Dodge Introduces The 2016 Drag Pak Challenger

This past weekend, the Chrysler Group’s Mopar division unveiled their two newest models based on the Dodge Challenger – with the Drag Pak 354 and the Drag Pak 426.

The 354-cubic-inch supercharged V8 features the same displacement as the first production HEMI, while the naturally aspirated 426-ci version recalls the now-classic motor used in numerous Chrysler Corporation race and road cars in the ’60s.

Both engines are backed by a racing-tuned automatic transmission, and the Drag Pak includes numerous chassis upgrades such as beefed-up suspension and brakes, 15-inch lightweight wheels, and Hoosier drag radials. The rear tires are a monstrous 30 inches wide.

Besides those massive tires, the Drag Pak is distinguished from a stock Challenger by its bulging hood. Models equipped with the 354 engine get a hood scoop that resembles the one on the road-going SRT Hellcat, while 426 cars get a bigger scoop that looks like it could swallow a light aircraft.
On the inside, the Challenger Drag Pak gets a Mopar gauge pack lightweight driver and front passenger racing seats (no backseat passengers allowed) with five-point harnesses, a safety net, full roll cage, and a fire extinguisher.

The Drag Pak is designed to compete in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)-sanctioned drag races in the Sportsman category. It’s not a street legal model, and you’ll likely need some form of NHRA certification to actually race it. If you can get that, you will have one hot drag car on your hands. That is guaranteed to be AMAZING!

Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation Donation

From a modest beginning in 1962, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation (MCSF) has developed into a nationwide non-profit offering financial support worth nearly $90,000,000 to over 33,000 young men and women as they pursue education in their chosen fields.

MCSF provides assistance to students in every state of the union, including 49 here in Colorado for the current school year, with an expectation of that number increasing next year to at least 54 students.

We are extremely honored to support this worthwhile foundation. Those who serve our country and their children deserve our unwavering support. That is why we have committed $5,000 each year for the next 4 years. The children of our brave service men and women deserve all of our support for the incredible sacrifices their families make everyday.

Many of the applicants are the first in their families to attend college, and it is important to them and their families that they not become an additional burden to their families when they continue their education. It is no exaggeration to say that these people who have faced danger and made sacrifices for our country deserve our support as they continue to contribute to the vitality of our country through the contributions of their children.


To qualify, a student must be the child of a Marine or Navy Corpsman who served with Marines and who served for over 90 days on active duty and received a Good Conduct discharge. The student must maintain a 2.0 GPA, and there must be demonstrated financial need. To learn more, please visit https://www.mcsf.org/
