New Year, Same Result: Team Mopar Funny Car Drivers Dominate at
Phoenix Test Session

The Team Mopar Funny Car gang of Gary Scelzi, Ron Capps, and Jack Beckman picked up right where they left off in 2006, dominating the National Time Trials test session at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, taking three of the top four quickest elapsed times.

Capps, part of the Don Schumacher Racing trio that combined for seven NHRA POWERade Funny Car victories in 2006, posted the best elapsed time (4.678-second pass at 325.92 mph) of the three-day test session in his Brut Revolution Dodge Charger R/T. Scelzi notched the top-speed during testing with a 332.92 mph run in his Mopar/Oakley Dodge Charger R/T, which sported a new puzzle-themed paint scheme. Beckman debuted the paint scheme of new sponsor Mail Terminal Services on his Dodge Charger R/T with good results, posting an impressive Saturday pass of 4.736 at 327.43 mph. The three drivers will open the season February 8-11 at the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California.

"One word sums it up: Exciting," said Scelzi of his outing. "We're very pleased and we're very excited about going to Pomona, but we're going to stay one more day to get some of the new crew guys up to speed a little bit more, because it's going to be hectic going rounds. And the Mopar/Oakley Dodge hopes to be going a lot of rounds this year."

"This weekend was great," said Capps. "I always wanted to be on the National Dragster cover, because the quickest guys at the Phoenix test got on the cover. I don't know if they still do it, but it was always something to shoot for when I first started driving."
