Mark Nielsen s new Pro Modified may not be ready for the PMRA opener in May, but when it s finished, the car will be a top contender.
“We re getting there,” said Nielsen, who will drive the new 1968 Chevrolet Camaro-bodied car. “We should be ready for the second race at Cayuga (Toronto Motorsports Park).”
Nielsen said he is looking forward to the new car. G-Force Race Cars in western New York was commissioned to build the car, which is sporting a Cynergy Composites body from Pro Modified ace Murray Anderson and Scott Jahren paint.
The new car is based on a 1968 Camaro, but as a Yenko edition. These were semi-custom GM cars built by Don Yenko and the cars were some of the fastest and most famous muscle cars of the 1960s.
“This car will be as close to a Yenko as possible,” explained Nielsen. “It will have the original-type emblems, stripes and colors.”
