    10 weeks until San Antonio and the best or worst kept secret in the history of drag racing. Let's see, should we run Alchy funny car or shouldn't we.... should we or shouldn’t we... should we, shouldn't we. What the heck lets let em wait, its only a handful of guys with a million or so dollars in equipment laying around that's not much is it?

    On the other hand there has been no Official Announcement from the IHRA that the Alcohol series has been cancelled , so that means were racing right.....


    I probably shouldn't drink so much :p

    Hey Mike, hang on Les will come up with the right answer. Lets wait and see what he has to say. I like his answers because they have the inside scoop.

    thats the problem

    'gonna happen'...'not official'...'just wait'..

    the last i heard was this was a 'done deal' and that the reason it wasn't going to be announced was that everyone at ihra was off until the first week in january, then the deal would be announced...

    for the sake of the racers, this deal needs to get announced asap.

    I am hoping to be able to make a positive announcement soon. A lot of people have worked very hard to make this happen. Its not a done deal but its getting closer. I will inform you as soon as a signed deal has been put to bed. Thanks for your note.

    lets not forget

    supposedly this deal comes with a methanol/ethanol spec fuel.

    this fuel will have some different characteristics, so some lead time would be a 'perk' so some testing could be done before san antonio.

    i guess it's all good as long as they announce it by the monday before the race...:rolleyes:
