Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

This list is simple, hopefully it will give us a base for refrence as to who bought and who now owns what car.

Please just repost it or say who you know for certain own what car

I already know some of the spots I left blank, but I also know the people who own those cars, and know, that they know who own other and are Class Racer readers so Im hoping they will fill it out, because they know a lot more of the owners than I do and who owns what car. :) My brain is fried from days of solvent,

List who owns the car, The state the car lives in , the class planned, and the engine ordered, if its known. I keep reffering to people by number and I dont like that so hopefully I can put a name with ALL the numbers.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

# 13 is on e-bay for sale starting @ $79,000

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

They also had it on Racing Junk for 2 or 3 months... Also I believe this is the 3rd attempt on ebay. Last time I saw it they wanted $85,000 to start the bidding. Ended with no bids....

Mack

Make the man an offer, that way you will have twins...

Hammer

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

I just got back from looking at #46 . ...It will be coming to my shop in a couple of weeks. ....It's a 6.1 ......Alex Cortezzo is the owner. ....in Pa. will probably be A/SA .......Tom

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Tom Gaynor (WA) owns #29. ordered with 6.1 auto. We are still investigating the FIAT CJ500 option.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

I have # 16, and will run with a 360. I know who has 22, but not for publication just yet. I also have 3 in the 80's and two in the 90's, but I don't know which customer will get which yet. Might have a 2010 with the 392 Hemi. Who knows. The Fiat Option will be 2011, and will be a 528 Gen II. It will either have a Barton or Wescott motor, jury is still out on that option. Will run D/SA @ 298 hp. Has two 1000 cfm throttle bodies.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

John, one is enough for me...... I'm just PROUD to be one..... Mack

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Now I might be interested in one of those!!!!!! But that HP seems a little high to me?????

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Glendora Dodge currently has one they are shopping around socal for 45k, I saw a flyer on it........

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

I have # 006 with a 6.1 purchased from the worlds largest Dodge dealer in Houma La.LOL. I have ran it at Div 3 race at Bowling Green, the U.S. Nationals,Jegs Sports Nationals,Memphis National event. Mine ran 9.74 at Memphis in AA/SA .Will be heading to Pomona soon for the 50th Winternationals. Either A/SA or AA

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Congrats on that run Irv, we havent spoke yet, but thus far you are our target :) But then again youve been around long enough to know the fastest guy is always the target ;)

A very serious congrats on the run, impressive.

We are hoping all hope to be testing in Phoneix in Jan, and seeing you at Pomona. I dont see any hold ups, short of a good driver with enough grade points to get us there.....and optimism is high.

I would love to chat sometime if youre game pm me if you are.....I dont know how the heck I forgot to add you to the list...or another friend I just cant remeber his number, so many numbers so much reducer fumes.

Cheers

Chris

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Jeff, Im a bit dim sometimes on humor and always the last to get a joke....

The "Fiat" Option is in regards to the joke email that went out a couple of weeks ago right ?

In as much as the 2010 having a 6.4 ? Is this serious , rumor , and is there any info out there on it ? (Any motor specs ?) ......Or is this another joke that I am too dim to get ?

Cheers

Chris

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Drooze check your PMs

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Chris, you can email me at racer2544@yahoo.com or call me at 502-419-3195. Also 007 is owned by Jim Pancake. I don't know if you know or not the first cars were built out of numerical order, my was built 5th, #9 was built 4th, and so on.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

oops

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

The Fiat 500 with the 528 is a done deal. The 392 is speculation, calculation, and mediation.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Dosent a 528 Gen 2 Heads weigh more than the Fiat 500 ? Hows the factor on that work....lol....I get it its a JOKE ....ok......got that one...the 392 Chally made me think.......

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Jeff, the option you got me is fantastic . Is it the only one made so far with the supercharger??

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners

Here's mine

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Irv, shhhhhh, not everyone knows of that option........ You will get the CJ haters focusing on you......

