MICETICH’S 4.10 DRAGSTER
We had a mention of Bruce Micetich’s dragster in yesterday’s item about DRO’s Jok Nicholson. Loyal reader Al Booten sent along a photo of Micetich’s dragster and the
correction that he is from Knoxville, Iowa, the sprint car capital of the world. The town can now claim the quickest full time bracket car the Agent has ever heard of. [7-6-2006]
WANT TO BUY AN INTEREST IN THE IHRA?
The Agent was perusing his tattered copy of the National Speed Sport News when he came across an ad offering a minority interest in the International Hot Rod Association for sale for a mere 2,000,000 bucks. A little investigative work revealed some very interesting facts about what a buyer will and won’t get should they purchase the share, including two seats on the IHRA board of directors. See News and Analysis for the complete story. [7-6-2006]
ANDREACCHI GETS A BELT AND BLADES
Sam Andreacchi, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, will be the latest nitrous racer to make the switch from bottled horsepower to belt-driven horsepower.
With the help of Dominic Calbria, owner of Paul Wolf Electric, Andreacchi has made the move to an Al Billes-built BAE Hemi.
The team plans to campaign the 1969 Chevrolet Nova on the PRMA and OSCA circuits for the rest of 2006 and will possibly venture to the IHRA Pro Mod class. (photo courtesy Andreacchi race team) [7-6-2006]
