Thu, 2008-07-10 17:28
Veteran Nitro Tuner Jimmy Walsh has rejoined Tuttle Motorsports and the
Vis Viva "Living Force Energy" drink Top Fuel dragster driven by Steve
Torrence. Walsh previously worked for team owner Dexter Tuttle in 2006
before accepting a position with Kenny Bernstein's Funny Car team early
in 2007.
"I'm glad to have him back," Tuttle said. "We are similar in the way we think, and we get along very well. Jimmy is just a good guy that you know will take care of your equipment. His accomplishments tuning a race car speak for themselves."
Walsh has more than 25 years of experience in NHRA drag racing. In 2006, Walsh helped Tuttle Motorsports secure three event victories and an eighth place points finish for (then driver) J.R. Todd in the NHRA championship standings. Walsh also spent 20 seasons with Joe Amato's race team prior to joining Tuttle's operation.

Walsh will work closely with Tony Shortall who has been the crew chief on the Vis Viva dragster since the beginning of the 2008 season.
"The rest of the Vis Viva team will stay the same," Tuttle said. "We are simply adding Jimmy back into the equation to work with Tony [Shortall] and the rest of the guys. Nobody is leaving or being replaced."
Walsh is also looking forward to his return to Tuttle Motorsports and tuning a Top Fuel dragster.
"It's nice to be back with Dexter," Walsh said. "He runs a great operation over here, with a crew that is more than capable of winning. I had a good experience running the Funny Car and learned some things, but 99% of my experience is with Top Fuel and that really is where my heart is. My goal is to win rounds and win races. Dexter and I were successful together before, we will see if we can do it again."
