DUNN, PULDE STILL GOT IT
ESPN commentator Mike Dunn took off the tie, got his firesuit
out of mothballs and made some laps in one of Don Schumacher's
Fuel Floppers at Las Vegas, joining part-time driver Dale
Pulde. Both Dunn and Pulde showed they are still skilled
shoes.
It must be especially hard for Dunn who has made no secret
of the fact he would like to get away from the microphone
and back in a racecar. (Ron Lewis

MSD IS IN THE CHIPS
MSD Ignition, El Paso, Texas, has acquired Superchips
Incorporated of Sanford, Florida. Superchips Inc. is the
leading manufacturer of performance programmers, modules
and chips for late model production based cars and trucks,
which creates an ideal fit with MSD's dominant position
in the ignition performance and racing aftermarket. The
two performance companies will complement each other's
technology base and advance their capabilities in performance
electronic controls and components.
"The acquisition of Superchips will accelerate MSD's
plans to enhance its product line and provide access to
technology outside our current capabilities," MSD
Ignition's CEO Dan Gresham stated. "This is not a
complicated acquisition. Superchips has capabilities that
will accelerate MSD's growth and MSD offers strengths to
augment Superchips. It's a win-win situation." [1-31-2005]
