Re: Mopar Announces Initiatives to Support NHRA Racers in 20
I can only imagine that it's a business decision made by Mopar. "Let's see, we can support (read: promote, market) 50 year old cars, or we can support (again, promote, market) what we make now."
I really doubt they're out to get the racers that run older cars. I can only guess that they will reach a LOT more potential buyers (and form their buying habits until they get old) by using the latter strategy. I'm an "old Mopar" guy, and I wouldn't expect the factory to support older stuff unless they had a lot of money to burn. A bit off topic, but, I think the NHRA can't wait until the "old" cars and racers are out of their hair! But by then, the Drag Packs will be old too. Then what? |

Re: Mopar Announces Initiatives to Support NHRA Racers in 20
Yes I am, ought to have my head examined at my age but I have always wanted to "step up" to race with what I think are a great group of sportsman racers. I bought most of my junk a long time ago when it was offered by the factory. The new cars are great, I do own an SRT and love it but I want to race my Duster, what I grew up with, SOME real help from the factory would be nice to continue my "hobby". We are supporting them, return the favor.

Re: Mopar Announces Initiatives to Support NHRA Racers in 20
Be glad they are supporting anything a sportsman does. Did you forget a drag pack won a national championship recently?
They support what they sell today. Do you go to work for free everyday? |

John--- Not sure if you remember me or not, but I talked to you at the Maple Grove Mopar Show a couple years ago. I'm building a Coronet for EA. I'll pass on to you, what Dale Aldo told me at the Maple Grove national event. I had asked about Hemi head castings, since a trip to my local dealer that week netted me another "NS1" response (national backorder, for those who don't know the Mopar system). He then started talking about AH heads, and I told him that didn't apply to me, since I was building a Street Hemi combo. He told me that if I wanted anyone to pay attention to me, I had to build an AH or Drag Pak car. Anything else, he said, was a waste of time. (In that exact verbiage!) |
