I heard that as of last month MOPAR had not even commited to pay contingencies for 2008. True or false?

lol "Getting" a new Challenger to race can only be wishful thinking for me. Even if the opportunity would be available, I don't have the time or money to 100% guarantee a full schedule commitment to IHRA, and even less to NHRA. And that doesn't even include the R&D required for a brand new combination. I'm doing well to keep my "old" Dart Sport going from year to year. But I am slowly working on another one as a replacement.

I actually started building a Challenger crate motor combo in '98. But prices of E-body parts and a few rule changes forced me out of it.

As far as the contingency program is concerned, commitments always seem late in coming. I've been to IHRA races where the list hasn't been complete yet. However, I have heard of changes within the Mopar program which concern me. But I don't know all the details and can't confirm anything, so I won't comment further.
