Re: New DragPak car at Bristol
Pretty darn good numbers for a 5.7 DP at Bristols altitude/weather and it NOT being an 6.1 A/SA class car. It looks like the 350 Chebbies and the old 360 MoPars wont have much of a chance for class.

Re: New DragPak car at Bristol
Sorry for a question I could research ( but only have an iPhone for a few days) but what classes can the 5.7 DP cars run in Stock?

3370 for F lol as we found out the hard way...... But the old mans 60's are a full tenth better than mine at weight, so looks like he gets the Jockey seat until I can get my times down.

At vegas when I asked him when hed be ready he said he had no idea, it was "laying on the floor in pieces" not that they dont have a lot bigger fish to fry. But from experience, that was blistering out of the box as it were. He told us some of the things they had found and were doing and I can say well, they were things we had to "learn" at the expense of some new scrap metal. Obviously experience has its benefits. One of the neatest things was when he and Dale Aldo came over to the row we had parked, and they said "Fire it up and drive it over" to the Mopar Trailer, I said, I dono, battery is low....."Ah come on !" When I fired it up both got a real big real wide grin and nodded too each other. And I dug him, he seemed like a wily charachter I dont know if Id want to play poker with him  But as of tommorow "Vacation" is over for us at NHR, our breather is complete and well....Time to "go for it" Never any better time like now.. Weve got to get some seat time and blister some records    No doubt Roys car can already run with or outrun ours. We were fastest, for a second though...lol even if it was a DQ.....That Ill always have being the first to get a 5.7 to the Track, next is to make it the most reliable...lol
