Following another record-setting day of Pro Mod qualifying Friday at the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks, Jason Harris held on to his No. 1 qualifying position in his Harts Charger-boosted \u201cParty Time\u201d Harold Denton tribute \u201969 Camaro. Harris used a 3.560-second pass at 211.20 mph down the Bradenton Motorsports Park eighth-mile surface to lead the quickest 32-car field in Pro Mod history. Young gun Kyle Dvorak ended up on the bump spot with a 3.615-second pass, meaning the 32-car field is separated by just .055 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Snowbirds is the opening round of the 2025\/2026 Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service, a three-race Pro Mod championship series at Bradenton. The winner of the Snowbirds will walk away with $50,000 and the opportunity to compete for the inaugural Elite Motorsports Million, a $1,000,000 bonus for winning all three races: the Snowbirds, the U.S. Street Nationals in January 2026, and the Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod in February 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harris, a four-time PDRA world champion, ended Thursday as the provisional No. 1 qualifier with his 3.560 at 211.20 in the night session. In the third qualifying session on Friday morning, he posted a 3.617 at 209.62. His 60-foot time on the fourth qualifying pass was on pace with the 3.56, but when his \u201cParty Time\u201d \u201969 Camaro started to get out of shape, Harris wisely lifted off the throttle and coasted to a 4.066 at 133.49.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the No. 1 qualifier, Harris earned the $5,000 Jerry Bickel Race Cars No. 1 Qualifier Bonus. If he manages to qualify No. 1 at the other two Winter Series races \u2013 a feat Mark Micke pulled off in the inaugural Winter Series \u2013 he\u2019ll win a brand-new Pro Mod rolling chassis valued at more than $200,000 thanks to the Jerry Bickel Race Cars Clean Sweep Challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you can qualify No. 1 in this field right here, you\u2019ve gotta be one of the baddest guys out there, and that\u2019s kind of the way I feel like we are right now,\u201d Harris said. \u201cWe\u2019re a lower budgeted team, so it feels good to win that $5,000. I want to thank Jerry Bickel Race Cars for giving me the opportunity, and I\u2019m going to do my best to qualify No. 1 at the next two and see if I can get it. It would probably be the biggest highlight of my career to win. I\u2019ve got a Bickel car right now, and to win something like that, it would just be life-changing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris ended up drawing Micke in the random chip draw to determine first-round pairings. The newly crowned No. 1 qualifier will face off with the driver who qualified No. 1 at all three Winter Series races last winter to kick off the series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m kind of bad at chip drawing, so I knew I was going to draw somebody who was going to be tough,\u201d said Harris, who thanked his team, which includes his father, Bob, and tuner Brandon Stroud. \u201cBut No. 1 to 32 is all tough, and nobody wants me, but I don\u2019t want anybody else. That\u2019s just the way it goes because tomorrow\u2019s another day and anything can happen in drag racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Jimmy Taylor, who made headlines before the Winter Series with his doorslammer world record passes behind the wheel of his twin-turbocharged Xtreme Racing Engines \u201969 Camaro, qualified No. 2 with a 3.567 at 223.36 in the third session. He went into Friday not qualified after a battery switch and a broken intake spring plagued his first two qualifying attempts on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI ain\u2019t gonna lie, I didn\u2019t sleep a whole lot last night,\u201d said Taylor, who will face Robert Davis in the opening round. \u201cI was pretty tore up. We weren\u2019t even gonna make the field at that point with our luck. When we come out and run a .56, I was ecstatic. I was pretty much celebrating in the car to 330 because I knew we were on a lick and gonna make it into the field with it. This is 32 of the best guys in the world. It\u2019s definitely gonna be hard, but we\u2019re gonna give it everything we\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Ty Tutterow, the 2025 PDRA Pro Boost world champion, also made a big move on Friday to jump up to the No. 3 position. With his father, Todd \u201cKing Tut\u201d Tutterow, calling the shots on the screw-blown Quik Fuel \u201969 Camaro, Tutterow laid down a 3.572 at 208.39 in the final session. Tutterow will take on Eric Gustafson in the first round of eliminations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be in the field itself is a great task to accomplish,\u201d said Tutterow, who thanked car owner Justin Smith and the Wyo Motorsports team. \u201cand to be near the front is an honor. I\u2019m just glad to be a part of this great team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Defending Snowbirds event champion Kye Kelley, who made waves last December when he drove his steel-roof-and-quarters \u201985 Camaro to the $50,000 win against a field full of purpose-built Pro Mods, qualified No. 4. Now also driving a purpose-built Pro Mod, a screw-blown Larry Jeffers Race Cars \u201925 Camaro dubbed \u201cUncle Larry,\u201d Kelley recorded a 3.575 at 209.62.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car I had was a really great car, but coming in here with a purpose-built Pro Mod, something that\u2019s meant to do this, it\u2019s different,\u201d said Kelley, who will meet up with fellow Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings alum Scott Taylor in the first round. \u201cIt just all boils down to my tuner, Jeff Pierce. I think he\u2019s the best there is. I\u2019ve got a lot of faith in him. When I strap in that car, I know I have a tune-up that\u2019s gonna go right down the racetrack. You don\u2019t see us out there knocking the tires off and all that. He gives me an opportunity to win every time I get in the car. It makes me confident as a driver, and I go out there every time thinking I\u2019m gonna win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Gustafson, the 2020 NMCA Xtreme Pro Mod champion, rounded out the top five with a 3.576 at 210.01 in his ProCharged Coast Packing Co. \u201cLard Machine\u201d \u201969 Camaro.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Pro 10.5 also completed two more qualifying sessions on Friday, but no one topped the 3.879 at 209.69 recorded by Canadian John Carinci on Thursday night. He earned a custom baseball bat from Victus Sports to commemorate the accomplishment. Carinci in his twin-turbocharged \u201904 Corvette tuned by 2018 WSOPM champion Carl Stevens Jr. also qualified No. 1 at the WSOPM at Bradenton earlier this year. Apollo Beach, Florida-based driver Jerry Morgano also maintained his No. 2 spot with his 3.900 at 203.03 in his small-block, turbocharged \u201cCopperhead\u201d \u201902 Mustang Cobra from Thursday. Ohio\u2019s Bill Lutz fired off a 3.906 at 194.10 in his screw-blown \u201cBig Boost \u201967 Camaro to qualify third, bumping retired NFL star Fletcher Cox to fourth with a 3.907 at 190.32 in his nitrous-fed \u201cTraining Day\u201d \u201969 Camaro.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The radial classes in competition at the Snowbirds, Limited Drag Radial and Ultra Street, completed one of their two planned qualifying sessions for the day to add to Thursday\u2019s two sessions. Brett LaSala in his Bradenton-based, turbocharged \u201cSnot Rocket\u201d \u201913 Mustang held on to the No. 1 spot in Limited Drag Radial with a 3.900 at 196.85. Similarly, Pittsboro, Indiana\u2019s Terry Wilson in his \u201995 Mustang locked in the No. 1 position in Ultra Street with his 4.425 at 157.80 from Thursday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On-track activities at the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals will begin with index class qualifying at 8 a.m. Pro Mod eliminations will kick off at 10 a.m. The Jet Jam Night of Fire featuring jet Funny Cars, jet trucks, and jet dragsters, will include shows at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
