Jeg always was a mopar guy as far as I know, doesn't he race some Hemi cars now and then? (I mean, REAL hemi cars, not a "hemi with chevy on the valve covers")
Quote:Duhhh! BEN HOLT, as in John Holt Race Cars. YES he did build the car as well as many other high profile Mopars.Quote:

"we"? who is "We"? do you work for Jegs? or did Jegs hire your shop to do some work?
Jeg drove Michael Ogburn's SS/AH car in only one Hemi Challenge race at Indy several years ago. BTW, He did win with Harry Holton power. His brother John drove a late model Mopar Super Stocker a while back but, Jeggie??????????????

Jeg Jr????
Other than driving a few hemi super stockers that he didn't own, I don't think I have ever seen him in anything but a GM product.

I thought Jeggie was was in a Stratus for a few races?
), but mostly Chevy guys... but that's normal. At least that was the way it was when I worked there. I hope he kicks buy with it.

yes he drove for Don S.
They did not do well.
I am very excited that Jeggy is back in a dodge!!
And i agree with Fred, this is great that we can follow all these guys.

Yes, it has mirrors. The DP cars have delete plates, but Jeg thought it would look better with the mirrors. And yes, it is legal to run the net. Actually, if you have a full cage you HAVE to run the net, irregardless of ET the car actually runs.
There sure are some interesting responses here. A Mopar stocker with a GM engine??
You won't root for JEg because a couple of the salesman there dogged you for being a Mopar guy?
And three, the name of the chassis shop is John Holt Race Cars. It's not John and Ben Holt Race Cars. I am John's son and merely an employee. It is his shop through and through.
This car ought to be really fast and should be a contender for the Stock championship from the get go.

I also recall a "jegs" super gas Dodge Daytona back in the early 90's.

Quote:I just remembered, Jeg Sr. had a 70 Cuda bodied alky funny car! I think there might have been a 68 also. Moprod had this pic.
I know that Jeg Sr. and Jr. both really are Mopar fans when it comes to Superstock hemi cars. Jr. was very excited to get to drive Dave's AH car. There was some talk about building an AH car after that. Look at some old pictures of Arlen Vanke's SS/AA Cuda, Jegs is on the doors and was a major sponser. I am positive their new drag pack car will be very competive with the Holt's building it.

I've put up with a lot of crap from them over the years because of running a mopar...in the sales room and their old machine shop. It's one thing to be "ribbed" a little but what they've did and said was way overboard. Very arrogant.
Well I was driving them to high school when they were new...you should have seen some of that ribbing 
...and its yellow..whoda thunk that
