LENCO TO SPONSOR IHRA TOP DRAGSTER SHOOTOUT
IHRA Vice President Sales/Marketing Aaron Polburn has announced Lenco
Equipment will sponsor a Top Dragster shootout in 2001. The Lenco Top
Dragster Shootout will be contested at all IHRA National Events during
the traditional "Night of Fire; the quickest eight cars will race heads
up on a pro tree with no breakouts.
The Lenco Top Dragster Shootout winner receives $1,000 and the runner-up
$500. Racers reaching the semi-finals receive $250.
SPY ILLUSTRATION
Here is the first look at the CARQUEST Top Fuel car to
be driven by 2000 IHRA Top Fuel Champ Paul Romine. Romine will start
the season with a pair of cars, one built by Indianapolis car builder
Mike Spitzer and one built by the mayor of Otterbien, Indiana, Murf
McKinney. Romine has moved his entire operation to the Cherryville,
N.C. shops of racing partner Doug Herbert.
HERE'S THE SCOOP!
 Pro
Stock car builder Rick Jones has designed a new scoop for his Pro Stock
cars that also could be used by any racer who needs a scoop. According
to Jones, thorough wind tunnel testing indicates this has a much lower
CED (co-efficient of drag) than anything else he has ever tested. RJ
has these RJF1 scoops on the shelf. Check RJ's ad in this issue for
price.
WENEY GETTING NOSTALGIC?
Agent 1320 hears that IHRA Alky Funny Champ Scott Weney found "TV" Tommy
Ivo's last Fuel Coupe body (a '78 Plymouth Arrow). Supposedly Weney
is going to mount the body on a late model chassis with a Hemi.
