Thanks Mike for your informative update.

I spoke with Dale Aldo at MOPAR on Monday, my car is # 29 and the body has not been built yet. The plant where they are built is shut down at this time. He also assured me this is temporary so Dodge can move some iron. They will be updated every Friday on the start up of the line the following Monday. I will let you know on any updates.

so if Chrysler goes bankrupt, and Mr. Obama decides that the challenger has to go, what happens if they don't build all 50 drag pack cars? Do they become illegal?

FYI, if you ordered a Challenger from a dealer who will no longer be there, I might be able to help. Nothing is for sure now. I have delivered # 6 and #16 is mine, and is at the plant that is closed for now. More as it unfolds. The list of what dealers did not make the first cut is all over the media. I'm going to Houston to relax, race, and have a beverage or 22, not if that order.

I saw Doug Duell's Evansville Dodge is on the dealerships to be closed list. All the best to them.

Jeff Teuton: Please keep us updated on this issue.... Several racers have brought the same question as Chad Rhodes to me. What if the Challenger Drag Pack Program is dead in the water? I went directly to NHRA sorces and ask the same question at St. Louis. I was told the "approval" of the Drag Pack Challenger is based on Chrysler keeping up there end of the contract of producing at least 50 cars. "If" Chrysler does not keep up their end of the deal, the "approval" will have to be re- evaluated! This could have an effect on cars already being built or being run. My guess is the cars that exist will be too valuable to race anyhow !!!
