NITROFISH AND DRO JOIN FORCES; BLATANT PROMO TO FOLLOW

The Agent knows that everyone else knows about Ford Pro Stock racer Scott Geoffrion's new Escort is going to debut at Las Vegas and, in case you haven't seen the new paint scheme, here it is.

Here is a tidbit you didn't know, though. NitroFish is going to become the official apparel of DRO and Agent 1320. Be looking for some really cool stuff soon with both the Agent's logo and the NitroFish. The Agent couldn't be happier to be hooked up with Bob Fisher's NitroFish people. If there was ever a t-shirt that came with a "different perspective" it is the NitroFish.

P.S. In case you haven't noticed, we also convinced them to sponsor our resident beat poet, drag racing historian and general curmudgeon Chris Martin's column so we should be able to keep him in ink and angst for the foreseeable future. [3-29-2003]

A NEW BODY FOR DICK MASKIN

The Agent hears that Dick Maskin's Chevy Cavalier Pro Stocker will show up at Houston with the 2003 body panels that Kurt Johnson had and dominated the Gainesville Pro Stock race with. The work is being done at Jerry Bickel's Troy, Missouri Pro Stock plant. [3-29-2003]

LAMPUS COMING BACK TO IHRA?

The Agent heard a pretty strong rumor that former IHRA Top Fuel World Champ Don Lampus is trying to put a deal together to get back to competition with drag racing's junior circuit. [3-29-2003]
