I can't believe how things get twisted on here but I did say I would get hammered

Come on Bret - you let him run TTs - so you could see how it ran - then decide to disallow it when it turned out to be competitive - I was told the original plan was to allow the 3spd - by Jeff Teuton

And Bo - I have a lot of respect for you but you have know idea what we have done to ours and it is not competitive against a blown CJ - especially in bad air

We have definitely had the valve covers off of ours and yes we are a little faster than the other V10s but so what - we can't run with the blown CJs

I have to go to bed so I can get up early and go to work to make some more money to throw away drag racing LMFAO

Andy , I hear you loud and clear and fully understand . Im just messing with Jeff and Joey about the valve covers .

But being serious I dont believe that any 2 valve motor can run with a 4 valve motor all things equal .

Really? THAT'S what happened? Wow! I thought the three-speed was illegal in the Challenger, (since it was never offered as a factory option), before Dave ever ran.

Man! Thanks for that information. Even though I was there and you weren't, I would have never known the real story!

I have a proper amount of respect for you and what this SCS is trying to do – that said I know this is going to hurt me but…

More than a few people know the "real story" (Dave Thomas, Jeff Teuton and others) you did not have to be there to know what happened – it did not all happen at that race – BTW he was not the first to run a 3spd – it is legal in SS (go figure)

I know you work for ADRL but you should try to avoid journalistic bias – ADRL had a chance to do something great but in the end they turned into “NHRA” with paperwork rules which allow uneven competition in what was supposed to be a level playing field, heads up class

I agree with Bo four valves vs two and add a blower - game over

Now have it Bret …..

You're right, Ron. I just don't have a clue. Would it make you feel better if I cancelled the class?

Bret you are taking this way to personal

I never said you did not have a clue nor did I say to cancel the class - I did not know it was up to you - if YOU cancel it - I am sure it will be because of a lot of factors not because of what gets said on here - most likely it will be due to lack of participation

ADRL lost the opportunity to create a genuine factory race car class because they decided not to entrepreneurially promote a level playing field for heads up racing with these so called SUPER CARS - It should have been exclusively FORD, GM and MOPAR – most of us US drag racers could care less about the foreign exotic cars being allowed

3spds across the board and a blown crate motor for the V8 MOPARs would have insured success

BTW - The only thing I really feel bad about is ADRL still does not have a west/left coast race

Respectfully your humble servant

Don't worry; I won't cancel it. I made the decision last fall to stick to production equipment and therein lies the problem, (if there is one). We're only four races and less than five months into the program. Many things may change in the future but an equal number of things may not change in the future.
