Pro Mod pioneer Jim Feurer and his age-defying, nitrous-injected 1978 Mercury Zephyr aren’t finished drag racing yet.
Feurer, of Lacon, Ill., has just been booked in to match race Arnie “The Farmer” Beswick in the Fords at the Summit event, July 23 – 25, 2010.
“I match race the Zephyr several times a year,” said Feurer, who also raced the car in AHRA Pro Stock during the early 1980s.
Feurer match raced the Mercury several times in his home state during 2009, twice at Cordova Dragway Park, Byron Dragway and once at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, a suburb of Chicago.
