After Ron Capps failed to put the NAPA Auto Parts Funny Car into the program Saturday Night, Tim Richards, and his wife Kim, (Dick LeHey's Daughter), just up and quit as crew chief.

I haven't heard through the rumor mill if Schumacher told them to quit, but that is a pretty big pill to swallow.

oh yeah, I did see that.

Tony was pretty diplomatic about the situation ... after the third time they ask him about it he should have told them to buzz off.

No I missed it. But stock your looking at 4.5 seconds 0 to 60 in a 4750 pound car (the CL65). Send it down to Renntech like I did and you go from 604hp stock to 685hp and sub 4 second 0 to 60 times. Plus top end is not limited to 186mph anymore . As for quarter mile times. 10.2 at 137mph was the only time I got on her before the damn LSD broke in two (remember to upgrade this and the intercooler pump. I found out the hard way).. Not to shabby for a vehicle near 5000 pounds.
