By Patrick Williams May 15, 2018Jonas Aleshire saved his best for last as he secured the Pro Modified win for the Frankenstein Engine Dynamics Mid-West Pro Mod Series (MWPMS) May 12, during the Throw Down in T-Town at Osage Casino Tulsa Raceway Park. Also visiting the MWPMS winners’ circle were Oklahoma’s own DeWayne Mills in Radial vs. the World and X275 victor Kenny Hubbard.Over the course of two days, the all-eighth-mile Throw Down in T-Town attracted nearly 20,000 fans to the historic Tulsa drag strip, where they enjoyed several other drag racing and exhibition classes, too, MWPMS owner, promoter and competitor Keith Haney pointed out.“The Throw Down in T-Town is one of the highlights of the year for us and this year’s event definitely lived up to expectations. And I want to commend the staff at Tulsa Raceway Park for putting in long hours with smiling faces and positive attitudes all throughout a pretty warm weekend,” said Haney, who co-owns the Tulsa facility with fellow MWPMS racer Todd Martin.“The staff was great and so friendly with the fans, but also with the drivers. They had a fan and an ice chest at the end of the track and after every run they handed a cold water to each driver as they got out of their car. And there were spotters along the track, jumping the wall after each pass and checking for fluids or debris, just like at an NHRA national event. It was a first-class operation and I sincerely thank each and every one for their efforts.” Check out ace lensman Patrick Williams’ captures from the Throwdown in the gallery below!
