2019 NHRA "Silly Season"

The main reason there are not more Mopars in pro competition is the COST . There is just as much techlology in Mopars as any other brand . Just think about it for a minute . You are a racer in top Sportsman class . It takes 1200 h.p. to push your car into the 7 second zone . A shevvy motor cost $28,000 . A mopar cost $38,000 . You get money for running a shevvy . You get nothing for running a mopar . It costs you $1,000 to race for a weekend . Where does that come from ? I was at a race in S.G.M.P. and the purse was $40,000 . There were 496 race cars there . Ford and Chevy were giving bonuses for winning . there was 3 Mopars on the property . I was the crew on one in Open Comp. One of the other mopars had a 632 cu in shevvy. Did I have fun , you bet . Did we win, not a chance . I'm still not going to race a shevvy.
