Lol....I dono if thats gonna happen, I dont know that I have time, I have the contacts and floated the idea, they like it , but getting schedules together for pilot footage to pitch is tough......

So in the interm , when we can, we are going to webcast from the shop 24/7 .....

Something I can do with no more effort than a half an hour and if people can see what were doing and saying and can suggest something were doing wrong or learn something, well....its something Ive been kicking around.

Whadda ya think ? Besides if you think me making a debut in Stock Eliminator cause some ripples wait till August....Thatll be a friggin Tsunami

Stay Tuned.

I patiently await either a DP stocker, or a CJ stocker, or super stocker to win a eliminator title at a 2010 National event, or even Divisonal event.....maybe I've missed something here, but haven't the older combos/seasoned drivers dominated grabbing the Wallys so far this season? I know the newest car combos are putting down some smokin' et's and speeds, but the time tested combos are the ones still bringing home the bacon....time will tell, and when a new car wins it all, (and it should happen sometime real soon) the fur should really start to fly around here...Remember, some of those older /fastest combos are still way under-rated as well.....so maybe it's time to re-factor everything. Just another .02 cents worth..... WJ

I think it all depends on how they win it. If a CJ/DP car wins a race without any heads-up races, why should that bother anybody?

Which do you think would cause more "fur to fly" around here: A CJ/DP car winning a race dialing-in all the way or a CJ/DP car going out in the semi's after winning 3 or 4 heads-up races?

That's the $64,000 question, Toby. Guess we'll just have to wait to see what happens. Maybe at Indy this weekend....WJ

One of the blown Mustangs will not loose a a heads up race unless it breaks, has pilot error, red lights, crashes, or the driver has a heart attack and dies before he gets into high gear.

I agree with that but I think the current E offering of the 352 Mustang....well.....I think the DP has it covered in spades, unless they are really laying low with it, but well, the 5.7 DP Hemi Combo to me is the killer, always has been for the spread from A-F , It will crawl up the ranks from F to A.

I was actually asked today not to get HP added to the Combo because it "breaks" it as an SS/JA and its capable of running competitive there. Thats not a game I am playing, laying low for others, not now not ever. Myself, different story. I appreciate and enjoy other DP Owners information, support and comradary , we however have a limited clock as it were to do the things we set out to do.

We had originally planned to do just that at Houston with it had we not had issues. So it becomes an SS/IA Car.....Looking at Nitro Joes stats its got that covered to ESPECIALLY in SS Trim.

A while back I got roasted for saying I had a combo I thought could go 3 under, now after much thought and discussion with others its an easy 2 under, but the last .5 would break the "budget" nature of the car and setup. I wish , so very much wish I could find one, not just for a stocker, but its a car Ive been looking to add to my collection in permanent fashion I had one. I also passed up a Cosworth Vega because I was sleeping at the Keyboard when it closed.

There are many combos out there not yet in the guides that will be quite upsetting once the manufacturers are prodded to submit them I believe.

Throughout NHRA history guys have combed the classification guide and come up with killer combo's and I never heard this much fuss.

If Drooze had found some strange FWD combo that bombed the index you would head compliments from everyone on his choice and hard work.

Personally I think the DP's and Mustang's belong in SS but they aren't. Mandie (who I think is the brains of the team) and Drooze have made a good choice and obviously put in a lot of work and they deserve what they accomplished.
