Ed,

You and Jim were right on point, and per our last issue of National Dragster (which I'm sure you all already knew about, but no one spoke specifically of), gone are the contingency payouts for AC Delco products (spark plugs, batteries, & oil filters). I've had that last issue of dragster for 3wks, but just went thru it to see the grim listings for next year...I'm also bummed because Castrol is out, and so is A1 Torque Converters (they just got back in during the second 1/2 of '08, and now they're gone again). At this rate it won't be long before my car will be back to how it looked in the summer of '06----decal free, because without Castrol, it's only worth $100 to me for winning class anymore---again hardly worth it unless at Indy, or maybe the Jeg's races (if they post pictures of class winners like Indy does).

I don't have a hair dryer, but at this rate it may be worth my money to buy one...hopefully not made in China!
