Chuck, which race did you have to race Fezell in your CJ?
Ronzello had the first one out there in A Stick I think.
Thats my point. Even with someone spot on at shifting, the car isn't going from 10.70's to as fast as they are now. It took a lot of work to make them fast and like I said, the people with the newer ones had the benifit of things being worked out before them.
James, it was at Charlotte last year.
The first one out was at the Winternationals in 09 that Calvert won with a stick car. It was a mid 10 second car, and we all know Calvert can drive a stick
