Jeff and Ann Carroll's Monaco Las Vegas/Hice Cellars Funny Car Team Looking For Strong Momentum in Sonoma


Sonoma -- After problem solving and changing every aspect of the fuel system, ignition system and other aspects of Jeff and Ann Carroll's Monaco Las Vegas / Hice Cellars Top Alcohol Funny Car, the team has solved their issue and more than ever are ready to get back out and compete this weekend at the 21st Annual FRAM Autolite Nationals in Sonoma.

"We discovered a clutch malfunction after our last outing that left us scratching our heads as to why the car would either shake at the hit or just not perform to it's potential in full runs down the track" said Carroll.

"We have a great relationship with Titan Clutches, and all of us together solved the problem so the car should run the way we have at all of our previous outings before Las Vegas earlier this year where we experienced an unexpected DNQ."

The 21st Annual FRAM Autolite Nationals NHRA Powerade Event in Sonoma, kicks off on Friday, July 25th with two rounds of qualifying at 1:30 and 5:00 p.m. for the Alcohol Class. Qualifying resumes on Saturday, July 26th, at 1:00 p.m. followed by first round of eliminations at 4:00 p.m. Final Eliminations begin on Sunday, 29th, 2007, at 11:00 a.m.
