Andreacchi revved up for 2006 PMRA season "I can’t wait to drop the hammer in the Skull Motorsports Studebaker at the PMRA events.” MAPLE, ON (April 19, 2006) – With a new Al Billes Hemi power plant, Ralph Andreacchi plans to make his mark in 2006. The Ontario driver of the Skull Motorsports 1953 Studebaker Pro Modified is confident he and his team will be in the winner’s circle this season at Pro Modified Racing Association and Ontario Street Car Association (OSCA) events. “Our new engine program includes an Al Billes bullet that ran 6.03-seconds at 236 mph last season,” stated Andreacchi. “I’m very excited to get started, we should be in good shape for this year’s PMRA season.” Ralph Andreacchi’s car is powered by an Al Billes 526-cubic inch Brad
Anderson Hemi engine, a Kobelco 14-71 K-11 Superman Supercharger, a Watermen
fuel system, linked to a Lenco three-speed transmission with a AFT Dual disc
clutch.
Jacobs to step up PMRA efforts
for 2006 “We were fortunate to run a couple of the PMRA event last year,” said Jacobs, driver of the 526-cubic inch–powered Pro Modified 1994 Chrysler Lebaron. “Our plan is to run all of the PMRA events and selected Quick-8 Outlaw events in the Northeast and try a few choice IHRA events in 2006.” The team runs out of Utica, NY. Jacobs, in the Snap-on Tools-Larry Gurdo, Gold Medal Packing, Terri Goff Web Designs, Performance Signs-sponsored entry, has been working on a new cylinder head and piston combination that should work in their benefit. "The key element to our team is my father, crew chief Fred Jacobs Sr. He is the boss and calls all of the shots,” said Jacobs, who also races an Outlaw Street Bike. “Nothing happens to this car without his approval, he’s the main deal.” The Jacobs Motorsports, www.jacobsmotorsportspro-mod.com, entry is powered by a new 526-cubic inch Keith Black Hemi, a Littlefield 1471 Supercharger, and a Enderle fuel system, all united to a Lenco three-speed transmission with a Crower clutch.
