Who will have the first 8 second Stocker?

[Jeff Lee]

Ron Durhams pass in Vegas last week:


139 MPH equates to a 9.50 ET. Converted to sea level w/ Vegas factor of .9757 equals 9.27 ET!

Yes, new car & "still smells new"!

Forget the whole "soft" factor and "should be SS only". Bobby DeArmond and others chased the continent for the first 9 second Stocker. Obviously it won't take long to dip into the 8's. It's just a matter of some fine tuning from what I can see.
So who gets to design the "First into the Eights" t-shirt?

Sorry, I'm not impressed. These are accomplishments by cars that were never offered to the general public to drive on public streets. More evidence that Stock has turned into Super Stock, while Super Stock has turned into Competition Eliminator. The sad truth is that NHRA has let it all happen.

I don't know who it will be but for sure it won't be a 396/375 car.I'm the anti Chevy guy but I think I liked it better when the 396 and 427s were ruling the roost.Real cars,real mechanical tweeks.Just my opinion.

Is the parachute rule still the same used to be 9.99 or 150mph that they were required

Easy Fix: Buy it, run it hard, get the factor adjusted, sell it! Except for collecting the $90000 to buy one or what Jeff said about the weight breaks.

Correction Andy Durham

Equates is one thing - reality is another - it ran 9.839 @ 139.65 at Vegas

We will work on the 60ft times 1.405 is not as good as it can be but at least it does not spin (well maybe a little on a couple of 1.425 runs)

We are stock eliminator racers and I am sure we can make it faster over time - when we need to

Right now it is just about perfect for what we are trying to do

Win a shoepolish race


Thanks

:-) peace