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Irv, Good Luck at the Winter Nationals. Great looking car.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Irv, yours was the Kenne Bell option BT9.6. The new option is an 871 I took off of an old crew boat and sent to BDS. This one will be the new BT12.8 (PSI). Should help the launch. This will be on the Fiat 500 option only. But don't tell nobody. How many pro stock players you think gonna be in the mix before it's over? Or pro players period? Shades of Top Stock. I heard Mike Keener was trying to get a Challenger for Paul Mercure to drive, but the same people with the global warming crap said the world would tilt on its axis if that happened. More reports as they become available. Trust me this is all true.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Jeff, Did you ever see the movie Used Cars? They said Trust Me. LOL. Did you know Allen Johnson is also get a Drag Pak with the 5.7 engine?

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Yeah right......Like Mike Keener and Paul would drive an automatic.....LOL.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

You know Irv, I have seen the movie. It inspired me. Actually I have been looking at Wal Mart when the hugh cardboard box of dvds that are 3 bucks is in the middle of the isle for the movie. I just discovered it is available online, so I am going to order one. Mercure was going to drive the new Pedal-N-Metal 6 speed that was developed by Kevin Helms. Works like this Shift 4, pull lever for drive shaft overdrive, pull second lever to engange warp drive in differential. I figure the Jeggy car gotta be a manual. You can't make this up. I think it's a 6.1.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

As of right now there are five cars in the mpls. area.Car #22 belongs to Chuck Lofgren,# 26 belongs to Larry Curtis & # 11 belongs to Fred Hanson all have 6.1 motors.I was also told that none of the Drag Pak motors have pistons in them that have been approved by NHRA.The pistons do not have a part # on top of them.Bruce From NHRA is working with Diamond pistons & the engine builder on this problem.I would hold off on bolting that oil pan on.

Randy

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Thanks , Ill give him a call on this tommorow.

Thanks for the 3, Weve not got 20 of the 50 listed.....

Please let me know of anyone else.

Chris

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Randy, when did you hear this about the pistons? Jeff Teuton has one apart I guess he can ck that out. Also Jeggies car is going to be a automatic I heard.

Irv

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

The number is on the bottom of the skirt. I'll look at it tomorrow. It is still apart. Those motors are all standard bore and stroke. I think it would be hard to find a place to put it on the top, but I'll see tomorrow. Got me interested now.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Irv I have been talking with Chuck Lofgren (Lofgren Automotive) for the past couple weeks about this problem and how NHRA is going to meas. dome height and deck height.He has been in contact with Bruce and hopefully this can be resolved by the end of the PRI show.Will all these pistons have to be returned to diamond for a stamped ID # As per the stock rules ?

Randy

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

I would think it would be done the same as the 426 has been for many years. Same concept Drop the piston down a specified amount and cc the cyl.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

I think about the only way Paul Mercure and Mike Keener would race a Challenger is if someone give them a "race ready" car for free and it better be a S T I C K. Park the 68 camaro for the challenger ya right. If that happens then I know Keener & Mercure must have broke into my pharmacy and took more than a handful of vicodin, xanax, and maybe some anti-psychotic drugs lol...Luke

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

I talked to Bruce today and was told its a "non-issue" things were supposed to be different, but they arent, I asked about pullig and having the the ID'ing done by diamond, and was told by Bruce , NO I didnt have to do that. Apparenty there was confusion on what he , rightfully wanted for the other techs, and they will from now on but it dosent make ours illegal, its just going to be tougher for them to check. And well.....thats that.......at least from my perspective. But I had to make a call to him anyway so it worked out well.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Did he pick it up last week? His rig past me going southbound on I-75 at Middletown, Ohio Friday morning.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Jeff, you are a funny guy and that ain't no lie ... Merry Christmas

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Don't know about picking up a Drag Pak car but I do know that they had both Pro Stock cars in the wind tunnel last week.... But have not heard any results.. But time will tell......

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

They're testing at PBIR next week. That's when the results will be known.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Yep, that will be the tale of the tape for sure!!!! I know if looks are anything it will be REALLY fast!!!!!

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
 

Jeff, what class does it fit with a 360"?
