NEW COMP ELIMINATOR PRO MOD COMING

Missoula, Montana Pro Mod racer Lee Frank, who is a veteran West Coast Pro Mod/Pro Stock racer, has completed work on his trick new '41 Willys. He made initial shake down runs on the car at the ACDelco U.S. Open of Drag Racing at Cordova after it came out of Darren Mayer's shop where the chassis was updated. Now it is going back to Mayer's shop to get a new Darren Mayer/Alan Johnson engine and will then run at NHRA events in the West in Comp Eliminator.

"We're going to race in NHRA Comp Eliminator the rest of this year and hope that next year and then run the NHRA/AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod series next year," said Frank. [5-12-2003]
