Another one bites the dust: McAttack team quitting?

The Columbus, Ohio-based McAttack is the latest Nostalgia Funny Car team in the Midwest who have quit or drastically cut back their racing schedule. The team, with driver Mike McIntire Jr. between the pipes, set the Nostalgia Funny Car ET record this year at the Bakersfield March Meet at 5.52.

 

The team is now for sale on Racing Junk. The Agent hears that one possible reason for the McAttack team sale was that Nostalgia Funny Car teams and owners are hearing from IHRA sources that the S50,000 purse per race series isn't just taking a year off but are not coming back next year either.

 

And, just a reminder that the DRO AA/FC Challenge is back this year, starting May 19-20 at San Antonio.  (Tim Marshall photo) [05/10/17]
