Dont hold your breathe or burn your house down with candles waiting for this to happen
This project has about as much a chance of going through as a bailout!
Cerberus doesnt give a rats *** about racing. They see it as an expense only. And in the current realm of things, it doesnt look feasible. They are cutting every "extra" type program that we had and are trying to "give" vehicles away with rebates on top of rebates.
I have the "pleasure" of working for the #1 Dodge dealer in the natiion (1996-2005) and have watched the business go into the toilet for the last 3 years. We sold 58 new Dodge units last month and suprisingly were ranked 58th in the country! (around 5000 dealers i am told nationwide). The only reason we are doing OK still is fixed ops is keeping the store alive, so far. This month is another story as we are about 50% off compared to last month. So all we can do is hope.
If you think the bean counters at Cerberus are concerned about the Drag Pak or any other racing you are way wrong.
IMO we are in the eye of the storm and only God knows whats in store for us. Racing, dont see it happening
