Click images to enlarge

While on a visit to the John Force shops in Southern California the Agent saw the block and heads shown in these photos and casually asked if these were the prototypes for the Ford engine that John Force Racing is developing for Ford Motor Company. The tour guide answered in the affirmative so the Agent snapped a few images with his trusty, small, spy camera. During a Q&A today Force repeated the claim that he plans to have the first working version of the new engine ready by June. [01/30/07]

WHAT’S THE WORD?

With just a little more than a month and a half until the burnout at the IHRA national event opener at San Antonio, TX there is still no “official” word from the sanctioning body concerning the return of its alky Funny Car class.

Despite the rumor that one of Evan Knoll’s brands would back the class nothing official has been released although Mr. Knoll has posted on some boards that essentially the would return. IHRA Alky Funny Car racers are starting to get twitchy as they still don’t know whether to book flights, or rooms for the San Antonio event scheduled for March 23-25. [01/30/07]
