Rocky Reports: 2011 Race Update

Its been a BUSY off season for the Pirrone and Ellershaw race team! Not only are we preparing five of our "team" cars for action on the strip, but we also we'll be helping a couple other teams for the 2011 season. Here's some photos and stories from this past Sunday..





Here's the "New" Frantic Ford Mustang being dropped off.... We will be doing a complete "look over" of the entire car... We look forward to seeing the new car go mid-sixes this year.





Here's the Frantic Ford in the shop... She will be here for two weeks, then be off to the "Oaks" car show. After that she will return and we will do the final touches getting her ready for the VMP April 9th opener.





Here's a pic of a "Gasser" project we are doing for a customer, unfortunately we're waiting for some parts to arrive on this one...I was hoping to have her GONE by now...we need the room! lol





A pic of our shop cat.. Kimba.... 





The Screamin Eagle Trans Am funny car is ready to do battle! We plan on test firing her on Wednesday night then putting her in the trailer...


 


The Big Time Memories is being readied for the 2011 season... Look for a new look on the ole girl!








 The "Soul Survivor" Nitro Comp Coupe is having a complete driveline installed...look for her "On-track" debut at this years NHRR at Bowling Green....  The Boss Hydro is getting a complete do-over, we built a complete new engine and are making changes to the chassis to try and pick up some consistency....  We are looking forward to a busy and fun 2011 season!
