2026 IHRA Pro Mod Mania runs June 5–7 at Milan Dragway, Michigan, with a purse exceeding $275,000 and a stacked Pro Mod entry list targeting early-season momentum.

Classes include Limited Drag Radial, Ultra Street, Outlaw 632, Top Sportsman, 235-8.5, All Motor, Door Mod, No Time 28, Open Comp, and Run What Ya Brung.

Friday opens with three qualifying sessions for every class, with a late addition after Q2.

A $2,000 bonus rewards the lowest elapsed time recorded in Pro Mod Q3.

Evening grudge races add head-to-head intrigue for grandstand crowds.

Jason Harris sets the early benchmark at 3.619 seconds in Q1, narrowly ahead of John Doc, Randy Weatherford, Peter Norton, and Travis Harvey in the low-3.60s.

Thirteen drivers dip under 3.69 seconds in Q1, signalling an exceptionally tight performance window.

The Pro Mod roster counts 32 cars, with 25 making first-session attempts.

Paige Coughlin opens strongly in seventh after Q1, driving a Rickie Jones-tuned Camaro backed by Hurricane Motorsports.

Saturday schedules four Pro Mod elimination rounds plus finals across the card, following a chapel service and opening ceremonies honouring veterans and active-duty personnel.

There is no Sunday running, with the day held as the IHRA rain day if required.

Mountain Motor Pro Stock returns as part of the IHRA Triple Crown event, featuring Dillon Voss, who claimed his first class win at Milan last year.

Milan’s position between Detroit and Toledo helps attendance and logistics.

Tickets cost $40 daily for adults, with children 12 and under admitted free.

Veterans and active-duty military receive free entry and a 50% discount for one guest.

Coverage runs on Speed Sport, IHRA.TV on YouTube and Facebook, with local audio available on 91.1 FM.

The Q3 bonus should intensify setups and lane choices, potentially reshuffling the ladder before eliminations.

Expect razor-thin margins through eliminations, with execution and turnaround discipline likely deciding a $275,000-plus outcome.

That pressure underscores IHRA’s competitive revival under president Dustin Farthing, where event cadence and parity are increasingly central.

The technical focus mirrors broader learning efforts, recently highlighted by KTR U courses from Stevie Jackson.
