I doubt if "BIG" ever planned to campaign his DP. I think Mopar wanted some exposure to bring out the new car. Maybe I'll call and see if he wants me to come get it out of his way.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

He seemed pretty excited about the car and racing it when I talked to him last summer at the Mopar Nationals, but maybe he was just tired of signing autographs and found talking about Drag Paks more fun than that.....or at least he thought it would more fun before he talked to me.... I have lots of questions and I am not afraid to ask them.

Regardless he was pretty proud of the dyno Hp and Torque numbers on his engine and we talked a lot about chassis etc., as well as the engine.

Anyway, he is a pretty busy guy, however since it is close, maybe we will see him in Gainesville.

I certainly hope so...

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Although his plans may have changed, I do know that since Indy his car has seen major upgrades and improvments in certain areas, some were shared with me in confidence so I cant say.....

I dont understand why he would do these things if it was just to get Parked.

I also, just quite accidently, saw something I dont think I was supposed to...but it has me wondering, it was his and it was for his DP car.....a very very interesting piece for certain. (It also had his name on it and when I asked , the pretty obvious it was "nervously" confirmed, and my statment was yeah, theyre pretty much like ours, only to be asked........are they like x and y.....my answer was ? I dono, I never had it outta the box.....didnt need to :) And thats the truth, it turns out its different, same manufacturer different spec.

But well see.....

I dont think "Big Daddy" is a guy who buys stuff to throw away money, and I DO know he paid for certain items this go around......why pay if you aint gonna play....at least once more.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Hi Chris will you be coming down to Gainesville to play this weekend?

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Im thinking we may stop down on Friday, and meet some of the CR people in person, I think were just going to take it slow and test slow and very very thorough on Saturday at SGMP.

But Im thinking Friday well haul down to Gainesville and Cert the cage and turn in all our liscence paperwork, and maybe tech through for a Grade point......

But Saturday will be her first full outing.

Then Back for Atlanta after I go home and spend a few days with the munchkins.

I, and the old man are dying to meet some of you guys who have been so supportive and helpful. Were gonna shoot for it....

Itll be the only time anyone gets to see the car "Naked" anyway, its getting wrapped Monday !

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Good! Maybe we all can hit Leonardo's Friday night and have some great pizza and a rap session! See you Friday Chris and Artie! Jim

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Sounds like a plan. I just booked a room for the weekend. The L Q trailer isn't really the hot setup when the temps are freezing

SAVE your money for a chassis certification ... Stockers do not have to be certified. Save the $150.00 unless you just want to waste money... Irv

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Even for 9.99 and faster ? What you said was what I thought as well, but......

I may have gotten some bad info then. (But Id be suprised from the source, our driver and you know who that is) There must be a confused cold medicine mixup on my part.

Hmmmmmmmm....Ill look into it, Ill take your word as well, since youre running that fast. In a stocker......

What about running at non NHRA sanctioned tracks that do require a valid sanctioning body cert for faster than 9.99 or whatever their break is....? (Like we came across with other cars)

Out of Curiousity do SS cars require cert ?

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Yes.SS cars have to be certified at 9.99 but not stockers at NHRA events.( according to Bruce B ). If you want to run others you may need certification...
