Once again, "Scoop" Hutchinson delivers the goods!

Would someone please let me know what teams if any I am going to be running next year as I have been out of touch over the holiday's? It will be interesting to see if I have anything show up at the test sessions or Pomona since the folks here know a lot more then I do on this.

Once the rumor mongers have found places for all of your talent to go, hopefully they will find it in their hearts to put together new teams for you.

Goodluck next season Mr Schumacher sir , keep that nitro burning.

William, thanks. Mr. Schumacher passed away in 1988, I prefer to be called Don.

Oh ok I try to be respectful to people of importance thats all.

William, I am no different then you. We are equals and understand I respect you also.

Um excuse me Don but you wouldn't happen to know where I can get info on every little detail of how a nitro funny car is tuned and put together and stuff . I have read alot of how they work but i wan't more info.

Don, Do you make a trickle charger that can plug into a 12 volt power outlet.

Now this was funny.

Alright, I have gotten my email & IMs full 4 times and I guess if Dons not gonna tell ya, I guess its my place to do it!

Here Goes:

Dan O going to NHRA was a plot, We had this all planned out! We secretly funded the new Bernstein deal to draw Ray away from being Top Dog at NHRA, and stick a racer back in the saddle.

Heres the Scoop:

We have a Prototype Battery Operated/ Electric Powered Dragster, that in testing at Bonneville has topped 304.78 mph in the standing 1/4 mile. The secret to acheive it being a raceable machine we had to make sure of this; to get it spooled up enough to take off and get a respectable 60' time.<.80 // it was a chore to get 4201.60 lb-ft torque down from an electric motor < currently the best ET we have achieved was a measly 5.609, but our engineering department is working throughout the Holiday season to make this a best case low by seasons start in Pomona.>
With Dan now in the Top Spot, we have assured him. that this will lessen the cost from Nitro Racing and still keep the excitement of the 1320, and still maintain our spot as the leading charger company.
The hard part was to adjust weight versus repectable horsepower, Engine displaced by a battery box was the chore, The offset of torque and thrust, while maintaining power to, & downforce on, the drive wheels.
Now, assuredly, we at Schumacher Electric are the Official Battery Charger Company of NHRA and have plans for the other teams to benefit by offering dyno-time & blueprints to the system for parity across the field.

It should be late 2007 for the Funny Cars, but they should be inplace by the 08 racing season.

Happy New Years to All, and a Grand Racing Season for 2007

2007. In a world of short attention spans and imediate gratification, how long can it be until the NHRA surpasses NASCAR! 500 miles vs. 1/4 miles! Thank God for the NHRA! Whether you hate the fact the BRUT car is now Blue, whether you wish John Force still drove for Oldsmobile, whether you wish TJ would drive a Skoal Peach car! No matter, damn I love knowing I can mess around all day on Sunday after church and nestle in with some Kettle Corn and A and W Cream Soda for Round 1 of Top Fuel on ESPN2.

Have a great year Maters!
