That is him! Thanks Jimmy. John always had so much fun when he was at the track! He had a wood and canvas army cot and would literally unpack it and sleep next to his car on it! Here is a link to a race he was at,

Yup, I had a 2004 SRT4 and finally sold it last year. My best was 12.82 @ 108 in AF/S. The car weighed 3048 with me in it. Not much done to it. Opened up the exhaust (biggest improvement) slick (short M/T) . The 2004 was the best choice as it had the best differential of the 3 years of production and the biggest injectors. Stock cam, never had the valve covers off. Had the stock OEM Turbo clutch, Sachs made them for MoPar. Had a short shifter and poly bushings. Changed factory tranny/diff oil to Mobil one "high mileage" 40wt. motor oil. Rated at 230hp but dynoed way more than that! That's about it. It was a little rocket and got 33 mpg on the highway! Jim
