| Mike Ashley's Gotham City Racing team has a new flagship for 2004, and her name is Eleanor. Based on the car made famous in the “Gone in 60 Seconds” film, the '67 Shelby GT500E Pro Mod machine will be propelled down track by a supercharged Hemi combination. Anticipating some great results with the new hot rod, Ashley's Mustang is referred to as “Gone in 6.0 Seconds.” |
 |
| Astoria, New York's Steve Cossis has been a player in the NHRA and IHRA Pro Mod ranks for a number of years, and for 2004 he'll be upping the ante, entering the fray behind the wheel of a new Mauney Race Cars-built '41 Willys. Power will be provided by a proven nitrous-injected 738-inch Fulton engine. |
 |
| Here's another new Pro Mod warrior, this one built by Tim McAmis for Tim Wallace and the Neighborhood Bully racing team out of Meridian, Idaho. The '67 Camaro gets its motivation from a 710-inch nitrous combination from the shop of Gene Fulton and will see duty in West Coast Pro Mods, NHRA and IHRA competition. |
 |
| Butch Moore, of Birmingham, Alabama, owns this slick new 2000 Chevrolet Camaro. The Jerry Haas chassis sports a Buck Racing Engines 572-cubic-inch powerplant, which Moore hopes will propel him into the ranks of NHRA and IHRA Top Sportsman once the 2004 season starts. |
 |
| This 2004 Chevrolet cavalier will be campaigned by Chick Ross, of Milford, New Hampshire in NHRA Super Gas and IHRA Super Rod/Top Sportsman competition this season. The chassis was built by RJ Race Cars and power will be provided by a Reher-Morrison Super Series 572 combination. |
 |
| Another beautiful Top Sportsman entry for the up-coming season is the 2004 Cavalier of Cory Glidewell from Corinth, MS. With a Chassis from Rick Jones and a 598-inch bullet from Wilkerson Racing Engine, this new family-owned hot rod will hit both the NHRA and IHRA tours in 2004. |
 |
| Here's another Cavalier, this time a 2001 version, built for GT/AA and BA competition at NHRA and NSCA events this coming season. Owned by Fairborn, Ohio's Dick Butler, the Mike Pustelny chassis features engine work by Truppi/King Performance |
 |
| The Guest & Rinehart team has been together for eleven years, and previously raced in Super Pro, Super Gas and Stock. The team is looking forward to going into the 2004 season with a brand new '69 Camaro for the Super Stock wars. The chassis and engine were built at Rinehart's Performance in Thomasville, PA, and the car will see action in NHRA Division 1 competition. |
 |
| Jim Wiens, of Nixa, MO, is the proud owner of this '69 Camaro Z28. Built for the NHRA's Comp AA/AT class, the chassis and engine are both the products of Jim Wiens Race Cars. The car has run some low 6.80s during testing, so it looks like one to watch out for. |
 |
| Here's a great-looking 2003 Z06 Corvette, built by J. Lee Didier of Fort Smith, Arkansas. The car features a Jerry Bickel chassis and a Reher-Morrison 572-inch powerplant. Didier plans to run NHRA Top Sportsman as well as bracket race in 2004. Didier also owns Ron Krisher's 2000 Pro Stock Firebird, which he also races. |
 |
| Here's another Mustang, this one a 2003 model, owned by Kurt Hintz, of Odessa, Texas. The big block Ford under the hood is cradled in a chassis by Smith Racecraft. Plans call for the trick pony to see action in both NHRA and IHRA Top Sportsman competition in 2004. |
