How time flies and how drag racers keep working and making their cars go faster. Dad was the first to break the 8.60-zone for the hemis and now the top hemi guys are running low 8.20's. 4 tenths in 10 years...wow. I can only imagine what the next 10 years will hold.

I to have the video, it is great! But I wonder with the lack of Hemi Shootouts and what seems like a increase number of hemi's being sold, coupled with the new Hemi's becoming more popular. My question is will the Challenge of the 68 Hemi's ever come back and have any amount of cars? I mean the new CJ's are running 8.60's easy. Thoughts?
