Scotty Cannon still that way over peanuts today....
In the ole Pro -Mod days He would run people out of his pits if he saw peanuts on them

Tom,

Great pictures! I appreciate you posting them all. I had a great time chatting with your Dad at the trailer.

Jason are you trying to tell me that you know more about suspensions and chassis set up then MPR. My CJ is within .25 of an inch to the good in all areas of the rule book. As per NHRA tech after winning class in NC two weeks ago.

Hey Charlie! Nice car, I like it. I don't know who MPR is and probably couldn't afford anyone's service in that matter. I hope you get someone else's money worth out of the new CJ. I bet you can click off the top end lights with the front facia by hitting the brakes just right, correct? I used a 3 in dryer vent in the front of a street car to do that same trick.. Anywho, happy racing...Good Luck and enjoy your new CJ'S.

Tommy, thanks I kind of thought that but is surprising> Did you get a chance to talk to Larry? Just wandering about Mike and Eddie.

Depending on how loose the front end is, it's probably tripping all the time. The finish line beams are pretty high. I'd be surprised if Chuck's ever *missed* the stripe with the nose. The nose is pretty short on the CJ's. It'll make a difference, but not as much as many other cars out there.

Doesn't have to be all chassis. A shorter tire combination will lower a car. Def. looks bbaaaaaad! Just glad to see a CJ that's not all white.

Thanks for the photos, Tom. Puts a bit of a brighter note on a Monday morning.
