Beal was quoted as saying " "It's a big, big dent in my pocketbook ... It was pretty devastating. It took out a brand-new TFX block. It may be salvageable, but it took out the crank and one head. The blower, obviously, is junk, but all of the safety equipment -- the blower and valve-cover restraints--did their job, so my hat is off to Deist. The body is cracked and will need to be repaired, but I've got a spare."〔 〕 In 2009, Beal and his crew finished work on a new car that was intended to help get Welch his competitive license.〔 〕 The completion of the vehicle was celebrated with a visit to the Cajon Classics Cruise Funny Car Frenzy at El Cajon, California.〔 Chuck Beal Racing has multiple sponsors, including UnderCover Truck Bed Covers, TruXedo Tonneau Covers, ProZ, and TruXP.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Our Partners ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chuck Beal Racing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
