Instead of running 1.8 under they run 1.5 under. Less of a HP hit.

Brian Wolfe and Ford Motor Company, with and only with the proper supervision of NHRA, will be the first to the "Eight's" !

I don't know who all's got them, but this basically boils down to whether the CJ is faster than the DP.

Don't know who's going to do it, but they've already gone 147+. I'm betting CJ.

If you guys who want to do something constructive with your posting, try sending email, letters or other devices to NHRA to make 3 new classes in Stock, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 and one new super stock 5.5. We want it (Mopar), Ford wants it, NHRA ain't opposed to it, they just need input from the racers. The we would be gone for the most part, then you guys especially you Bowtie folks could worry about something else, like getting GM involved in the car wars. SS in the 7's, Stock in the 8's, after all, this is 2011. Then we can get back to the unfair stuff that was there before we took all the attention, the heads that the Fords got, the heads the Chevy got, no heads for the Mopar. What is that about? I bet yall thought I forgot about those things.

I'm sure with you on one thing, Jeff, those heads should not be allowed. If you can't find the right castings you just have to build something for which you can find castings.
