Richard Petty said that Dale is the best driver of this era. ("today") He also stated that, if Dale had competed in his (Petty's) era, that the drivers of that time would have made hamberger out of him. Richard Petty had moves that would make DE look like a Saturday night PureStock racer my friend. :) --- * Origin: TOTAL CHAOS! Jonesboro, Ar.

Your original statement was that Chrysler ONLY raced cars/trucks that are LIKE those they build. Thus my question above. Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge have always built cars that are never anything similar to their competition. They either build them underpowered or overpowered.. Then they cry like babies when they have to comply with rules that make all the cars on an even keel...Years ago, they left NASCAR because *they say* they were legislated off the track..

Nope, King Kenny has already been there, done that, and didn't like it. He too looked to car racing when he hung up his leathers, but after trying several different types of car, including a factory ride in the original Mustang GTP, he decided he didn't care for it. I can still remember how disappointed I was when I found out that he wouldn't be in the Ford at the IMSA 500 at Road America that year. Too bad Kenny wasn't there, as that was the only time the car ever won. Of course there is another bike rider coming up the IndyCar ladder, just as Lawson did. Motocrosser Jeff Ward has been posting some solid results in the Indy Lights and might soon be ready to take the next step up the ladder. rj ___ X MegaMail 2.10 #1607:"Discover America!
