Good Doctor, you are absolutely correct. And... it wasn't me who slammed you,
I like you even though I never met you. Heck, I even like Keith.

Absolutely NOT what I said. The original thoughts were from Dick and he
mentioned putting a DeSoto hemi into my little car. Told him I was a ford man,
but fond of hemis. Then he made some comparisons between hemi and schevy,
fords and others. Some else chimed in and mentioned that really big hp numbers
could be found in the drag car classes from hemis. I said fine but they prolly
weren't DeSotos, or even Chrysler's but after market motors. I thought we were
comparing old hemis to old chevys, fords and the like. I missed the train
somewhere when we jumped to the latest and greatest drag technology. I love
the old hemis, once even put one in a Kaiser of all things.

But the hemis now in use in drag racing, unless nostalgia class, never ever
saw the inside of a Chrysler factory...not one single part. And that's what I
thought we were talking about.

Oh, and did some one slam me? Must be to dumb because I missed it? If so, take
a chill pill and get over it. Not worth it to you to not like me. Don't
care...

mayf off to beat my body now at the gym...might need it this summer in the
pits :^}

Dr. Mayfield, are you saying that the Top Fuel and Funny Car classes are not
running Hemi's? I need a definition for the same reason you do. To increase my
knowledge of things that I mistakenly thought I knew something about.
