Last night I recieved a PM from Chris with the following Quote:
Hey man, I do news writing for dragzine.com, and noticed the post about the Jr. Dragster engine you put together. I was interested in doing something on that to the effect of what goes into a Jr. Dragster engine. I think most of the info I need is in the post you made, but I was wondering if you had a pic of the Jr. dragster itself? And maybe a little info on like what series it's run in and where, plus who drives it would get an honorable mention. Anything else that you'd like to see mentioned I can do as well,
So please let me know,
Thank you,
Being a new member and me never hearing of the the site I was a little sceptical but after a little reading and verifing I sent him some info and said "Why Not"
I expected to hear back saying his boss decided not to run it but to my surprise it was ran today

Chris, FWIW I think it's a great artical

Never my luck with those one lungers.....the daughters drove me to drink....HEAVILY....I can tune anything...but a JR DRAGSTER...I even paid guys to straighten it all out.....they get it dialed in....I'd change the oil...and *POOF* tune is gone......never did get it consistant....
