You also forgot a chassis certification - which we got

I am not sure what they require on the older cars - it should be the same

I hope the 9.99 rules are applied universally and even handedly

As stock eliminator cars get faster - safety is a concern

It seems like things are getting in line through all classes now. It wasn`t long ago the a driver in a low eight second Super Stocker only needed the license,chassis cert,a jacket and helmet. No gloves,neck collar,arm restraints or fire pants. I never could figure that one out. Now you need single layer fire pants in a 12 second Stocker,but not a 10 second bracket car. Can`t figure out that one either.

We want it (Mopar), Ford wants it, NHRA ain't opposed to it, they just need input from the racers. The we would be gone for the most part, then you guys especially you Bowtie folks could worry about something else, like getting GM involved in the car wars. SS in the 7's, Stock in the 8's, after all, this is 2011. Then we can get back to the unfair stuff that was there before we took all the attention, the heads that the Fords got, the heads the Chevy got, no heads for the Mopar. What is that about? I bet yall thought I forgot about those things.

Thank you Mr. Teuton...very well said. "Bout time Mopar got some of the "gimmee". Hope you put that new DP in the eights first and silence the Blue Oval crew too. All the Mopar world is pullin' for you and your family.

I won't bet against it but the triple zero car he has is not his - it is a corporate car

Since we have had our hands on one - I am not so sure it will be an easy task to get it into the eights either

His #001 is going into storage - I think he intends to race the Doc's car #003 and when he does it will be faster and nicer than triple zero

I would say we are not as interested in being the first in the "eights" as we are being the first to win a race with one

Kevin may do it this weekend at the IHRA race


Thanks
