CRUZ IN, SHELLY OUT AT ESPN
Cruz Pedregon will be the color commentator on ESPN's 2001 drag racing
coverage. Pedregon replaces Shelly Anderson, who reportedly still is
hopeful of being back in a race car this season.
Pedregon, the 1992 Winston Funny Car Champion, hasn't given up on his
own racing career but believes that the TV position will be a benefit
in his pursuit of full-time sponsorship.
SWINGIN' SWEDISH PRO MOD
Sweden's Bertan Olofsson is building this radical '62 bubble top Impala
for competition on the European Pro Mod scene. The swing arm chassis
is from G-Force Race Cars and the engine is a Stawicki Racing K-B Olds
which made over 2100 horsepower.
HERE COMES 'PROJECT 4-LINK'
Starting in the February issue, DRO will bring you the real adventures
of putting together a rear engine dragster. From which chassis shop
to choose to on-track testing and everything in between, the series
of "Project 4-Link" tech articles will let you know EXACTLY what is
involved. The series will be written by DRO Bracket Editor, Jok Nicholson,
and will be updated twice a month. Look for the first installment February
8th., right here in dragracingonline.com. And look for the dragster
later in the season, coming to a track (maybe) near you.
