I believe Chuck Tate is Sean Tate's father. They brought both the DS Neon
and the CP Mustang to Nationals. Both were originally registered to run the
Neon in DS, but decided to run the Mustang in CP instead. Aparently the
driver got switched appropriately, but the vehicle didn't.

The Neon that finished third at Nationals was driven by Bob Monday. Awesome
driving in one of the original 4-door SOHC ACR's! Although listed as being
on Hoosiers, I believe he was actually running some old original BFG T/A
R1's.

Yup, they were there and they ran the Hoosier 225's on wheels obtained from
last year's "first human in DS", Stacey Molleker. I spoke with these guys
myself and indicated that someone may have a problem with their setup, but
that they probably wouldn't be protested unless they finished in the
trophys. Neither did trophy, and no protest occured. D-Stock has become a
much friendlier class lately and protests among the "Neon-boys" are
*extremely* rare these days.

Unfortunately, only a handful of people at Nationals outside of DS seemed to
"get-it" :-(
