TERBOX WHERE THERE’S SMOKE... Billy Ahlas drives out of a cloud of tire smoke in his flaming orange and red, ProCharger-boosted ‘62 Chevy Nova before a pass at an Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association event. Ahlas is a member of the Warriors Outlaw Drag Racing Team, a 30-car organization that holds an eight-race championship schedule at tracks around the Mid-Atlantic region. Racing on the eighth- mile in under 5 seconds at over 170 mph, the Warriors also raise awareness for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provides financial assistance to wounded special ops personnel, as well as scholarships for the children of fallen soldiers.
