JUSTIN JONES A true rookie in a field made up of Pro Mod veterans , Justin Jones wasn ’ t sure what to expect out of his World Series of Pro Mod debut . The 19-yearold Jones is used to running his Brandon Pesz-tuned ‘ 69 Camaro to the eighth-mile with a screwblown motor in the Midwest Pro Mod Series . He was impressive in roots-blown , quarter-mile trim throughout testing and shakedown sessions , but a disconnected boost hose ended his time on Thunder Mountain in a first-round defeat
to 2016 runner-up Steven Whiteley . Regardless , the weekend was a thrilling learning experience for the rising star .
“ Oh , I loved it ,” Jones told CompetitionPlus . com ’ s Tracy Renck . “ It ’ s unreal . Especially , switching from eighth-mile to quarter-mile . My first quarter-mile pass in my car this weekend , I told Brandon , ‘ hell , I had my hand up on the chute at 330 ’. It took forever to get down through there .’ But it has been a blessing . I was fortunate , and I had a blast out here .”
