I have returned...And we were the last Mopar standing again...

ZMax four wide Nationals at Charlotte North Carolina is done. And we are all back home.

It was a bittersweet finish for us.

Once again we made the semifinals at a National event. And once again, we were close but the fates were not on our side. We lost by 6 thousands of a second in double break out. And if we had won, the finals would have put us against another B/SA car heads up, and we could have walked to the finish line and beaten him for the event win. Not that the other B/SA car isn't a fast car. He has won more than his share of races. But heads up, we have a significant edge.

But please don't try to encourage me and say that most people never even make it far. I know that. But we are not most people.And I just don't want o hear that anymore. We are capable of winning it all, and some time soon we will do just that.

Our next race will be in Indianapolis for the Divisional in a couple of weeks.

Now we are working on a small mechanical problem that we have been somewhat ignoring for a while, but it is time to fix it.

I am also finally getting the dimensions to Dennis the Diaperman for the for the engine diaper for our car.

This will be just another innovation that we have implemented on our car, that other Drag Pak owners have not.

And I am seriously thinking about doing a book on Building the Ultimate Dodge Challenger Drag Pak car.  In it, I will expose all of the secret squirrel tips and tricks that have taken us to 5 straight top stock qualifier, two class wins, and one stock eliminator. And our car is more tricked out with little things just make racing easier than anyone else's Drag Pak. The book won't be cheap, but it will also contain a lot of the decision process and other things that Chris and I considered and why some were done, and some were not. The same goes with decisions that Keith and I have made on the car. It will really give people an understanding of how to build a race winning car. And I don't mean a car that is simply so softly factored that it has an inherent advantage, because that was the way the Challengers came. but a car that can still win when the factor advantage is gone.

We are also seriously considering a motor change. So, other classes out there, be afraid. Be very, very afraid. We may be coming to a class near you.
