Tisha Wilson makes it to the finals in her series for the World Series of Pro Mod

In a final-round battle between PDRA world champions Steve Furr and Tisha Wilson, Furr used a perfect reaction time and a 3.85 on a 3.84 dial-in to win the $50,000 Top Dragster prize courtesy of FTI Performance. Wilson ran a 4.344 on a 4.32 dial-in to take runner-up honors. We have been following Tisha and her brother Tony Wilson of Kannapolis and Tony Wilson racing. We are along for the ride this season with them and can't wait to see how their season unfolds. Tisha is off to a great start to her season after this weekend's World Series of Pro Mod. 
 
“It feels good to collect that big check amongst this bunch of killers, like Anthony Bertozzi and so many racers that I’ve raced with for years,” said Furr, a mult-time world champion. “I’ve never staged for fifty-grand, so for me it was once in a lifetime. I am honored to get invited to this event, and what Wes Buck and Drag Illustrated did is awesome.”
 
Furr’s road to the finals included round wins over Shannon Roberts, Robert Tehle, past WSOPM Top Dragster winner JB Strassweg, and Johnny Tolisano. 
 
“I was very fortunate to get through a couple of those rounds. My man was like .002 and dead-on zero in the semis, and somehow I managed to beat that with a stroke of luck. I would like to thank Jeremy Youker, who paid my entry fee so I would come here instead of going to the Baby Gators,” said Furr as he continued to thank Hoosier Racing Tire, VP Racing Fuels, Right Trailers, PAR Racing Engines, and American Race Cars.

Tisha Wilson had this to say on her social media page today.

Thanks for the calls, texts and messages. World Series of Pro Mod was interesting. Qualified 34 for a 32 car field…but ended up making it in the field as an alternate. I got to race for $50k against someone I’ve looked up to since I was a kid racing Jrs at Mooresville Dragway. Not bad for the first outing of the year! Thanks to everyone that helps support our whole program.

Huge THANK YOU to Jami N Trevor Wiggins for helping me dial in this new blower combo over the phone and overnighting me what I needed to make it work.

The PDRA Racing Family is one of a kind! The support that everyone shows off the track is like no other. Proud to be apart of it. Thank you Ashley Johnson for lending me some parts over the weekend.

Thanks to Drag Illustrated and Wes Buck for putting on one heck of a race.

Mom, Dad & Tony Dale - THANK YOU

Ready to get after it in a few weeks at Galot with the Greenbrier Team!
