Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Exactly Michael... Why would I? Other than the economy and other conditions.... but it is that with a lot of racers.

And I certainly realize that you are not piling on..

As for me, I wish all of the best to all of the racers. Old cars or new. But time/history does repeat itself, and we are simply in another one of those cycles. But many still resist change of any kind. So be it.. But to quote a Star Trek enemy's warning, resistance is futile...

It sounds like the DP Challengers might be getting close to their "correct" HP factors when they start complaining about their factors. I suppose Barton helped out in that area. So, I guess that just leaves the CJs to bee itch about.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Almost all the new cars are in AAA,BBB,CCC, or AA. Or like the 6.1 and 6.4 are one hp away from getting in A heavy. The fords are way up there, The bowties, if and when, will run up there too, so now go back to where you were two years ago and continue. The Fords got alm heads, so do the chevys, not fair, Mopar needs new heads, people have hit combos too hard in the past, Bob Dennis has combos that don't exist, they were paper cars, or cardboard cars, copo cars (footnote to history, any dealer that ordered one of these special cars got a call from the zone office,'do you really want this car?') yall know the drill.

I think that's the off-season talking. That's not the Wertman *I* know. There's always going to be somebody faster. If everybody parked it that had someone faster than them, there'd be 12 cars racing. Class and records are great, but so is the eliminator. Drive smart, win races.

You have to admit, many CJ and DP owners told the "old car" guys to suck it up and quit whining, so it's not fair to bring up fairness now. Shrug it off, say "Well that sucks!", and go racing. (CRAZY thought, I know, but try some IHRA events...) Kick back, enjoy the off-season, and come back swinging next year. You'd miss it if you didn't! :cool:

Well Rick, if and when I finally finish school, I may consult with you about buying the car if its not gone by then. But ultimately, I have my eyes on Super Stock and Comp. I'm gonna start out in GT and work my way to SS/AM then A/SM. Went to the salvage yard the other day and didn't realize they had so many early avengers wrecked and in good condition so that maybe my starting point. The duster we have will need a major overhaul to get anywhere near being a certified Super Stocker. Lots of things need to be bought to put back on the car. floor, dash, inner fenders, mild steel cage needs to come out and lots more. I'll get there one day but school is number one right now. Good news is that I'm only a year away from two degrees( math and mechanical engineering).
