The Automotive Group and Eaton Hydraulics recently announced that
Eaton will be returning as the title sponsor of two-time International Hot Rod
Association (IHRA) Pro Modified World Champion Mike Janis for the 2007 season.
Janis will unveil his car and new paint scheme at the Eaton display at the 55th
Annual Murray’s Autorama held in Detroit, March 9-11 at Cobo Hall.

“Competitive drag racing is a great venue to highlight our
performance-related product portfolio,” said Tom Nellenbach, marketing manager
for Eaton Performance Products. “Eaton’s Aeroquip® hoses, connectors, fittings,
Detroit Locker® differentials and racing engine valves and lifters have been
helping champions like Mike Janis find the winner’s circle for decades. Mike is
a great ambassador for our company and products.”

NHRA Top Fuel team owner Dexter Tuttle is enlisting the help of drag
racing veterans Jim Head and Johnny West to assist driver J.R. Todd and the
SKULL Shine crew.

Stunned by the defection of Jimmy Walsh and Danny DeGennaro two days ago,
Tuttle said Thursday

Head will serve as an interim consultant until a
permanent crew chief replacement is secured while West has been hired to oversee
daily race-car preparations at Tuttle Motorsports. 

Head is a longtime driver/owner currently campaigning in Funny Car.
“Dexter and I have been friends for many years and I am willing to help him
through this transition period,” said Head, who is currently 10th in
Funny Car points.

IHRA announced Thursday, March 1, that Alcohol Funny Car would remain on the
2007 Nitro Jam™ schedule as a professional class. Alcohol Funny Car will run at
all 12 events and include a world championship points
chase.

“A lot of people
worked very long, hard hours to make this happen,” IHRA President Aaron Polburn
said. “Now that this is a reality, everyone can go about their business of
getting ready for San
Antonio.”

Just call him tough as nails. Less than a week ago, Roy Johnson was
fighting for his life in a Phoenix, Arizona hospital. Yesterday, he was
back at work. It was light duty. This serves as a major miracle from
God.

IHRA has extended its agreement with the recently renamed Knoll Gas Motorsports
Park at US 131 to host the Torco Racing Fuels Northern Nationals at the facility
south of Grand Rapids, Mich., through the 2011 season.

The Nitro Jam™
event has been held at the track since 2002 and this season is scheduled for
August 3 – 5. Knoll
Gas Motorsports
Park at US 131 will celebrate 45
years of operation this season.

New MUSCO lights erected to better illuminate the shutdown area are among
$140,000 in improvements that will greet IHRA sportsman racers competing this
weekend at Rockingham Dragway in a 2007 IHRA Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am
Series event.

 The Carolinas’ fastest racetrack will play host to more than
400 IHRA racers competing in seven Pro-Am categories including Top Dragster and
Top Sportsman.

 The track will open
at 11 a.m. Friday for a test-and-tune session restricted to Summit Series
drivers.  Qualifying, time trials and IHRA national record runs are scheduled
Saturday with final eliminations starting at 10 a.m.
Sunday.

Motorcycle parts retail powerhouse DRAG Specialties will return as the primary
sponsor for Chip Ellis and the G2 Buell Pro Stock Motorcycle in the 2007 NHRA
POWERade Series. DRAG Specialties will also increase their dealer hospitality
presence this season, pumping up the atmosphere around the G2 pit. "We are very
happy to be sponsoring Chip Ellis and G2 Motorsports for a second year," said
Jeff Fox, president/CEO of DRAG Specialties. "We saw great results last year and
felt it was an excellent opportunity for DRAG Specialties again in
2007."
 
"I'm very proud to represent DRAG Specialties for a second year,"
said Ellis, who finished a strong 4th in the final 2006 point standings. "I
visited their facility in Wisconsin at the end of last year and it was awesome.
I'm really looking forward to seeing all their dealers at the track all season
long."
 
"We're really glad that DRAG Specialties will be more involved at
the events," said Jackie Bryce, G2's vice president of operations. "We think
that NHRA POWERade drag racing is a great venue to bring their dealers in to
experience the excitement of Pro Stock Motorcycles, and they're really gonna
like being in the pits with the team. We also think that it's a great
opportunity to introduce DRAG Specialties to all the potential customers who
follow the NHRA."
