I’m glad to see the Johnsons getting back involved in racing.
I hope the team gets the Challenger sorted out fairly quickly.

Maybe we will get V. Gaines back too. (Just wishful thinking, I’ve heard nothing.)

I knew Allen Johnson wouldn't stay away from drag racing. I'm surprised he lasted this long.

I wonder if they took the wheelie bars off of these cars what would the run look like. The demo run shown on tv looks just like any of the hundreds of door cars that are already in competition. I say add a degree of difficulty and engineer theses cars so we can see some acrobatics at the launch. This is a silly thought but have you ever sat in the stands during a round of super stock and all of a sudden you here some ooo's and awww's, . . . . . that's the reaction when one of those wheel standing cars launch. My opinion is this class is doomed for failure mainly because head to head doorsLammer racing is already diluted and i cant see yet another class succeeding

geoff turk was in brainerd over weekend. he was on P.A. for a little while during a cleanup, talking about factory x. was listening in pits, but
sound wasn't the best. i do recall him mentioning there are definitely a few more of these cars being built, and he talked about possible 2nd mopar effort as well.
will have to see how many show @ indy. i'm liking this class.
