Great run for a continuously underfunded family operation. I am DONE with Pro Stock. Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Sounds like they will still be involved possibly on a limited schedule with possibly a younger driver 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I think he only has a few round wins this year and I'm not sure he's made it out of the second round yet. I wish he and his dad the best, they toughed it out for years and you have to respect them for it.

Allen hinted on a podcast that they may keep the engine shop open. Nautilus Racing- We use Superformance gaskets and Turbo Action converters/products.
