Ed, don't recall ever seeing them use one up there. Of course the heat didn't show up until this week...go figure. If only logistics would allow this event to be in late Sept or Oct. you'd def see some hard braking at the 1k marker lol.

Jack, I believe that the qualifing sheet posted on DRC will be revised.

It has been revised .......and that DimeRocket CF/S PT Cruiser Turbo was bounced for a fuel infraction ...

Also -Bob Don - known as "Low Buck Bob" - will be a little lower buck as he put a rod through his oil pan .......ouch ! !

Jack please tell Tony Fillipone I said good luck. Maybe a pic or two of his car. Never seen the engine bay or interior on his car. It is a fine piece. Ed

That PT may represent the last" truly legitimate" Mopar stocker.
No lexan windowed, gutted shell race car with bogus motors.

Kind of refreshing to see that car.
I guess if the PT Cruiser were still being made, Lord only knows what
sort of "Drag Pak" bundle they would have come up with.
Maybe a V-10, Two speed auto, 4 - wheel line lock, rear wheel conversion.
Someone would do it up with rat rod satin paint with Moon discs and flames.
Probably a B car The V-10 would be rated 275 hp due to "restrictive" exhaust
manifolds. Yeah, that's the ticket.

It's pretty amazing that the car counts at Epping and Hebron and Sonoma are greater than the National at Denver. Makes you wonder about how you are treated at a National NHRA event. I'll be in Jackson, SC tomorrow and how to have at least as many cars to watch in S/SS as they have in Denver. Got to take a cooler of Gatorade and Water.
