Jeff Chandler Quits Pro Stock

[TheNewGuy]

The world of Pro Stock racing will not be the same anymore. Rumors are true that Jeff Chandler will no longer be running in that class. After missing the super bowl Chandler made the announcement. But this will not be the last we see of Jeff Chandler.



Chandler in addition to announcing that he is leaving Pro Stock also went on to say that he will be running in the NMCA Xtreme Street class next year. The reason he is making this move is what he calls diversity.

“Here in the south we have no RAM Racing NA Shootouts or a track like Milan that has a great monthly series for NA cars,” says Chandler. “If we did we'd probably stay put and continue to run Pro Stock.” No word on what car or set up he will be running but look for him to stay in the Ford camp. But on a side note, if anyone is looking to get into Pro Stock Chandler is putting his engine up for sale and is motivated to sell! “If there is no sale between now and Atlanta we plan on being there, but the sooner the engine is gone the sooner we can start working on next year,” said Chandler.

We will miss Jeff in Pro Stock and the class will never be the same.

Thanks,

I am sure Jeff will be in the same orange Mustang when he makes the move to Extreme Street.

Jeff is a class act, and wherever he goes he'll be stout.

Thanks for the kind words guys, means a lot.

Kim and I wanted to make this move at the end of last year but some things just didn't fall into place until recently so while the engine was out we decided to save the fuel money and get going for 2009 plus I have a potential buyer for the engine so this was the time.
As for combo, I'll let the cat out of the bag here at SLTV first, we plan on running a BB Ford in Extreme Street. Some might be saying WTH but the BBF deal looks pretty good(at least on paper). I can build a 525 and weigh 125lbs less than the BBC after the latest rule revision. We feel we can make very comparable HP with the BBF compared to the BBC and weigh in at 125lbs less, so you can see why this is such an attractive package for us. I can't as of now set this in stone but once we do we will finalize our plan and release a statement here.

Thanks SLTV for taking our sport to the next level.

Jeff,

Glad to hear you will be back with Ford power!
Which power adder will you be using?

Good luck

[Jeff Chandler]

Nitrous for me Mark. I have excellent support from NOS.

[Mark Keiser]

Jeff,

I think I met you and Scott at a race in St Louis back when you still had the Chevelle.

Is there any chance we will see you in NMRA's Super Street Outlaw class?

Take care,

[Jeff Chandler]

Not likely Mark, NMCA is home for me, what effort and time I have for racing belongs to the NMCA, I have so many good friends there.
