Rickie Jones, driver of the Elite Performance Pontiac GXP, sees only positives when assessing the 2010 season.
“The sun is shining, so we are already ahead of where we were last season,” said Rickie Jones, who finished in the top ten of NHRA Pro Stock point earners last year.
“We went to Vegas and did some testing,” said Jones. “It was cold and rainy so, it was kind of hard to tell where we were at. We still have a lot of learning to do for this season.”
Jones has switched engine builders and auto manufacturers, going from Morgan to Elite Performance, and Mopar to GM.
“We have turned out a lot of cars this season and ours was actually the last one we finished before this race,” Jones explained. “There’s a lot of excitement in kicking off our new engine program with Elite Performance and Jimmy Oliver.”
