This morning was first round and we got through it and tomorrow morning we run seconded round at 8:00 am, weather permitting. My friend Bruce Gibson is driving and is doing an excellent job. I have to admit, I enjoy sharing this car and US Nationals experience more than I ever did racing it myself. I will keep you posted. Jamie

My guess it will be next weekend, but it is Indiana weather. Mr Watt, I pulled weight out to keep nose down. During testing, the wheelies were getting very high, by taking weight out the weight boxes, the nose came back down. The car also responded greater than the weight removed.

It's amazing how todays Stockers launch like yesterdays Super Stockers. Now, half of the Super Stockers launch like todays Pro Stockers. There was a nice representation of Mopars in Stock and Super Stock this weekend.
