Pro Mod Legend Cannon Named To IHRA Hall

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Scotty Cannon is one of the most colorful and successful drivers ever to race in the International Hot Rod Association. Cannon took a foray into NHRA Funny Car competition, but returned to the IHRA Pro Mod ranks in 2004. “I’d say it was the 1941 Willys (Top Sportsman),” Cannon said. “The most outrageous car I ever had was when I took a Funny Car body cut it up. The rules said you couldn’t run a Funny Car body, a one-piece, flip up body. He turned over the Pro Mod cockpit to his son Scott Cannon Jr. in 2005. In 2010, Cannon was named by Competition Plus magazine as the top Pro Modified driver of all-time. Cannon won four straight IHRA Pro Mod titles from 1991-94 and his fifth came in 1996.
