Once again a bogus combination

[Jeff Teuton]

Mark, you really aren't going to like it when Jerry Hatch from you home state comes out with his DP. Some of your comments are a little close, but I am a true car salesman, and have been for 42 years and the 325 people I employ like me being a true car salesman. You really don't know me very well, but that's ok. I'm a big boy and can take the heat. I have been squabbling with people over combo's for years, and plan on doing some more. And you might check around. Over the many years I have probably tried to help the Sportsman and especially Stock and Super Stock as much as anyone. If you feel your can cannot compete, the do as I did, get another combo. Maybe you can check with Bob Lang, your division directory as to my involvement with the SRAC. If you don't like it, get me unelected. That's the American way. It's sorta thankless anyway. As to the 'perversion' of the rules, I didn't do anything at all. Mopar asked and got approval from NHRA to make 100 special Drag Pak cars, with 3 engine combos that are outlined in the guide and approved before the first one was built. I own and race #16. As it turns out, Mopar will build an additional 50 DP cars. We also got 3 Hemi Cudas, which I guess they got 'perverted' in l968, which is the year I became a true car salesman.
