That is a nice car.  The first pic with the sun behind it is pretty neat!

I don't know how I keep missing that race.  I lived under PP for years and never went.  Somehow I have to remember to go to this next year. 

Thanks for the pics.  Definitely one of my favorite cuda's.

I loaded a few more pics of Jess Neal's Cuda on my Flickr site tonight.  These are from the mid-mountain practice session on Friday.  I still have to finish my Sunday race pics:

A few more shots of Jess Neal's car:


Hood off on Tech Day for the hill climb


Coming around one of the upper paved hair pin turns below Devil's Playground






Haulin A$$ up the mountain in front of the radio announcers and fans



At the end of the race day all of the racers come back down the mountain and are greated with cheers and high fives from thousands of fans.  Where else would you ever see this in motor racing?  This is such a cool, one of a kind event!


And one last one - a bit of digital art work...

in case any one missed it, Mopar Action had a write up of Jess' car in the April 2010 issue. Back issues are available for $7.95 from MA.

Very cool car.  My only problem with Mopar Action is the April 2010 issue was out in like October of 2009.
