STUDENT DRIVER

Amber( Franklin) Denton lays down a nice, smoky burnout in the“ OG Jungle Rat”’ 69 Camaro she’ s driven to two PDRA Pro 632 world championships as she makes her Pro Modified debut during the U. S. Street Nationals presented by M & M Transmission. Before Denton raced it in Pro 632 with a Musi 632-cubic-inch engine, her father, Tommy Franklin, drove the familiar green, purple, and black machine to two of his three Pro Nitrous world championships with a Musi 959 mill between the frame rails. Denton is now set to join her father in Pro Nitrous, as the OG Jungle Rat is back in Pro Nitrous trim, complete with a Musi 974.
