Although it would be nice to see him remain in a Mopar, and I do hope he does, it really doesn't matter much anymore. NHRA "Championship" Drag Racing has drifted so far away from the sport I grew to love in the sixties that I really don't care much. The gulf between what they do, and what so many of us geezer and grassroots racers do has grown so wide that I usually don't even pay attention to it anymore. Except for AJ (I do watch him, if I'm around), I really couldn't name a lot of the guys on the "circuit".

My real interest in NHRA racing pretty much ends at the SS/AH cars. Indy was more entertaining to me this year because of the Hemi shootout and keeping track of how the new Drag Pak Challengers were doing. The rest of it...
