Wow, who would have thought the factory MoPars could be so drastically affected by 50 pounds! The "fastest" Challenger is down over a full second and 15 MPH from last race!!!

They only added 25 lbs the other 25 lbs came off the Chevy and Ford. The 25 extra lbs should give them additional traction on the 9 inch tire enough to offset the weight on ET. Over all the difference is so little it will not change there performance in any real way to change anything.

Congratulations to Kevin on being the first to getting one of these cars into the 7's. Don't worry Ms Pat I think he still has everyone covered it appears. Only thing Schumacher needs to do now is put Kevin in the seat so he can drive the stripe to keep from getting anymore weight!.
