We will definately be there next year. Our team has been going to Hockenheim for 6 years competing in SuperGas till 2000. In 2001 and this year we drove ProMod. In 2000 we where SuperGas champion. I saw that you went out in Round 1 by 4 hunderds under! Sorry, to see that.
I keep you posted on the progress on the Monte Carlo.

We raced a super comp dragster sponsored by Craftsman, SC 446. to bad we didnt meet (maybe next year). I would measure the bores, if they are round put in new rings and make a compression test.
