Never thought about that part Ralph! But how good does Tony Stewart feel right now about leaving Joe Gibbs over the Toyota deal because he was dead on set to run Chebbies?

Good food for thought in all racing circles

All kidding aside, with everyone jumping on the bandwagon, developement is going to happen VERY fast, and I'm very excited!

Methinks we're gonna go back to the days (I'm talking 80's here) when the playing field was even, and guys like Bob Glidden could hold their own running Fords. (Even win championships).

Drag racing, and racing in general, was a sport where if you could score a few bucks from a manufacturer or anyone for sponsorship, COOL! Nowadays, it seems they run the show, and that ain't right. The racers, builders, designers, etc should run the show, not GM, Ford, Chrysler, or Toyota.

Good thing for racing, no more factory money in it 'cept for Ford, who should stop IMHO.

That's my .02 on the matter.
