Known for its “outlaw” style of door slammer racing, the ADRL has added legal Pro Modifieds to its repertoire. The first exhibition event will of legal Pro Mods will be held this weekend at the ADRL Speedtech U.S. Drags IV in Dinwiddie, Va.

Having another venue to run our cars is great for us and being able to do it in front of a crowd like the ADRL draws is awesome. They love their door slammers in the south,” said Knowles.
