Default Pedregon/Kubo back on to the business of racing

from DRO

Frank Pedregon Racing has reached a sponsorship agreement with Skull Shine/Knoll Gas-Torco Racing Fuels for Skull Shine to be featured on the Von Dutch Dodge Stratus Funny Car for the remainder of the 2006 NHRA and IHRA schedules. The sponsorship will begin at the NHRA Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, Aug. 30-Sept. 4. (file photo by James Drew) [8-24-2006]

so, looks like the Von Dutch car will be out for the rest of the year
good luck to Frank and his crewmate Lisa Kubo

What exact roll is Lisa Kubo playing in this?
I agree on your James Lin comment. That is huge for him.

Lisa is doing the carbon Body repairs, sometimes I believe she might do some fuel mixing, but that is usually up to the driver so they have no one else to blame if it doesn't pass tech. She generally just does what ever is needed. She is learning tons on what it takes to run a fuel car, that is for sure.

Earl, Lisa messaged me and gave me a list of other things she does, and wanted me to let you know. Packs the Chutes, Drive Chase Truck, Mix Fuel, Manage the Merchandise trailer, and at the track lines the car up. When at the shop, she also works on the bottom end.
