No I thank you Wes, Glenn, Earl (Real), Adam, and Jason for bringing your cars out here to this.

I have to correct myself on one thing though, Only since NHRA finally (after 13yrs), gave me a horsepower factor away from those Turbo Mopars (except for last year at Indy...glad I wasn't there, cos there's no way I could've run with that awesomely quick PT Cruiser), thus allowing me to now be only about .25 quicker at 'Vegas (under the best conditions), than my new index of 15.99...my former (pre enhanced) index was 16.30 there, so gone are the days of my being .5 under at any altitude indexes (I'll be looking forward to seeing what Bandimere's index would be for DF/S), and compare it to what Randy Hyman's cars index was in '06, since my index was a 16.66 up there, but I was in the quicker CF/S index at that time (also pre-enhanced)! Bottom line though, is now I'm within nearly .2 tenths of no longer being competitive at NHRA altitude tracks, while I'd be better off at sea level tracks. Why does NHRA not seem to care that while they're claiming to be for us class racers, their actions (such as all of the enhancements), have done little to convince me (amongst others), that is true?

I can also report that Tucson hasn't been forgotten with regards to us stock/super stock racers, and plans are in the works for next years SIR Nitro Jam Race to definitely give us (at least) an equal race to what Salt Lake City gave us this year...STAY TUNED!!!
