You know Zippy, I honestly believe that Dodge might be even better served to maintain the one PS effort (AJ) and focus even more on the new Drag Pak Challengers, as well as the many other Stock/SS racers who are committed to Mopar and have been for many years.
Although I appreciate the technology in Pro Stock racing, they have "evolved" into gas burning funny cars, all cookie cutter and all running the same. IF they would run real versions of real cars in Pro Stock...Challys, Mustangs, Camaros, etc., they might even get some billing.

Jeg is a business man and although committed to racing I really dont think he cares too much what he is driving, he just can flat out drive.
His bracket cars, what brand are they? What motors? Last I knew they were all Chevy's. Not that it matters to me.
I like the guy, heard great things about him while he is bracket racing too. Never crossed paths with him.
Last I knew he had a '66 Nova wagon bracket car with a big inch BB Chevy, Glide, CD player and A/C.

We did the first part, at least I was told that some time ago. Nobody has a deal except AJ.
On the second part, there has always been lots of work, exitement, and discussion re: the Challengers. Now more than ever with Indy coming.
What you're suggesting could very well come true but it's anyone's guess how an increased focus might or might not manifest itself. Luckily I don't have any say in such things....if I did, I'd be lambasted around here on a regular basis.

and a generator to run everything while in the lanes so everyone can listen to the country tunes last I heard he was winning some pretty good money in the primered wagon with the country music coming from it. I think all his bracket dragsters have chevys in them too.

Here is the official Chrysler media release... http://media.chrysler.com/newsrelease.do?id=9034&mid=1Pretty cool. You know, this deal is deja vu for me, and for those who lived and still live the old SS wars. These Challys, and even the CJs, are a blend of the old school and new school stuff. I wouldn't be at all interested if they were all running turbocharged 6 buzz boxes like Sport Compact, but they have V8 engines, with Torqueflite transmissions! Great. I will be watching Indy this year with more interest than I have for a long time. And, it won't be the fuel circus or even PS. It will be the Hemi challenge and Super Stock/Stock Eliminator. Are you listening, Glendora??
