Blown Money heading to “Georgia’s House of Speed” for the 34th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals
Grand Junction, CO – The 34th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals mark the third event on the 2014 
NHRA Pro Modified Tour. Held May 16-18 at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA the event marks the return of NHRA Pro Mods to the Atlanta area after a two year absence.
Atlanta hasn’t been a friendly place to Mike Knowles and his “Blown Money” team. The team has failed to qualify for the last two Pro Mod events held there (2010 and 2011) but, with recent performance gains Knowles is confident this year will be different. “We definitely need to get the monkey off our back and this would be a great place for us to do it. This track has never been good to us. Lately we’ve been making gains with our program and we seem to be ready to crest the hill. It’s always tough running with this group of racers but I ‘m feeling pretty good about this race,” said team owner/driver, Mike Knowles.
Knowles currently sits just outside of the top 10 in points, in the 11th position. Only one round win separates him from the 7th position in this tight early points chase. Chassis Builder and “Blown Money” team member, Tim McAmis, is no stranger to the tough competition within the Pro Mod ranks and feels this team is very close to a run at the top. “We have a really good group of guys on the team and we have made significant gains over the last few races. We just need to find our groove and everything will fall into place. We have the equipment and the people we just need that one lucky break and I know we can go on a roll,” said Tim McAmis of Tim McAmis Race Cars.
Each Pro Modified team will be afforded three qualifying attempts with the first set for Friday at 3:45 PM and the second at 6:00 PM. The final attempt is scheduled for Saturday at 12:00 PM with the first round of eliminations set to go off at 2:45 PM.
The second round of eliminations is set for 12:00 PM Sunday with the semifinals at 2:15 PM and the finals scheduled for 3:40 PM. (subject to change)
