Well..I asked Richard Freeman last Thursday at Vegas Race, he said that Elite was going back to GM. Asked if I wanted to buy one or both...I should of said I want something could win...LOL
Forgot to ask about the sponsorship, if it was a one year deal or does it go with Jeggy somewhere else....

So they decided they suck or what? Looks that way... Johnsons have extended sponsorship from Marathon for next year. Ironic in that they're the only Mopar left standing yet Mopar treated them like crap and pulled sponsorship last year.

Just think if they would've just helped AJ and Barton with all that wasted money they gave to Elite, what a freakin joke.

I talked to Rick Jones earlier this season at the Seattle National, he showed us around the cars and haulers, it was very cool.
He said their (ELITE) mopar engine program was down 60 horsepower compared to the GM stuff they also built. Hard to compete when you're that far behind.

Nick Ferri could not wake any power with a Hemi the last time he had a program. I knew this would fail. I bet EE & Jeggie are hard to live with knowing there is no way to win. I figured they would be back to GM next year after sucking what funds they could from Mopar to ease the learning costs for the FI deal.

No matter who owns Chrysler, things never change. They do not give the guys that invest their lives into running a Chrysler product and developing a certain motor or product line enough backing. The good guys that live for this never seem to get what they need in money or backing from Chrysler and these guys are loyal to the Pentastar. Were are all the new Iron Second Gen Hemi Blocks that Chrysler said they were coming out with. What ever happened to the SRT program of Darrel Cox that ran a 4 Cylinder program for Chrysler and put his Neon into the 7 second bracket (Quarter Mile Time) and then had his funding taken away and I believe had his car taken back by Chrysler. Chrysler needs to step up and help out these builders and racers.

Elite showed up at a Local test and tune earlier this year. Erica was driving one of Jeg's Darts but it had a GM motor in it.
I was rather surprised to see Elite and Erica show up for a $22 test and tune.

Maybe Allen and Roy will buy them for about 50 cents on the dollar and make them run. That would be funny! Especially if they put their engines and setups in them and went faster... Think anything south of $100k would take one home?

I will put this in the club newsletter and see if we can organize a few car wash fundraisers...we will probably have to wash every car in Tacoma at least once to come up with the dough.
