2023 Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak Widebody
#1
I have been a MOPAR owner since 1969 when I purchased my first new MOPAR, a Q5 A12, 1969 Super Bee SIX PACK coupe. I still have the car along with an Alpine White 440-6 Superbird, 1966 Dart, 1966 Coronet 440, 1998 Neon R/T, 2005 Commemorative Edition SRT 4, 2021 Charger GT AWD, 2021 Indigo Blue Challenger Scat Pack Widebody, which I will be selling, 2022 RAM 2500 Cummins long bed, and I am still waiting on my 2023 Challenger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak Widebody to get it to my dealer. I am an Army Vietnam Veteran, 1967-68. I have a wife Cathy and a daughter Heather. I am 75 years old and I still work 5 days a week and I Drag race my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 and the Scat Pack once in a while. I hope to learn a few things about my car if it ever gets here. Luckily, I paid off the Scat Pack a few months ago and I will be using it as a down payment.

Welcome to the forum! You’ve come to the right place. Lots of knowledgeable racers here (I’m not one of them, though ;)) Thanks for your service, too. (Quite a few vets here , also.)

WOW! I really mess with the kids heads when they get beaten and then see a 75-year-old get out of the car. I even went to Indianapolis for the ET Finals and was in the Race of Champions. I got down to 4 cars, treed the guy and we both broke out, but I broke out a little more.

I race a 1966 Dodge Coronet with a mild 440. This season will be 11 years on the same untouched engine, and I race two classes every weekend that they are open. I had Quadruple Bypass Surgery due to Agent Orange and I missed several races, but I still ended up in 6th place.

Thank you. I found that out the hard way with my Challenger Scat Pack Widebody. I can't imagine what a Hellcat would be like.

[welcome] to the forum!

You do have quite a cool car collection[pics?]

Are you Drag racing Bracket, Index?

Agent orange is quite nasty!
God Bless you and Thank you. Your service went beyond what you signed up for!

Married, daughter, 75 still working, racing cars and a Jailbreak on the way!
That's Awsome!

Are you planning on going to the track with the JB?

Congrats, I hope the JB arrives sooner rather than later!

Linda :)
