would turn on the win light over Jim Teachman with a 4.34 over a 4.23, as Teachman had problems with his trans brake releasing according to Lepone.  The Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod final would be set with two north teams going head to head.  Short Dog vs. The Truth, Hayes vs. Henderson, Fulton vs. Buck, but still north EOPM vs. north EOPM.  As the lights dropped, Hayes would have a great starting line advantage, but as they neared half track Hayes would get out the groove unsettling the car just enough for Henderson to pass, and get to the stripe first with a 4.307 over a losing 4.444. 

"Despite a relatively low car count for what we are accustomed to, it turned out to be a very good first show.  We had a lot of fans asking where the next Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod event would be, and when will we be returning to Roxboro Motorsports Dragway" said Stuart Williams of EOPM.  We also had a lot of racers support by attending the race to help teams, and spectate because their cars just were not ready yet, and we thank them.  We definitely want to thank L&H Racecars, Beal Racing Engines, Virginia Speed Racecars, Rupture Street Wear, Tom Tillman Race Cars, Buck Racing Engines, Dan River Window Company, and K&S Productions for their continued support.  Great job to Troy Henderson and H&P Motorsports on their win representing Tom Tillman Race Cars, Parker Trucking, and Buck Racing Engines.
 


Dunn Benson Dragstrip to host Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod Nationals!!!

(3-31-2010) BENSON, NC - Earlier this week, Stuart Williams of Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod got a reassuring call from Mr. Brian Williams, owner of the New Dunn Benson Dragstrip.  Brian Williams thanked and commended Stuart for all the promotion of this new club along with his track. 

"After a few minutes of conversation, Brian just took me by surprise.  He asked me if the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods could take a few more dates at his track" said Stuart. It was then the phone call was made crystal clear. 

Brian Williams and his staff at the New Dunn Benson Dragstrip had decided to postpone their Top Dawg program for this season.  Therefore, Dunn Benson Dragstrip will replace the Top Dawg dates with Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod.  "At this time there just is not enough participation for the Top Dawg events, and whenever we do want to compete by the Dog rules, than we can race at Big Dog" said Brian Williams. 

After receiving the new dates, Stuart and Brian quickly came up with the idea of having October 16th be the first annual EOPM Nationals at the New Dunn Benson Dragstrip.  "We are very excited about this development, and will be throwing ideas back and forth over the next month before any details are finalized.  We want this to be an exciting event for the competitors and the fans alike" said Stuart. 

All the dates can be seen on the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod schedule page.  We definitely want to thank Brian Williams and the Dunn Benson staff for putting their trust in us, that we can help each other grow fast.

K&S Productions announce Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods

(1-16-2010) FREDERICKSBURG, VA – The year 2010 will mark the beginning of a new era in heads up doorslammer action on the East Coast. Karon Woodward and Shawn Kelly of K&S Productions, along with Stuart Williams have started laying the groundwork to bring out a new heads up, bring it don't sing it doorslammer club named the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods.

That groundwork over the last few days has consisted of gaining dedicated and reliable sponsors, and tracks for the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods 2010 season.

We are very proud to announce the Rupture Street Wear and L&H Racecars have committed to being major sponsors thanks to James Cecil at Rupture and Bobby Leonard at L&H.

Avis Sutherland of Dan River Window Company, and Tom Tillman Racecars have also committed to helping get this new club into high gear.


So far Sumerduck Dragway, Northeast Dragway, and Roxboro Motorsports Park are all dedicated to working with K&S Productions to help getting the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods started. Roxboro Motorsports Park will also be calling on K&S to promote their new monthly series called
"The Bad Dog".

At our first Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod event we will be presenting Bobby Leonard and Robert Hayes with a trophy for winning the 2009 Pro Outlaw Doorslammers Championship. "Bobby and Robert traveled alot, worked hard, and did a hell of a job supporting the P.O.D. last season, and it is only right to award them with the trophy that they deserve," said Shawn Kelly. L&H Racecars not only won the P.O.D. championship, but was also title sponsor of a P.O.D. event at Virginia Motorsports Park.
Avis Sutherland of Dan River Window Company helped Stuart Williams gain many sponsors for the first and only Pro Outlaw Doorslammer Nationals at Roxboro Motorsports Park in 2008. James Cecil of Rupture Street Wear owns several track records including the e.t record at Northeast Dragway and cant wait to return in 2010.

"It is an exciting time starting a new club, just as it was when we started the P.O.D.," said Stuart Williams. "Sometimes its just better to make a fresh start. Over the last few years K&S and myself have learned alot by doing the work we did in the P.O.D. and we plan to implement all that knowledge to ensure a fast success in this new venture," Williams finished.

The absolute purpose of the
Extreme Outlaw Pro Mods is to continue to have a place for our peers to compete, and have fun where the leadership has a passion for doing what they do to ensure that the club is the best it can be.
We are actively seeking new tracks
to compete at and
bring the "New Show", and seeking sponsors to help make things better.
The ball is rolling, but there is alot of work to do before we are ready to begin the first EOPM season.

 

We would like to thank James Cecil of Rupture Street Wear, L&H Racecars, Dan River Window Company, Tom Tillman Racecars, Roxboro Motorsports Park, Northeast Dragway, and Sumerduck Dragway for their continued support. More press releases will follow as we gain tracks and launch a new website for EOPM.
