Re: Factory X
Rich guys for sure; but it has the potential to be great (6.90s@200 mph). That is, if the NHRA doesn't screw it up as they have done with the Factory Stock Showdown; and, to a lesser degree, Pro Mod.

Re: Factory X
Well I was reading through the rules the other day, looks super fast thats for sure.....
not so sure about a 26 inch front tire with those monsters, what are they going to launch at 1500 or idle to not go red? Eric

Re: Factory X
The official answer from the NHRA is no, it is not supposed to replace the Factory Stock Showdown; but only time will tell.
