TODD TUTTEROW UPDATE INFO

The Agent heard from several sources that Todd Tutterow's Mustang that ran the 6.35 at Bradenton did so on the same DOT rear tires that he runs at the "Big Dog" races at Piedmont and the car weighed in a 2800 lbs. Also, the Agent was informed that the engine is actually a 406 Chevy with Alan Johnson parts and was built by Brad's Automotive Machining in Calgary, Canada. Good job, eh? [2-9-2005]

TROY COUGHLIN WILL RACE TOP SPORTSMAN TOO

Agent 1320 got a call from the Coughlin camp saying that not only is Troy going to be busy racing the AMS/TLR Pro Mod circuit at NHRA national events and ADRL events, he will also slide one of the motors they have lying around the shop in Ohio so that he will have something to drive at NHRA division 3 Lucas Oil races.

PRO MODS IN THE NEWS

Former AHRA/IHRA Pro Stock racer and owner/operator of Tulsa International Raceway, Jerry Yeoman, is coming back to drag racing but this time instead of driving a Pro Stocker he has opted for a quicker and faster ride. Yeoman has ordered a '59 Corvette from Jeffer's Pro Cars. The rumor has it that the first powerplant will be one of his 815-inch IHRA Pro Stock engines but he will eventually have a supercharged engine. The Agent wishes that Yeoman would consider putting nitrous on the 815-inch mountain motor.

Frankie "Mad Man" Taylor brought his crashed '63 'Vette to Jeffer's shop to see if it could be repaired and the decision was that it couldn't, so Taylor will have Jeffers build him a new car instead. The Agent has had many calls and e-mails asking where to send donations to help the popular Pro Mod privateer. Instead of sending them to Larry Jeffers, please send the donations to Frankie Taylor at 3302 Highway 3, Dickinson, TX 77539. [2-9-2005]
