16/05/2002 CLASSIC AMERICAN REBUILD AT ACI RACING After heavily damaging both their number one and spare motors at the SpringNationals, the team at American Car Imports Racing are busy preparing for the start of their European championship campaign at the FIA Main Event in June. Race fans will get the opportunity to see these preparations up close for themselves this weekend when the team will be in action at their sponsors race; the Classic American Nationals at Shakespeare County Raceway. "We'll arrive at the track with nothing between the frame rails, then put the entire spare motor and drive train back together 'live' before firing the car up on Sunday" explained Crew Chief Andy Bissett. "This should give the fans a rare insight into what Top Methanol teams get up to back in their workshops. We also have a new number one motor on order from the USA which will be put into service at the Main Event, whilst another spare engine will be complete in time for our tour of Scandinavia in July and August." The team are featured in tomorrow's edition of the NHRA's house paper; National Dragster in an article about their record setting runs at the UK season opening Easter Thunderball. The news item will keep American fans up to date with the British team they had the opportunity to see racing at the NHRA Winternationals back in February. At the Classic American Nationals, American Car Imports Racing will be joined by their good friend and customer George Greves in his red Ford Lightning pickup which is featured on the dragster's radical new livery. George will be attempting to improve on his excellent performances at the SpringNationals during the weekend's RWYB whilst also trying to keep Andy out of the driver's seat after foolishly offering him a drive!
