Tough Times For NHRA's Top FuelBy Anne Proffit
They are falling like flies, it seems.
At the end of the 2008 NHRA season, it was clear some of the big players in Top Fuel were going away for next season. It’s been a simple matter of finances for many of them; perhaps a bit of mismanagement for others?

Frans Verhoeven won his first ever special stage on the Dakar. In the car category, Carlos Sainz carried off a twofold triumph, by winning the stage and also taking the lead in the general standings.

"In addition to the numerous performance and refinement improvements inside and out, the 2010 Shelby GT500 is an estimated 2 miles per gallon more fuel efficient on the highway."
"We’re proud of the many enhancements that were developed jointly by the Ford and Shelby Automobiles team last year that we’ve now incorporated into the new 2010 Shelby GT500," said Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby Automobiles.
