It is pretty cool that the Big 3 American made car manufacturers are back into the Drag Racing scene. Just like they did in the late 60's and early 70's Ford, Chevy, and Dodge vehicles are represented at NHRA events around the country. Big thanks to Ford Motor Company and Jesse Kershaw, Chevrolet and Dr. Jamie Meyers, as well as Dodge/Chrysler and Dale Aldo. These 3 guys show up at most of the NHRA events and cheer on the brands they represent.
Now lets begin discussion about these new age factory drag cars! ![]() Jim D'Amore |

I think it's unfortunate that very few actually can appreciate or comprehend the significance of what is currently happening. There was Yenko and Tasca and others from "the good old days" but in 30 years people will be saying the same thing about now. I was too young in the 60's to enjoy the musclecar wars but I'm enjoying today!
A number of years ago people were all saying how great it would be for the factories to become involved again. Then Ford jumped in and everybody screamed about the unfair hp but I think missed the bigger point. Now all three are in and it's only getting better! I too thank Ford, chebby and mopar for jumping back into it! |

They should put all of their body styles in the guide.

I agree and they should put the engines that are really available with them. Not just the "crate motors".

Really?
I'm not seeing it. There are a couple of entire years missing since 2008. I was told by NHRA people that Ford refuses to provide specs for most models other than the Cobra Jet program beginning in 2008.

X1000!! Whatever you can buy at the dealership should be available to race!
Those that have the $$$ to run a CJ won't be effected, they'll run a CJ, but those who can't afford a CJ program could run something else. Love to see a twin turbo v6 f-150! Maybe they're concerned of all the AWD and turbo/twin turbo combo's available now? Ecoboost 365hp awd Taurus outrunning a 69 camaro would make too many mad? LOL! Put them all in the guide, I say! |

If Ford refuses to give NHRA information on the vehicle, what is to stop an individual from putting it in the NHRA guide if the specs can be provided by that individual? Jim D'Amore |
