TIM SLAVENS AND THE ‘NO MOD’

One year ago, Tim Slavens captured the attention of the drag radial racing community with his 3.621-second, 217 mph
blast down the South Georgia eighth-mile strip to temporarily hold the Radial vs. the World elapsed time record. With an
onslaught of Pro Mod-style entries in the class, the record is now well out of reach for Slavens’ steel-bodied ’69 Camaro.
But if Slavens and tuners Joe Oplawski and Mark “Tydo” Werdehausen have their way, a major RvW win isn’t too far off.
