Mark Nielsen ready to do battle in 2011 PMRA Pro Modified season
Major changes on Camaro should lead to success after learning cycle in 2010
BRANTFORD, ONTARIO (December 23, 2010) – After some major changes to the Nielsen Motorsports Chevrolet Yenko Camaro SS Pro Mod in 2010, car driver and owner Mark Nielsen said the team should be ready with a vengeance when the Pro Modified Racing Association begins the 2011 season.
Earlier this season, the team installed a screw blower on the ERD (Engine Research & Development) 526-cubic inch Brad Anderson (BAE) Supercharged Hemi engine of the G-Force Race Cars Camaro, and changed the traditional three-speed Lenco gearbox with a Bruno/Lenco torque convertor automatic set-up, a new combination for the team to learn.
“We struggled with the combo,” said Nielsen, who placed ninth in the 2010 Pro Modified Racing Association Championship Point Award Series presented by Magnum Auto Parts and Patio Passport. “But later in the season we got back down to the ETs we’re accustomed to.”
