Re: what happened to line?
If my memory serves me correctly,the excuse used in the "break in" was,that was the last of the motors being used. They took off for a year(what a coincidence) and came back with a different motor design. They were using GM blocks with Mopar heads and GM made after a grace period,stop using the GM blocks. The Mopar fans screamed about it claiming GM didn't make the blocks,Catapillar did. That was true but they were GM's design and Cat only cast the blocks. The Wayne County deal has been debated several times here and no one really knows for sure. If you have any reasoning and common sense,you know the answer. I commend any Mopar fan or anyone else that uses common sense and reasoning.

Re: what happened to line?
NOS in a fake battery. Line hid inside cable running to the motor. Ran inside motor through a hollow bolt. That's what I was told at the time it happened.

Careful there,if Billy sees this,he'll tell you right now he didn't do it. One thing is for sure,one of the Glidden's isn't telling the truth. |

One man's "Creative Interpretation of the Rules" is another man's "Cheating"!

Or would you come up with some other 'reason' you cannot continue your involvement in P/S. We see teams lose sponsors at the drop of hat all the time for WAY less than the accusations that were flying around back then.
I realize perception is reality, but just something to think about.

I will tell you why they didn't lose thier sponsor, because no publicity is bad publicity. Everyone is still talking about it 10 to 15 years after the fact. and mopar hung in there with them. |

Re: what happened to line?
Brent,
Thanks for the youtube video.
Any truth to the rumor that Jerry Eckman loaned Jason one of Tom Hammond's new "Experimental" Dry sump tanks before the run???
Just joking people..lighten up!!
I swear I saw someone use Johnny Mopar's name and "credibility" in the same sentence on this thread??? What's the world coming to??
The most shocking thing about that video to me was Nobile, qualified for an NHRA race...WOW! |
