Not sure why Jon's post disappeared, but it's on the NHRA site, so the cat's well and truly out of the bag by now:

Don't know who removed it from here or why, someone with a good sense of honourable behaviour I guess, but the fact is that that particular story was meant to be launched next week.

Jon asked it to be removed after Dan Welbury stated it's intended release date.

Thank you young man. If anyone wishes to apologise for jumping to entirely the wrong conclusion then you know my E-Mail address

someone shoulda told the NHRA then maybe?

That's the problem with a few people that post on this site. Take away the copy & paste feature and hopefully they will dissapear up there own ass

As soon as I realised the embargo (and bear in mind what I do for a living, I have clearly defined times when I can look online), I edited my original post to remove the link, and requested the thread be closed.

I apologise for any embarassment caused.

I don't think you can be held to blame Jon

Jon, no need mate! You'd seen something which was obviously big news and shared it. The problem boils down to others jumping the gun, even though we had clearly stated that Monday was the earliest the piece could be run and only after it had been on Eurodragster. We have a policy that gives ED exclusivity to any news from the Carter Motorsport camp. We respect them to honour secrecy and Tog has bit his lip many times (he's known about this one for a while). We release news on Mondays, ED fisrt, then our releases go to our mailing list.
Thanks Tog for continually doing a great job. Jon, thank you for getting the thread removed. But hey guys, great news right?!
Dan.

Yep. So to repeat the question I asked on Jon's thread, is this going to be driving the Andersen's car?

[nitro d]

Tet, it will be yes.... unless plans have changed and not filtered back from Florida yet!!! Dan
