Oh, one more thing: competitionplus.com reports that John Gaydosh Jr. is done with NHRA Pro Stock. His car has been sold and is on the way to Sweden. He says he can't afford $170,000 for a new car to be competitive and doesn't have the $1-million annual sponsorship it takes to compete in Pro Stock. In the article on competitionplus.com he says shock absorbers alone are a $30,000 expenditure. That's just crazy.
