Although the announcement that Rahn Tobler would take over the tuning chores for Morgan Lucas came a while back, Tobler stopped us cold Friday morning when he said, “This is my first day!

Actually, the first time I saw the car was yesterday. The team brought the car directly to Las Vegas from the Houston race, so when I went to the shop in Indy only a few of the guys were there.”

Although the announcement that Rahn Tobler would take over the tuning chores for Morgan Lucas came a while back, Tobler stopped us cold Friday morning when he said, “This is my first day!

Actually, the first time I saw the car was yesterday. The team brought the car directly to Las Vegas from the Houston race, so when I went to the shop in Indy only a few of the guys were there.”

Tobler confirmed that the combination being utilized in the Lucas Oil dragster is completely different from what he ran in Doug Kalitta’s car for the last tow years, “but they’ve asked me to work with what they’ve got, and I’m happy to do that.” Tobler was also quick to praise the efforts of Lance Larsen, who he said has done an excellent job with the car to this point. “I feel there’s
room for improvement in the clutch area, but it’s going o be a slow process. It won’t happen overnight.”

Tobler apparently has some very good job offers before accepting the position with Lucas, and also confirmed for Torco's Competitionplus.com that he’ll be moving to Indianapolis within the next few weeks to be closer to the team’s race shop.
