No Off Season For Team YNOT

No off Season for Team YNOT

Jim Whiteley and Team YNOT have been very busy since the final event of the 2006 NHRA season at Pomona. After the announcement of Norm Grimes as the new Crew Chief for the YNOT Top Alcohol Dragster team, Norm has been working his magic on the Chip Nelson built dragster. The car was brought Norm's Sun Valley, California shop after the AAA of Southern California NHRA Finals. Norm has also been busy with the inventory of parts and tools, as well as other new engine components and ordering new engine blocks from Brad Anderson . Norm also spent time at the Performance Racing Industry show in Orlando, taking note of the new technologies available for the 2007 season.

Driver/Owner of YNOT Racing, Jim Whiteley and the rest of the team have seen no idle time getting together a new tractor trailer unit. " We have been very busy putting in new cabinets, work areas, tool boxes and work stations so that we can perform maintenance on the car between rounds. We've also installed a new awning on the trailer all as preparation to hit the road for this season." stated Whiteley from the Grand Junction, Colorado shop.

Team YNOT is scheduled to test at Phoenix, before heading to Pomona. "Norm says we're gonna run the wheels off this thing in Phoenix and I can't wait" said Whiteley. Team YNOT is also aggressively seeking marketing partners for the 2007 season and beyond. The team believes it will be an excellent platform for a company to promote their products and/or services.
The team will be attending eight national events and eight divisional events in 2007 running for a chance at the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Top Alcohol Dragster Title.

Great to hear all is on line for the team. also great you gave the chassis builder credit but his name is Chip Nielsen! not Nelson....

 

I see no mention of the Strasburg brothers, please tell me they are still involved, it would be a shame to lose them.
