APB: GARY TAYLOR'S CAR & TRAILER STOLEN AT LAS VEGAS
Be on the look-out for a dragster, race car trailer and contents stolen April 4th from The Strip. The rig belongs to Division 7 Super Comp racer Gary Taylor and his name was on the upper sides of the car, which is a 1998 Chip Nielson dragster, blue with yellow graphics, and a damaged nose with duct tape on it. CNE is engraved on several parts. The trailer is a white 45-foot Haulmark Edge fifth-wheel. It has living quarters in the front, dual air-conditioning units, and a satellite system. A piece of chrome corner trim is torn on the left rear corner of the trailer. It had a Utah license plate number 12630M.

Anyone with an information about the theft or current location of the trailer or race car should contact the Las Vegas police department or Gary Taylor at 801-785-8199 or 801-509-2544.

JOHNNY GRAY CREW MEMBERS INJURED IN ACCIDENT
Three crew members of Johnny Gray's Funny Car team were injured April 9 in a one-car roll-over accident in the team's Chevrolet Suburban after leaving the Las Vegas race. The team was returning to their Carlsbad, New Mexico home.

Jered Nichols, a 22-year-old engine specialist, suffered cuts and bruises but was in good condition. Robert Beresford, a 29-year-old cylinder head technician, has multiple broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a possible broken ankle, and back injuries.

Most seriously injured was Clayton Williams, the team's 22-year-old clutch technician. He received a severe blow to the head, which resulted in brain swelling, a life threatening injury.

SFX, KENNY BERNSTEIN AND IHRA
The best rumor that Agent 1320 has heard lately comes from one of our east coast operatives. According to this rumor SFX has approached the Bernstein camp and asked if Kenny might consider running the Bud King at some IHRA events in the 2002 season for a $50,000 up front fee. This sounds farfetched until you consider the amount of money SFX has to spend, the lack of talent depth at IHRA Top Fuel fields and the crowd draw that Kenny and the Bud King might have at an IHRA event. Hmmm.
