Somehow I don't see Don banging gears down the quarter mile, makes me wonder if it's not an auto.

Hey Jim Bailey, think they can put a push-button in that Challenger?

I woundn't count him out remember that man has forgot more about drag racing than most us will ever know. I have the utmost respect for those that had to innovate instead of buy.
Now we have to see if he will attend the SSSSA races? That would be "GREAT"

Bill,
No apology needed. He is one of my heroes.

I'll bet he will make a few practice laps before Indy.

That seems kinda wierd (cool). I just saw one of his old front engine dragsters at a Summit retail store in GA last summer in my travels.
Would love to see a picture of his car. Oh, here it is.

I see where Mike (MPR) has posted some recent photos of the Drag Pak Challengers on his website. Go to http://mprracecars.com and click the News button.

Would have thought he'd get his old digger number of 204 back.
