To say Bryan LaFlam is excited about competing at the fifth annual Drag Illustrated <\/em>World Series of Pro Mod presented by JHG and J&A Service would be an understatement. LaFlam will be battling against the best in the business in the inaugural\u00a0FTI Competition Converters<\/a>\u00a0Intercontinental Top Sportsman Championship at Bradenton Motorsports Park, slated for March 1-3, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited and blessed to be invited,\u201d said LaFlam. \u201cLooking over the list, there\u2019s going to be some stiff competition, but we\u2019re also going into it to have fun, and hopefully, we come out on the victorious end at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The Top Sportsman class, which is the perfect complement to the Pro Mod headliners, is set to deliver some of the best competition on the property, and with $50,000 up for grabs, LaFlam has been preparing.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreparation was different in the offseason because there\u2019s not much of an offseason anymore,\u201d added LaFlam, as he mentioned arriving early at BMP to test his Jerry Bickel-built 1967 supercharged Mustang.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just glad to get invited early enough before I completely tore my whole package apart. I know it\u2019s going to be a competitive field and I want to be as competitive as I can be, and having the exact same combination from finishing last year, I feel is the best bet for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

LaFlam is familiar with some of the racers on the list because of his history of racing in the PDRA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a few run-ins in the past, and they\u2019re all positive, except I ended up being on the losing end in a couple finals \u2013 three finals this past year \u2013 so I\u2019m hoping to redeem myself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Even though the Arizona native turned Mooresville, North Carolina resident has been putting a lot of thought into the inaugural\u00a0FTI Competition Converters\u00a0Intercontinental Top Sportsman Championship, LaFlam confessed that he hasn\u2019t focused much on the purse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to try not to because I don\u2019t want it to affect me,\u201d stated LaFlam. \u201cI just want to go and have fun and race within our means and our program. However, it is exciting to be able to race for a large amount of money for a single race, but I\u2019m just trying not to let the pressure get to me over that, but you know it\u2019s going to happen to everyone. I don\u2019t care what they say.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to winning the $50,000, plus taking home the bragging rights and hardware, LaFlam is looking forward to something else the WSOPM offers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to something different, like the fun and lighthearted environment I hear about,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
