DRO ADDS SS, S AND COMP COLUMNIST

Drag Racing Online has managed to con yet another member of the ex-editor club into working for us. We're happy to announce that veteran scrivener Wayne Scraba has joined the DRO band of malcontents, miscreants, and maladjusted columnists. He becomes the third Canadian-born contributor at DRO, joining Ian Tocher and Scott Walker. Evidently, the only magazine copy editors that can interpret "Canadian" work at DRO. Anyway, the former NHRA tech writer and class racer is going to be writing a column on Stock, Super Stock and Comp. You can email Wayne with news, gripes and comments about those classes at wayne@racingnetsource.com. Get those cards and letters headed this way.

McKinney car recently from Murf's Otterbein, Indiana shop. Payne told the Agent that he wouldn't be driving a Pro Mod next year, despite rumors to the contrary.

Speaking of hard racers, the Agent hears that NHRA A/FC World Champ Frank "the Punisher" Manzo has been telling people that he is going to run his car hard this year. Does that mean he's been dogging it the last couple of years? If that's the case there are going to be some long days for the rest of the Alky funny car racers in 2004! [12-15-2003]
