Team
Jegs racers Jeg Coughlin and Troy Coughlin hosted Top Fuel racers Cory
McClenathan and J.R. Todd Monday at their annual Jegs outing at the
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
The four drag racing stars
and several of their friends, family, and media members spent the day
learning how to drive the school's high-performance Acura TSX A-Spec
sport sedans. Retired Formula One driver and MOSCC instructor Tommy
Byrne gave the group plenty of classroom instruction before turning the
drivers loose on the famous 15-turn, 2.4-mile road circuit.
"We
have a lot of things we do each year with our various sponsors, but
nothing compares to Jegs Day at Mid-Ohio," said McClenathan, a Team
Jegs racer who put his Fram dragster in the winner's circle of the last
NHRA POWERade event in Las Vegas. "It's something I look forward to
even though, once again, I'm flat worn out. I'm aching in places I
didn't even know could ache."
