Default Personett to Pro Mod in 2008

http://www.competitionplus.com...mid=6
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Torco's CompetitionPlus.com received a press release informing us that three time NHRA Sport Compact World Champion Brad Personett has formed a partnership with his former teammate Ed Marx to race a ’53 Nostalgia Purple ProMod Corvette in the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod series run at NHRA Powerade events in 2008. Personett is the 3-time NHRA World Champion in the Pro Rear Wheel drive class driving the Titan Motorsports Scions.



Marx is also an NHRA National Event winner and has campaigned for many years in the Alcohol Funny Car classes as well as crewing on Fuel Funny cars and Pro Stockers. Reportedly the team has several solid performance partners and is looking for a Major Sponsor.



The classic Corvette that Personett plans to drive in 2008 will be a turbocharged Hemi. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Congrats.

Nero has options...Rumor is Gary is going to drive one car in Nopi, and the other car in ADRL. I can think of a few other drivers that could fill one of those seats though.

Don't expect to see Titan at many NOPI events (other than ones within 5 miles), as the ADRL is the prime focus right now.

Brad's been working on his new program and plans to introduce a competitive turbo car into ProMod, I'm sure he'll have plenty of news coming towards the program in the new future, but with himself and Ed Marx involved it's bound to be a great program.

Seems like ProMod is where a lot of big teams are headed. Chris Anderson(AAP Motorsports-now R2B2 Motors) is also building a ProMod turbo Corvette for next season. That's 3 teams from NHRA/NDRA Sport Compact moving over to ProMod next season-Titan, Extreme RaceCars, and AAP Motorsports. All of these teams are also going turbo instead of supercharged. Man there's something in the water.

Most are going outlaw racing with 10.5s next year. Only a few are going to ProMod but it will be nice to see the Turbos get used in that class. I also heard from a few racers that they will be going outlaw next year as well, will have to wait on those names until their press releases come out.
