DP #1 V10 SS Challenger...?

[Jared Jordan]

Hey Ron! When did you have Mopars?! Lol.

I realize I'm still wet behind the ears next to some of you old coots but I remember a Chevelle and Camaro. Did they build those with Hemi's and 6-packs? That'd explain why they both ran good.

Just kidding about the old coot thing. Well, for most of you guys that is...

Well actually before I went into the Arrny (Vietnam era) I was Mr MOPAR amongst my friends in Indianapolis.

1960 318 Fury convertible, 1962 2dr post 361, 1963 2dr post 383, 1965 Sport Fury 426, 1966 273 Barracuda - put a '62 dodge rear end in the 'Cuda with 4.88 (little know fact - same width) with tiny 6.95 blue streak rear tires. We beat every one in town - GTOs with 421s, 409 Chevelles, 400 442s, 426s Dodges and Plymouths you name it. OK I will admit we liked short tracks - like 1000 feet (they never caught on) All except for one '65 Chevelle with a 292 dragster engine in it. My brother got a '66 327/350 hp Chevy II which was a rocket ship (fastest factory street car ever produced in my humble opinion - only weighed 2800 lbs). Maybe that is why I switched. Anyway, after the Army, I was Chevy guy. Won the AHRA PRO GT-3 Championship in 1970 in a financed (Teachers Credit Union) 302 Camaro. Been a Chevy Guy every since. Enough Nostalgia.

I do not have any money - no savings - no property - but I can make payments - I got financing (do not ask how - see a pattern here) - so I am going to do this "old school" - roll the dice and see if I can make this work - my "swan song" so to speak - at least I can leave it to Andy.

I have more guts than most of the limp, lame newbies on here who do not want to see an old broke guy give it one more try.

It is not about wining it is about having fun - I do not make the rules I just play by them

See you soon

:-) peace

Dont you wish you had some of those cars back again !!!!!!!!

Andys Dad, I'm rooting for you, Jeff and all you DP guys. Quite a list of fine folks running them, and don't fault your racing exit strategy. Personally, I'd like to use my 401 such that my final funeral home check bounces but doubt my wife of 35 years would go along with it.

Jared Jordon; you know that "old coot" thing will get back to your grandad, right? He's liable to drop a bowling ball on your foot. LOL

This is great entertainment!

[Jeff Teuton]

This is pretty good. Now let me tell you about the 392 Blown Car for 2012. Just as soon stir up the whole damn mess. I'm getting a blower kit and put it on a truck just to sell a couple and test it this year. Maybe my blue car would look good with a 392 huffer.

Let's not push them over the edge now........lol

If it can run against the blown Ford and put it on the trailer, I am all for it. To me it's about putting the Fords and Chevies on the trailer. Nothin' else. Hell money is nice, but I make that doing my job, racin' is about competition and winning.

Okay, since you are getting a new DP V-10 car maybe we can sway you back from your wayward step into the dark side. I have 16 cars and a pile full of parts: Been collecting and racing them since my graduation present of a 1971 Challenger that my Dad financed for me in 1976. Have a mess of trucks, Daily driver is an all original 98 CC Dak R/T.
Bought a 2009 R/T Challenger to stick in the garage, and my daughter drives a 2010 That we bought her. Point is, I know almost everything of importance that is going on with the Mopar world. I've been around the sport for a long time, and haven't had much time to race all the time. I make it out to most of all the "good local" races. I don't have to post my "real" name on here: Damn, it's the internet. But I have met quite a few members from this site, and honestly, and no hard feelings, I have never met anyone from California (except Sonny Barger) that I can say I honestly liked being around. And just don't "***" sume that just because someone is new to this site, that they haven't been here before, or that he or she doesn't know what's going on. My Dad was racing NHRA long before some of you could crap solid. Just do a good job with the Challenger, we true mopar people expect it. See you at the Sportsman Nats. And I could buy a DP car, I am sure easily, since my entire family are cusomers of a Dodge dealer close by. My point is, they are not "stock" production cars. I guess I'm just an old school purest. Peace. Hell, I'm thinking a 63 Dart Gt...That would piss the gazillion dollar car owners off, to be put on the trailer by that.
