In his second race back since a brutal top-end crash in qualifying at the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals, four-time PDRA Pro Nitrous world champion Jim Halsey rides the wheelie bars in his Brandon Switzer-tuned, Fulton-powered“ Blacklist”’ 68 Camaro alongside six-time NHRA Pro Stock world champion Erica Enders in the fourth qualifying session at the Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod presented by Red Line Oil.

210.70 mph, Halsey came up just a few spots short of qualifying for the 32-car WSOPM main event. He was in good company, though – 2024 Snowbirds winner Kye Kelley, Enders, PDRA Pro Boost standout Melanie Salemi, 2025 WSOPM No. 1 qualifier Mark Micke, and 2025 WSOPM champion Steve King were all just outside the field after Q5.
