Pro-Mod-1969-Camaro

Wallpaper Description:

The world’s Pro Modified class envelope continues to be pushed to the limits by the dynamic Middle East-based Q80 Racing Team. The team was founded by Shaikh Duaij Fahad Al-Sabah, and this year — depending on event scheduling — features drivers from the U.S. (Eric Dillard), Dominican Republic (Jose Gonzalez), and Kuwait (Turky al Zahiri). The Q80 Racing Team first came to big-time notoriety when they clobbered the worldwide quarter-mile record for Pro Mod-type cars last summer. Racing their 481X twin-turbocharged Pro Line Racing-powered 1969 Camaro, they sent shock waves with an unheard of quick and fast 5.47 e.t. at over 272 mph run last year (in Outlaw Pro Mod trim) while racing in St. Louis. Now in 2015, the team has added an eighth-mile all-time speed record for the genre to their resume. They clocked a speed of 227.84 mph while racing in Pro Extreme during the PDRA’s spring event held in North Carolina. The team’s remarkable rise to this performance level has come with pedigree tuner Steve Petty’s influence, and expectations are that the 4,000hp (!) Camaro is still ripe for more. Can you say “280-mph door-slammer?”
