Am I the last person to have heard this? And it was completely by accident, too.

I saw where he got a Mustang, but didn't know the Challenger was parked or sold. I just figured he was hedging his bet, so to speak.

I have not seen him post that he sold the Challenger yet. He used to race Fords a long time ago. He said he just wants a new challenge.

That is surprising after seeing all the grumbling going on in the Ford camp on Classracer.

Geoff is doing some consulting for our company. I had a long conversation with him about his racing and the Blackbird Challenger. He told me DSR kind of jumped on and took the whole deal over. He told me he was switching to a Cobra Jet just a few days before it was all over the internet. Very very cool guy! And he told me he is not getting rid of the Blackbird.
