R2B2 Motors/ProCare Rx Pro Mod driver Raymond Commisso claimed the No. 8 qualifying position and
advanced to the second round of eliminations Saturday in the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge
presented by ProCare Rx at the O'Reilly NHRA Summer Nationals at Heartland Park Topeka.
Commisso delivered basically consistent numbers in qualifying with a best of 6.151/231.04 to take
the eighth-seed. In his first round matchup against Taylor Lastor, Commisso had a psychic
.013-second reaction to slap a holeshot win on Lastor, 6.142/238.13 to the quicker-but-losing 6.080
237.21.
"I'm not satisfied with where the car is performing right now, but I know that I'm on my game, and
that makes me happy," Commisso said.
"We had so much power in this car, and were making really good numbers, so we just have to find
that sweet spot again and I'm sure she will take off and run like the wind again.
"Al Billes is a genius when it comes to making these cars run, and I have every bit of confidence
in him in the world. I'm just going to work my hardest at doing what I do, and leave the car to
him, and I know everything will work out just fine," he said.
Commisso is slated to take on No. 1 qualifier Joe Baker in round two, scheduled for some time after
12:00 p.m. Sunday.
