It’s a little more than a month after the start of the 2007 AMS Pro Mod Challenge series and Troy Coughlin is finally set to debut his turbo-charged JEGS.com Pontiac GTO Pro Mod. It’s not the ideal starting point for the decorated 42-year-old veteran racer, but things don’t always go as planned in the unpredictable world of professional drag racing.
Instead of entering this weekend’s JEGS.com Cajun SPORTSnationals at No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, La., near Baton Rouge, with two races under his belt, like the rest of his Pro Mod peers, Coughlin is showing up at his family business’ first premier race of the year with a completed untested hot rod.
