One had to be in a cave to not hear the Alan Reinhart rumor floating around Bristol. This is strictly in the rumor stage and while no one is confirming, they aren't denying -- just smiling. Could Reinhart end up driving for Jim Head with sponsorship from a current NHRA sponsor in place? If this one pulls off, it would set a new precedent for those trasferring from the announcing deck to the drivers seat.

Ever hear the tale that a 747 jet could blow a car away with the thrust of its engines? Evidently someone did and who better to test it that our buddy Connie Kalitta with the crew of Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. Torco's CompetitionPlus.com is in the process of confirming the facts involved and should have the full story soon.

It’s the memo sent to the
manufacturers that no one in the NHRA’s heirarchy cares to discuss, but has
been passed on from the companies to the teams. The infamous and still rumored
memo was confirmed by a handful of leading Pro Stock Motorcycle teams and its
intent is aimed at limiting performances to 6.90s or slower. However, a source
close to the situation says the intent of the “memo” was not to limit
performance but to keep one combination in check.

Expect an official announcement soon, but for now a source tells us that Brandon Bernstein's Top Fuel dragster will join Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in running an Elvis Presley tribute later in the season. This will take place during the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.

This is one you can count on. Torco's CompetitionPlus.com has learned that a well-known top eight ranked Funny Car team will expand to another car which will debut in Indianapolis. From what we understand, this team is determined to win the 2007 championship at all costs and has proven that in their actions thus far. The choice of driver should make this move an immediate and positive hit amongst drag racing fans. Our rock solid source tells us to look for an Englishtown announcement. Let the speculation begin.

11:30 PM, EST, TUESDAY - An unsubstantiated rumor is floating around that suggests one team has made a
crewchief change following Chicago. We're not calling any names at this point,
but this announcement could made public as early as Wednesday. As Torco's
CompetitionPlus.com confirms the facts, the parties involved will be revealed. 

Look for Ron Krisher's Pro Stock program to make great strides beginning in Bristol. Sources have confirmed that Krisher will utlize Victor Cagnazzi engines as part of a multi-year program. Previously Krisher had used Greg Stanfield engines but reportedly parted on good terms to pursue a quicker fix to his engine problems.

Word has it that major drag racing players Evan Knoll and Ken Black could be
joining forces on a major tribute this summer. If all works as expected, this
program will involve the Hillary Will-driven Top Fuel dragster as early as
Denver.

Kenny Koretsky may soon have a teammate to his INDICOM Chevrolet Cobalt and the teammate may be no further than his household. A source close to the team tells Torco's CompetitionPlus.com that Kyle Koretsky will soon begin licensing procedures. A "Kid Chaos" maybe? Could this expansion come in conjunction with a rumored new sponsor announcement in the next 30 days?
