Alan,

Good luck either way it goes.....Love to see people still fighting the good fight. I have no idea how difficult it is to do what you do, but being a small time bracket racer, I know the support helps keep you going. Prostock was always my favorite class, and what got me into racing I think....Obviously times change and so does the sport, but I still love it, and guys like you, are what inspire guys like me to keep going....So I am rooting for you as well.

I would love to see more Mopar Prostock tech trickle down to us bracket guys, and its part of the fun in watching you guys develop more HP every year.

Thanks its pretty cool to see all the support. I started running pro stock back in 2015 and only planned on running 5 races and check it off a bucket list. Im not rich and I can't believe I have ran more then 100 races 6 years later. Im a fan of pro stock as much as any of you guys and that's a lot of the reason I haven't quit. If I'm gone I don't think there would ever be another dodge in pro stock we can't have that. I have found a lot of power when we were down for covid. The problem is i didn't have the money to have the stock of extra parts. We run great in indy really 3 hundreds of the fastest car. I think we are going to shock everyone in Gainesville and a electric gremlin shows up and we don't even get a chance to make a run. Then we go to St Louis it rains and we don't get a chance. Stay on Monday and run 6.56 lifting at 1100 ft. Go back up make another run and break a $20 retainer that was brand new destroy the motor. Let me tell you this is so frustrating. Unfortunately we don't think top coat will be back in 2021. We need to find more sponsor help so I can just work on my stuff and not customer work. So we will just see how it all goes I will keep you guys updated.

Alan,
If there is someone we can email at Top Coat to show our support many of us would be glad to do that.

I don't think it would be right for me to give Out the email of the owner of topcoat but if you want to post on their Facebook page or message them on Facebook that would be OK.

Alan,

Is that combo still considered a Hemi 99 platform?

It's not a Hemi 99 in 2006 they came out with the 2.0 block it's a none skirted block the Hemi 99 had skirts around the crankshaft like a 440 block. The 2006 block is like a 340 block.

Have you switched over to the symmetrical plug spacing heads or still running the ones pictured above ? I get the impression the symmetrical plug spacing heads were not good with the carbs but great with the FI.

Glad to see you posting here Alan up Hang in there, currently the only reason I've been keeping up with Pro Stock is to see how you're doing, maybe after the Covid-19 thing plays itself out you'll pick up some more sponsorships boogie Also, care to share your path to Pro Stock? Did you work you way up from the street, brackets, sportsman racing or something else? Thanks up

I bracket race since the early 90s then I raced top Sportsman in the early 2000s and then just wanted to check it off my bucket list. Sponsorship was very hard in the beginning but as I've raced over the years I've gotten a little help unfortunately not enough to compete with the big teams yet.

So couple of really dumb questions......If I wanted to build a mild one for bracket racing, is that even possible? Are parts available or are they one off made to order type? What's a block cost? What's the bore centerline spacing, and how many cubes can you build one to?
