I agree 1000% to hear it straight from the "horses mouth" as to how they built that program and the stories that went along with them for a second generation drag racer it was like going to school on Mopar drag racing. As a testement to how important these guys were to look around and see the likes of Roy Hill and Hubert Platt sitting in the clinic was awesome. I especialy have a special affection for the Missile program since i had a chance to drive one of the Original Missile cars a few years back during the reunion weekend @ Roxboro ( see my sig pic) I videotaped the whole clinic and i'm sure i watch it millions of times..
