TRACTION CONTROL 6
From the cover I thought I would be reading
an article on traction control, not an editoral
push to make it legal. One has to wonder if
the two companies listed "contributed" to the
writer for a possible increase in sales.

Legalize it. And legalize electronic engine
management. Let NASCAR stay in the dark ages
if they want to but let drag racing progress
with the times.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER?
You say, and I quote "Chrisman showed in Funny
Car with a 1966 Comet flip-top roadster and
ran away with the title. In the final, he clobbered
a 20-year-old "Jungle Jim" Liberman (photo by
Tim Marshall) in Lew Arrington's wild Chrysler-powered
"Brutus" GTO with a low e.t. 8.71/179.28. Earlier,
he'd run the best speed in Funny Car history
with a 184.42-mph charge." -- www.dragracingonline.com/special/hotroddrags_4.html

The
Brutus GTO was powered by a 421 Pontiac, with
Mickey Thompson HEMI heads. I am sure there
are many Pontiac loyalists that would appreciate
proper reporting from a nationally read magazine...

Jake, thanks for reading our archives,
but the article to which you refer was written
by Chris Martin in our June 1999 issue. Where
were you back then? -- Ed.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER 2
I could kick myself for just now discovering
DRO! In just a few days I've read dozens of
archive articles and interviews. DRO is on the
"favorites list" to stay and I'm telling everyone
I know to read it.
Thanks for the fine publication.
Sincerely,
Sam Bennett
'CLASSIC' CARS AREN'T JUNKERS
As an owner of a 1970 Ford Mustang I refuse
to give up my classic ride for the scrap heap
after spending $$$$ to keep it. What legislators
don't realize and need to be made aware of is
that with all the good aftermarket stuff out
there, anyone's "classic" can run on unleaded
gas, get better gas mileage and put out far
less pollutants than it did when it was new.
Car enthusiasts don't drive or operate smoking
clunkers. Legislators should appreciate the
car enthusiast as keepers of a piece of Americana
- millions of rolling Smithsonian pieces.
