You gotta remember what classes they use to run and what their respective class track distances are starting with the Mile High Nationals! lol

Garlits ran Top Fuel and Judy Lily ran in the Sportsman classes. (Did she try Pro Stock one year?)

Is that ALL you're going to tell us??? Any actual ET's or package car info?

I think there will be more released this week on the new package. Should be fun. We opened in July 68, and the cars were already made. Looking forward to racing three or four of them.

They ran low 11's. Don't know which motor was there. More than one available.

Chris DeGidio · 07-13-2008, 11:47 PM

Judy Lilly ran 11.38,Don Garlits ran 11.24.

Sorry but I was watching it live on the track's realtime web site and I guess the operator had the names crossed up. So Judy must have shut off at the 1000 as the car only ran about 106 while the other car ran 125 or so. Anyway the car that lost was .08 ahead at the 1000.

Jeff, did anybody order one from you yet?

on mopar.com it looks like there will be an 800 number to call posted sometime in august to order one

would be cool to actually buy this car for what chrysler wants to sell it and not some crazy markup dealer price

Those are the only two that are currently built. There are zero plans to build anymore at this time. If they do end up making them everham (sp?) will likely end up with them to finish off putting in the fuel cells and electrical pieces. Right now, it's simply a PR move.
