In his second year of Pro Modified drag racing, Derrick Townes, driving a 68’ Camaro with a Blown Alcohol motor, is a Pro Mod car & driver to watch out for next year in the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod series. Finishing 5th in 2009 and 3rd in 2010 for the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association, Derrick intends to do better for 2011. Sponsoring this mean, green machine is none other than Redskins’ Defensive tackle, Cornelius Griffin. At the season finale at Atco Raceway, Derrick qualified #4 with a 6.31 @ 233 MPH. The 2nd round was the best side by side run of the day; Derrick’s 6.21 @ 232 MPH defeated Tommy Gray’s 6.22 @ 238 MPH. In the semis the Green Machine was on a roll with a 6.27 @ 231 MPH against Matt Deitch who had to lift on the pass. The final round would have been Derrick versus Steve Drummond. Due to curfew restrictions the final round was not completed. Derrick Townes believed a trip to the winner circle was in his grasp with the car dialed-in for another 6.20 E.T. pass in the making. He had run a 6.21 E.T. earlier in the day and had the Pro Mod loaded to do the same for the final round.
