"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

David,

Maybe if everyone knew how many motors you had to rebuild or replace since you built the car as well as transmissions, coil packs, fuel injection issues, etc they would have a different opinion. Maybe not, but what is the difference between your car and a fast older Camaro, Chevelle or Mustang? They all take a lot of money, sweat and hard work to make them run fast. To the guys that think the DP's are bogus, not real and way too soft on the hp I can say most of that is B.S. I built my Drag Pak myself (other than the chassis and transmission) and I have worked all year on the car trying to be competitive. My car ran 10.55 first time out, and it took 3 races to get into the 10.40's so they are not automatically fast or way too soft. They take work and the right combination. I finally ran a 10.06 before the last hit on the 6.1's so I'm still not close to the fastest Drag Paks but I'll keep working and figure it out. David did most of the work on his car also and it wasn't the fastest car right out of the box but he has it working now and how can you knock a guy for that? He didn't "write a check" and have someone else do the work, he did it like most other guys who run stock. Enough with the bashing already, we are all racers and car guys!
