Bob Lang was in charge then and you could at least talk to him. Still better than this mess we have now.

And to Billy Nees, during teardown with my 360 in my 09 Challenger DP, Bruce didn't like the 1/8 " spacer that came with the car. We had all the Mopar people there and explained it was an adapter that was hand made for the 360 and there were only 3 of them made which I had one. We assembled it without the spacer beause they would not give it back. However the car picked up about 1 to 2 mph without it. I never did get it back.
Jeff! Nice to hear from you! I hope all is well!
Yes, you and Wesley did a lot of work and planning on what eventually got turned into the AHFS. We spoke about it a few times. But, NHRA didn't come up with it so they had to come up with their own plan.
Now as far as that 1 of 3 hand made spacer, hmmmmmmm.
