DECISION TO PARK GALOT PM TEAMS CAME SOMEWHAT OF A SURPRISE TO TUTTEROW
Todd Tutterow, the driving force behind the multi-car Team Galot Pro Modified operation, said team owner Earl Wells' decision to park the entire operation came somewhat as a surprise.
Tutterow confirmed the team was notified of the decision on Thursday. The decision to cease the team operations isn't expected to affect Galot's PDRA endeavors or the drag strip located outside of Durham, NC.
"They just told me they were going to scale back," Tutterow said."We originally had a three-year deal, and then we extended to the fIfth year. We added cars, and eventually did the PDRA and NHRA stuff. Then spending money on the race track, I guess they decided it was time to cut back.
"There's no hard feelings at all here."
Tutterow said his options are pretty much wide open at this point.
Tutterow confirmed speculation he's fielded an offer from Al-Anabi Racing about a possible return to the Qatar-based team.
"He's been talking to me for about the last month," Tutterow admitted. "We haven't sat down and hammered out anything in stone.
"At this point, as I have said, I am keeping my options wide open."
