Anybody know if Don Garlits is bringing the Challenger to Bradenton, FL this weekend?

Just wondering, if we will get another new car debut to follow suit with the CJ's debut. Thanks!

I certainly hope to see a Challenger competing soon but, if he does show up without some immediate changes in the Classification Guide he'll only be able to run in Comp, brackets, or as a Funny Car. As far as the NHRA Guide is concerned, the 2008 or 2009 Challenger does not exist and that would preclude it from class racing.

in a earlier post,someone said he will not compete,due to the fact n.h.r.a has not listed the car in the guide,it was to be listed within a week or so of the first post ,

I spoke with Garlits at the PRI show about running our SSSSA races, which he said he would do. He also said he thought the car could be ready sometime in March. Jim

No, Don Garlits will not be racing the Drag Pak Challenger this weekend. No Drag Pak Challengers have been made available to racers yet. Soon!
