and why would i want to go to that god forsaken, slow ***, billy goat mountainside track ?

x2 on your class win comments Jack (especially since the class win contingency postings I can claim have essentially diminished), and thanks to NHRA's index enhancements, I'm no longer able to run .5 or more under the index.

Dwight, I'll give you kudos for your remarks too, but I have greater motivation than even you mentioned:

It will give me great satisfaction to see a car line (the Chevy Cavalier) that was unjustly belittled by Consumer Reports (as were all American small cars), plus Car & Driver magazines, doing something that their more beloved Honda Civics, Acura Integra's, and other imports of their ilk have yet to even try! My car was built by the great people of Janesville, Wisconsin...people like all of you reading this. I believe in you guys/gals, and when I see all of these imports around me, when millions of Americans are unemployed because of "MADE IN THE USA" not seeming to matter on our roads/highways like it used to, not only am I glad to see the DP's and the CJ's being out here and quickly competitive (again kudos to Les Norton, for his SLC Nitro Jam win last week!), but I like it even more when fwd cars like mine, Charles Blossom's, Randy Hyman's, Michael Beard's, and all others who (for whatever reason) still race their fwd vehicles. For that matter, I root for anyone who's continuing to race a 14sec or slower stocker, because the challenges may be greater, but the satisfaction of accomplishing something that few have dared to try is greater too...kind of like the US MARINES...The Few, The Proud, The Slower Roller Dragracers!
