LOCAL LEGEND Two-time Top Alcohol Dragster world champion-turned-Pro Mod driver Jim Whiteley stands calm, cool and collected alongside his J&A Service-backed supercharged ‘69 Chevrolet Camaro as he waits out a shakedown pass during the World Series of Pro Mod. Whiteley’s family racing operation is based in Grand Junction, Colorado, located just under four hours west of Bandimere Speedway, so the WSOPM is a welcomed break from his usual long hauls to the 12 races on the E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Series schedule. “I’m so excited that they are bringing this series over here,” Whiteley said. “I have raced here for many, many years and this is home.” Photograph by Cole Rokosky Bandimere Speedway | Morrison, Colorado | Friday, August 10, 2018 16 | D r a g I l l u s t r a t e d | DragIllustrated.com Issue 137
