Chinese, I thought you were a Mopar guy?

Keep doing what you're doing... you were an inspiration to me as a kid, and I appreciate the time you took talking to me with tips for my Turismo.

I just might go get a lawyer maybe they don't like the fact I'm Chinese.

Artie -- I've known you since the early Seventies ----------------------------- Chinese ? ? Hmmmmm...........................................I f they're picking on you for being Chinese maybe that explains all my extra HP over the years - could it be my Hungarian backround ? Merry Christmas my friend ..............

Art,
Remember, I think they are NOT shooting you in the foot with the throttle body change. PM Me the sizes of the 2 and I'll run some nunbers. I still think it will pull off the gear change better with the stock one. The big one might work better if you could get a lot more than the 4.61 final drive gear.
I say put it on and then go another 1.50 under, thumbing nose!!! :~#)

I just got an email stating it was a mistake.
For us in division two. I want to state Jim Collins is a real gentleman, and a standup guy.
I called him about the throttlebody problem and he said the rule stated I could run anything I wanted. He even called California yesterday. And squared it with them. Then he called me this morning to tell me about it. This renews some of my faith in NHRA. It brought me back to the days of Gregg X and Marty B. They were fair and used a lot of common sense.

I agree Artie! Jim has always been a stand up guy. Too bad there are so few like him. Glad they corrected the mistake. Jim
