PDRA WELCOMES
ANDY McCOY RACE CARS
Since Pro Modified arrived on the drag
racing scene in 1990, it and a number
of related spin-off doorslammer
categories have evolved at a
tremendous rate, establishing
performance records that class
originators would have likely thought
unattainable.
Evolutionary leaps forward in the
design and production of racing
engines, be they of the supercharged,
nitrous-injected or turbocharged
persuasion, unarguably have
contributed greatly to this astounding
escalation in speed and elapsed times.
Another major factor in the overall
enhancement of the total package
certainly has to be the design of more
and more aerodynamically superior
bodies, made with the latest in modern
composite materials, lighter and
stronger than ever before.
A leader in the high-tech world of
state-of-the-art race cars, bodies and
associated components is Andy McCoy
Race Cars, of Washington,
|
|
|
|
Missouri. The company specializes in
the fabrication of high-performance
Pro Modified and Top Sportsman drag
racing components, from chassis to
competition-ready vehicles.
The organizers of the PDRA are pleased
to be associated with this
ground-breaking company for 2014, and
are proud to announce that Andy McCoy
Race Cars has put together a generous
contingency program for racers using
their products in the Pro Extreme, Pro
Boost and Top Sportsman classes.
“We are very excited to have Andy
McCoy Race Cars as part of the PDRA’s
sponsorship program for 2014,” said
Bob Harris, PDRA Race Director. “Andy
is an accomplished racer and
fabricator, and he and his team will
provide the kind of credibility that
will help us attain our long-term
goals as a top-rated racing
organization.”
McCoy is an experienced competitor as
well as a true innovator, and the
latest creation to roll out of his
composite shop underscores that point
in no uncertain terms. On the heels of
the successful introduction of the
company's 1970 Plymouth Duster comes
an amazing 1969 Chevelle, a long, low
and altogether sleek and slippery
classic Chevy, available in
fiberglass, carbon fiber and ultra-lite
versions. The top of the line offering
is a clear carbon version which has to
be seen to be believed.
“The Chevelle has really taken off,”
said McCoy. “Since we introduced the
Duster in 2007 we have sold around 12
of them. Since the debut of the
Chevelle in November of 2012 we have
already sold 20, so it has become a
really hot item. The first one we
built was a clear carbon version for
Russell Miller, and he’ll be running
it in Pro Boost with PDRA this season.
As a matter of fact, we will be
helping him as well as Terry Leggett
at the races this year.
“We’re really excited that we’ve got a
stable eighth-mile organization to
work and race with because as builders
that’s what we rely on,” said McCoy.
“If there’s no organization like the
PDRA then it makes it pretty tough to
build race cars. We’re very blessed
and grateful that Jason Scruggs and
the whole group behind PDRA have
stepped up and created such a solid
eighth-mile program. We can’t wait for
opening day!”
