At the Mopar Mile High Nationals in Denver last month, Mopar unveiled the Drag Pack Challengers.
The first two were driven by Don Garlits and Judy Lilly.
I am now proud to officially announce that the cars were running on AFCO T2 double adjustable shocks supplied by me at www.streetracetech.com (http://www.streetracetech.com) in conjunction with AFCO Racing.
Yes - exactly the same suspension being sold to forum members here is what Mopar picked to run on their race cars for the world unveiling of the drag cars!
We couldn't be more proud than having been selected as the suspension for the world unveiling.
I'm pretty pumped that Don Garlits drove a car with suspension I supplied!!!
Here's some photos of the cars. You can't see the shocks, but you can see the AFCO stickers they were running to acknowledge the suspension:

Are these adjustable enough that I can set them up for street/medium cornering driving and then soften them up enough to drag race?

Yup. I daily drove mine for over 10,000 miles. For the street I could make them much firmer than stock, but that got old and I set them up softer than stock.

Worked well at the track then too.

Thanks Pete! You'd think I could at least get an autograph and a decent picture, wouldn't you? LOL.

Congratulations again!
