I wish Big all the best, but can't help but feel there are many, many, more qualified Mopar Sportsman racers much more deserving of that car.

i'm curious why you feel that way.
with all of the things "Big" has done for the sport of drag racing throught his career, and all that he's given back to to the fans as well as various charities, i can't think of anyone that deserves it more.

Still not quite sure about that scoop, and they look kind of funny to me with the smaller slicks on them. Like there is no room for the tire to fit under the car. Sure would like to see a SS Challenger with some 32*14's and a full back-half, I bet that would look .

But with Big Daddy, Mopar will get to milk the press with a household (to a degree) name.

I also have my doubts that 'Big' will really be heading for the lanes at national or divisonal events when the call comes for stock (or super stock?) I feel this is going to be a promotional only deal.

Same here, I'd like to see a good comp eliminator team do one up.

I agree. I am not even sure on Griffith. I would like to see some "Hitters" come out with these cars. Anyone got a good list of cars being built? Myron Piatek, I heard is doing one. X champ, should race a lot. James Caro probably entered as many events as any Mopar Super Stock racer. Also Norwicki, Volkman, Leopold and Jeff Teuton and Bucky hit the road a lot and would represent the car well. I think Randy Worford is doing one also!! Any more?

Unfortunately, that's not true. I'd have to win the lottery! Another Dart Sport project I started several years ago still has a long way to go.

You get my vote any way. Quick reply, I didn't even get the edit done!

Two tire sponsers are better than one.
Lots of history between Don & M&H.

There is another drag pack that went out and won its first race, his name escapes me right now though. I am sure someone here will know..

Doug Duell has done very well in his Challenger, but it is not a drag pack. It is an awsome car that was built over the winter from a stock 6 cly. Challenger.

It'll probably be the slowest car Big Daddy has driven since the 1950's!

You can attach one to the post at the "review post" stage, thats the easiest way.
