Do you feel that? Can you hear it? Fall is in the air. The days are getting shorter (isn’t pitch black darkness at 6:00pm fun?) and the evening air is getting much cooler. That can only mean one thing, BOOST WEATHER!!! It’s that time of the year when forced induction records are broken and new hero setups are made. That’s exactly what we’re expecting to happen during the 2021 Edition of the highly popular Mod Nationals race (Nov 11th-14th, 2021 in Adel, GA - South Georgia Motorsports Park).
Mod Nat is the brain child of Justin Young and Ozzy Moya, who back in 2016 set out to create a new Modular V8 based drag racing event to do one thing, take care of the racers. Justin and the crew take pride in putting on an event that features some of the best Modern Ford Powered racing action to be found anywhere, while also providing some of the highest winner payouts around. Those payouts are made possible in large part by the Mod Nats crew snagging quite a few high profile sponsors from the Ford Powered Community; including (but not limited to):
- Accufab
- Beefcake Racing
- Evolution Performance
- FatHouse Fabrications
- HP Tuners
- J2 Fabrication
- Lund Racing
- McLeod Clutches
- MGW Shifters
- Steeda
- SunCoast Performance
- VMP Performance
- Whipple Superchargers
- and even SVTPerformance.com
To say we here at SVTP have been looking forward to this race is an understatement. We were all disappointed last year when, through no fault of the event organizers, ModNats 2020 fell victim to Covid shutdowns. However, the South is now wide open, life has mostly returned to normal, and ModNats 2021 is full-steam ahead. On top of that, the weather is looking like it’s going to be perfect for making some serious runs (dropping into the 50s at sundown). That combined with excellent track-prep should make for some excellent racing action.
