Former Street Outlaws Racers Set to Battle for $125K at ProMod Showdown

The roar of engines and the smell of burnt rubber are about to take over this weekend as some familiar faces from the Street Outlaws world head to the IHRA’s massive $125,000-to-win ProMod race. And let’s be real — with this lineup, fans are in for one wild show.

IHRA has been stepping up big lately, hosting high-payout events that are drawing in serious talent from across the racing world. This weekend’s ProMod battle is no exception, and a good chunk of the field will be made up of former Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings racers and current Speed Promotions standouts.

We’re talking about a stacked roster: Larry Larson, Jimmy Taylor (in a brand-new ride), Disco Dean, Robin Roberts, Brad Eglian, Cali Mills, Cole Pez, Scott Taylor, and Kai Kelley. Several of them are rolling in with NPK-legal setups — Larson, Disco, Kai, and Brad — ready to prove they can mix it up with the big ProMod hitters.

And these aren’t just any cars. Jimmy Taylor is showing up with an Extreme Racing Engines ProMod Camaro packing twin turbos, already proven to run a jaw-dropping 3.61 at 221 mph. Disco Dean’s been putting his car on a serious weight-loss program after being about 100 pounds over at his last race — and even then, he still ran 3.72 in tough conditions. If the weather’s kinder this weekend, don’t be surprised if Disco dips into the 3.60s.

Kai Kelley has been flirting with the 3.60 range as well, though consistency was an issue last time out. Word is, his team’s been working hard to dial things in for a stronger showing. Cali Mills is on a tear right now, looking completely at home in her new ProMod and consistently running strong. Robin Roberts also proved he’s got the speed, snagging a No. 1 qualifying spot recently, though his last outing ended early with a first-round loss. Even Brad Eglian is showing signs of stepping it up, and with a little more speed, he could surprise people.

It’s not just the racers who are excited. The IHRA’s recent push for bigger, better, and more rewarding events has the entire racing community buzzing. Big payouts, competitive fields, and happy racers? That’s a recipe for growth — and it seems like IHRA is heading full throttle in the right direction.

This weekend’s ProMod shootout is shaping up to be an all-out horsepower war. From the veterans with proven track records to the new builds hungry for a win, there’s no shortage of storylines to watch. At Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll be keeping a close eye on every qualifying pass, every side-by-side battle, and every upset that might shake up the bracket.

One thing’s for sure — with $125,000 on the line and this much talent on the property, the fans are the real winners. Best of luck to all the racers, and let’s see who takes home the big check.
