Eleven new members are going to be inducted and welcomed by the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame. And such an event is going to be a grand one and a great deal especially to the upcoming new ones.

The whole ceremony is especially prepared for. The Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing would host the mentioned event. It comes to life on the 15th of March and would be held at the Paramount Plaza Resort which is located in Gainesville, Florida.

Other companies are also willing to help out and be part of the induction ceremonies of the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame. It has been reported that Mopar Performance Parts, a good source of the best auto parts like the Nissan mud flap, would be sponsoring the activity. But it is not a surprise for Mopar has been joining in the fun for 16 years already.

The eleven new members can be said to be all experts in the drag racing field. These eleven honorees are Kenny Bernstein (a six time drag racing champion), Frank Bradley (another winner of these drag racing competition), Donnie Hampton (a drag racing champion), Ted Jones (owner of a drag racing strip), Jim McLennan (a drag car driver as well as owner of a drag racing strip), Dale Pulde (a drag racing driver who holds the title having the most number of wins in the IHRA history), Don Schumacher (a member of Team Mopar), Dave Uyehara (a builder of championship dragsters), Dave Zeuschel (a builder of legendary dragsters), Darrel Zimmerman (a director of one of NHRA's divisions), and Bill Bader (an owner of a drag racing facility as well as a promoter of the sport). The latter would also be receiving the Founders Award for his exemplary contributions to drag racing.

The whole induction ceremonies would not only focus on the welcoming of the new members but the event would also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 392 Hemi engine. See, this engine is one of the best innovations that has ever happened for these drag racing members.

On this, Chris Cortez, the Chrysler Group's senior vice president for global service and parts, says, "The 392 HEMI engine revolutionized not only drag racing, but the entire automotive industry."

Ryan Thomas is a native of Denver, Colorado. He grew up in a family of car afficionados. He now resides in Detroit where he owns a service shop and works part time as a consultant for a local automotive magazine.

The Dodge Challenger Hot or Not

Blogs, vehicle sites, and car sites, and automobile have been hyping up the concept Dodge Challenger to the point at which you would think that the car is nearly prepared to roll off a DCX assembly line. To assert that the prototype is being well received is an understatement -- quite honestly if the Challenger was available for sale today the list would be many months long. Such is the demand for a retro car that takes its styling cues right from the '71 Challenger.

As it currently stands, the vehicle will be built as DaimlerChrysler has given its blessing to the new Challenger. Still, the Challenger is more than three years from being manufactured as it is certain to be released a little time during 2009 as a 2010 model. Yes, the wait will be hard for most but if the hype equals the performance, then the wait will actually be worth your while.

Some folk are against the entire retro car revolution. Mentioning that Detroit must reach back in time to make important autos is a sworn statement to the each automaker's woes. On the contrary, I suspect the various revived models currently being planned or already on our streets is a clear affidavit to Detroit eventually listening to its customers: we want cars that are uniquely styled and we want them to perform exactly the way you will say they'll perform. No fake hood scoops, no heralded model name slapped on an auto that pales compared to the first. No, we don't want you to build the first model we want you to build the first model better. Take the styling cues and run with them and incorporate modern technology to improve upon the first design. That's all we ask.

So, just what can enthusiasts expect when they take delivery of their Challenger? Well, like I claimed the car is still in the planning stages, but what I have gleaned from numerous sites is the following information:

Modified Platform -- If you like the Mercedes based LX platform currently used to run the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, and Dodge Charger then the LY platform will suit you too. DCX is intending to modify the LX platform for its next generation of automobiles and the LY based Challenger will be one of many autos built upon it. Some have advised the LY will be the LX on steroids, whatever that means.

Did Somebody Say Hemi? -- Every Mopar product of significance will have optional Hemi power and the Challenger is not an exception. Expect a V6 to be standard with the optional Hemi V8 for performance versions of the auto. Some have suggested that the the 425 h.p. SRT 6.1L V8 will also be supplied for the Challenger.

Ragtop Regalia -- Chrysler asserts that the Sebring will be its only convertible offering, but that leaves Dodge dealers without a soft top car to market [other than the Snake , of course]. Despite this bit of info, look for a Challenger convertible to turn up one or two years after the car's debut. Heck, if DCX doesn't want to build one then O.E.M coach builders will do the job for them. You can bet that Dodge dealers will make these arrangements if DCX doesn't.

Yes, the Challenger will not be in new car showrooms anytime soon. For those among us waiting with "baited breath" we're going to have to console ourselves with the numerous blogs, sites, and car shows hyping the car. Other than that, imagine your glossy new Challenger stopped at a traffic light with a Mustang on one side and a Camaro on the other side.

tensioner pulley trouble and serpentine diagram?

i started my 05 dodge ram 4.7L yesterday and heard a terrible squeeling so i popped the hood just as my serpentine belt fell off. after some inspection I noticed that my tensioner pulley has totally sheered off. so now I need to replace my pulley but it comes in grooved and smooth and i cant find out which one i need since it's sunday and the dodge/chrysler/mopar sites are absolutely useless. Does anyone know if i need grooved or smooth? also it's impossible to find a serpentine belt routing diagram anywhere, its not in the compartment, owners manual or anywhere on the internet. Any tips on where to find it?

One way is to stop at your local library and look up the repair in their Chiltons and Motors manuals. Also, buy an http://www.haynes.com manual for your car. Look closely in the engine compartment for a belt diagram. Try looking up your make year model on http://www.autozone.com and see what belt and pulley options they list as well as repair instructions.
