One of the biggest changes will be a new crew chief for the 2015 season. Prior to qualifying in the season finale at Pomona, we announced that we’d parted ways with Mark Ingersoll. He was with us for 13 years, and he’s been a great asset and a great friend, but he was ready to do something different. We support that, wish him the best, and have nothing but good things to say about him. He will be missed. Two-time NHRA Pro Stock champ Jim Yates was gracious enough on short notice to step for the weekend to take on crew chief responsibilities and help us through this last race. Looking ahead to next year, I am very happy to share that Adam Hornberger will join the Mopar team as my crew chief for the 2015 season. Adam comes from a long history of racing and spent 16 years with Penske Shocks. He worked with some of the top crew chiefs in the NHRA over the past 10 years after our team and Mopar/Dodge brought Penske shocks into drag racing. Adam worked as crew chief in 2013 for World Champion Mike Edwards prior to his retirement, and then in 2014 worked for Jeg as crew chief along with J&J crew chief Mark Ingersoll. http://www.nhra.com/blog/blog.aspx?BlogAlias=allen-johnson&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

...but he was ready to do something different. Isn't that the NHRA quote for "found better paying job and we'll see him on another team" ?

I personally think all their traction issues could be fixed by reading the pinion angle thread on Moparts.
Or the shock thread...
Or maybe get one of the Mopart's "madscientests" to install their flowbenches in the Dodge Neon and use it for a power plant. We could suck all the air from the GM competitor's.
Is everyone on this forum a [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]? If you don't follow party lines you get taken to the wood shed verbally? Kiss my ass. I don't usually start up with the crap. It's some jerkoff who can't discuss facts because he worked for Ma MoPar or can put his pants on while loping the mule.
What a bunch of arrogant butt tards.
Grow up and see if you can learn something instead of name calling.
So now you want to bring me into your BS... what a A$$... you come on this board then all of a sudden you know it all... you do.. IN YOUR MIND... take a hike

Mr. Ingersoll went to Elite. I believe he will be working on Skillman's car.
