I did not see where John had any heads-up runs. The man flat out drove the car with some pretty good lights and good dialing. Sour grapes is what I hear from you sir. |

John Calvert is a very good driver. What's that got to do with he fact that his car is seriously under-factored and you're apparently afraid to use your real name when you post? Obfuscation and paranoia is what I hear from you.

What's the factor got to do with it at all at this time? It's not like there is any bogus GM factors out there, or any other Ford or Chrysler for that matter. He's already in A/S, where else you want him to go? Will this be the first combination to ever be refactored after the first race? John did a great job and Mopar is still nowhere to be found. Ford got cars into the hands of real racers, not some worn-out fuel driver who will show the car a couple times and put it in his museum. Why should I be paranoid? I'm just giving John/Ford their due, unlike you who seems jealous that John got another win. Dennis Schumers LaGrange Park, IL 708/254-3761 NHRA #331K Good enough for ya? |

Re: Anybody know if Don Garlits is bringing the Challenger to Bradenton, FL this week
Giving big daddy a stock car to race against the nhra stock pros is like taking a bean shooter on a grizzly bear hunt. Absolutely no stock class experience, reactions of a 75 year old and the stamina of a worn out old man. Who thought this would work? Oh i forgot ,the same people that are running ma mopar into the ground. Ford put their reputation along with their factory race cars in the right peoples hands. Is that wrong? Chrysler will take their race car to safety clinics and car shows while Ford kicks everyones butt with the best drivers available. GM is in the same boat as Chrysler. "Hey, lets sit over here in the shade and talk about how good we used to do on Sundays". Ford put their money where their mouth is. The carnage has just begun.

Maybe it has something about getting money from the FED's and giving it to some old guy to go racing( in the fed's eyes) is not a good idea.only my 2 cents

Re: Anybody know if Don Garlits is bringing the Challenger to Bradenton, FL this week
Just a question here. How many of these CJ's were put into so called racers hands/teams. I believe that Mr. Hajek owns some of them and has got some racers driving for him currently. But how many CJ's are out there in racers/teams/owners hands.
Having Don Garlits at the wheel of a Mopar Stocker is a good marketing plan. He will get media attention, regardless of his racing results, and coverage at the shows he appears at. I personally would love to see all the new factory cars out there running in Stock Eliminator. NHRA has to step up to the plate with their opinion of horsepower ratings, regardless of what any of us think. It would only be proper that they gather alot of information that is becoming available with each race. Hey, Jim Wahl, get Cadillac to give you one of those XLR's or CTS / CTV's.

Ron,
I just happened to talk to one of the old "heavy hitters" from Cadillac a couple of weeks ago.He said all that was going down the tube. Looks as if the good old days are gone! Jim
