Jeffers Midwest Pro Mod Event 3 This Weekend; Holzhauer Jr.
Dragster Shootout and King Of Track Events A Success!
Madison, IL - This Saturday, June 18, the Jeffers Midwest Pro Mod Series will be
returning to Gateway Raceway for Event three of six on the fast paced 1/8 mile dragstrip.
John Deflorian, in his quick '03 Grand Am, and the rest of the pack look to challenge
series dominator Bill 'The Thrill' Hill and his lightning fast '53 Corvette.
Hill won the first event of the series and was looking to claim victory number two when
rain ended action just before the final round. Taking top speed last time was Deflorian,
which was the first time all year that the Bill "The Thrill" Hill was challenged.
Other Jeffers MidWest Pro Mod Series Regulars include David Schorr, Terry Murphy,
Donnie Little, Dan Saitz, Delon Joseph, and Tim Albright.
With speeds topping 175 mph and times in the four-second bracket, Round three is
looking to be a race for the ages! We look forward to seeing you out at Gateway
Raceway on June 18 for some high flying drag racing action with the Jeffers Midwest Pro
Mod Series.

NHRA King of the Track Bike Competition Lights Up
Gateway Raceway!
Madison, IL - The NHRA Pro Bike King of the Track first qualifier was held at
Gateway Raceway last Friday, June 10th. The final round placed Bruce Damewood
(Macomb, IL) vs. multi season class champion Bob Lohr (Staunton, IL).
Damewood edged out the champ Lohr by a mere four-thousandths of a second to
claim victory in the Pro Bike final round to qualify himself for Gateway
International Raceway's NHRA King of the Track."
Lohr took the lead off the line but Damewood slowly began to reel in Lohr,
catching the veteran racer before the finish line, applying the brakes to avoid the
breakout, and taking the victory with a one-hundredths-over 9.025 elapsed time
pass on his 9.01 dial-in, at 135.16 miles per hour. Lohr was definitely in the hunt
with a 9.818 E.T. (9.79 D.I.), 129.69 mph effort. Damewood got to the final round
by defeating Ray Devine, Jim Ryan, and Mark Abrams in 5 rounds.
With the victory, Damewood qualified to compete in Gateway International
Raceway's NHRA 'King of the Track', to be held July 9th in conjunction with
Saturday night bracket drag racing program. The "King of the Track" program
will match qualifiers from Gateway's Pro Bike Division, < Mile Super Pro
