Jerry, thanks for the scoop. Know he likes a challenge and sure enough he's got one now.

You know reading all of the comments on Larry & Pro Stock it seems to me that racers in ALL of the eliminator categories whether it be Top Fuel all the way down to Super Street are not racing for many of the same reasons Larry has expressed. This might be kind of a wake up call for NHRA to actually realize why one of the reasons racer participatation has declined and spectator attendence is not at an ALL TIME HIGH too. Just something to think about.

At Houston this year I talked to one of my sons friends who work for Allen Johnson. When he said they spend 150k plus for valve springs a year I said ill stick with SS. That's crazy. But turning a 500" engine 11,700 will do that. He said the red car is closer to 12,000.

Hemis rev's are pretty high as well now and with less than an ideal valve train geometry. Will be interesting to see the CW PS entry in action.
