Baynes Motorsports has been at the top of the snowmobile drag racing and speed run worlds for quite a while , holding multiple records across different race surfaces , classes and race disciplines . What you ’ re seeing here is the Baynes Motorsports Grass Drag Pro Mod , one of the most winning sleds in the class ’ history .
Ably throttled by veteran driver Dana Bungert ( who is also the “ World ’ s Fastest Female ” on a different sled with a 180.65 MPH speed run world record ), this beast ran a mind-blowing , record-crushing grass drag pass with a 3.991-second elapsed time in 500 feet , reaching 122.29 MPH at the 2024 Chi-Town Showdown at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove , Wisconsin .
Not only was this the first-ever sub 4-second Pro Mod pass on the grass , it was also the first time a Pro Mod sled had ever
been recorded reaching the 60-foot mark in less than one second , with a neck-snapping . 987-second time . That ’ ll push your eyeballs back in your skull when you smash the throttle ! Drag racing junkies out there know that a sub 1-second 60-foot time is rare , regardless of vehicle or racing surface .
While sled builders are secretive about their numbers , insiders say a new , state-of-the-art Pro Mod can range between $ 75,000 and $ 100,000 . And the horsepower output ? Top engine builders don ’ t want to give up that info on principal , but in Pro Mod confidentiality is even more important due to the weight penalty rules , but it would be fair to guess that this fire-breathing monster tops 400 ponies .
While Pro Mod drag sleds aren ’ t for novice racers or the faint of heart , they are still relatable to the average snowmobile drag racing fan based on the wide variety of engine options in the class . They ’ re loud , fast , good looking and put on a great show regardless of racing surface . Get out to a drag race or speed run event and check them out for yourself !
