For the Cobra Jet Showdown Chris had to weigh 3450lbs for his index.
The 8.45 run was in cool air and a tail wind. Great run!

Randy Eakins was getting ready for Gainesville with the CJ Showdown and clicked off an 8.56 ET later that day weighing at least 3575lbs for his index. I believe Randy has a Holbrook engine under the hood as well.

Just watched the video . While I'm not a huge fan of the new cars that car leaves beautifully .... most come up real hard almost lifting the tires out of the beam with no forward motion . This car is one of the best leaving CJs I've ever seen IMO.

Probably the same reason frightened little boys get on here, act tough, and don't put their name to their post. Because I can. BTW, reread my post. I said, NICE RUN!!!. I was just adding to the thread about a nice run. NOWHERE in the original post did it say that this was all about Holbrook. Its about a nice run this weekend, and I posted about another one.

Why don't you go post about a NON-STOCK/SUPER STOCK topic somewhere else if you don't like it? Holbrook's run has zero to do with Stock/Super Stock. Its at an event where its all about cobra jets and nothing else. Its not even based on NHRA or IHRA rules.... and in case you missed it, this is the STOCK and SUPER STOCK forum.

of Class Racer?

Re: 8.45/161.92...
 

There, fixed it for you. And I'm still more impressed with the legal Super Stock run by Womak. I didn't hijack anything, I posted about another impressive run in Florida. You new car guys sure can't handle when all the attention isn't focused purely on you.

Re: 8.45/161.92...
 

Stock/Superstock should be N/A, IMO. Blower cars do not impress me. How fast is the N/A D3 head Cobra Jet, a little more interesting. BTW NMRA Renegade has been running this fast years ago.

Re: 8.45/161.92...
 

Guys why rain on this parade? Just compliment the run or shut up. If you want to give congrats to a specific person or tells us how you feel about blown cars start your own thread, it's really easy to do. I guess when you don't have a vehicle capable of running near this fast it's hard for some to appreciate...

Again hell of a pass! I don't care who you are!

Amen..and correct

Lol People coming in to try to kick sand in the face of the new car racers but then say new car owners demand attention?!?!

The CJ cars are teched going off NHRA stock/Super Stock rules. They changed up the weights this year a little bit and allowed tubular K-Members.

Looking at the rules and Jesse stating the minimum weight that would mean Holbrook ran it as a 13 with a 3.5 upper pulley. (10.0 index according to qualifying. http://www.nmradigital.com/cat/class...5-cobrajet.pdf) Which would mean that there is still more power left because the 14 pulley is a 3.375.

Holbrooks car is more as the factory produced then the other car. Smaller tire, more weight, larger car, stock suspension, less cubic inches, with factory cylinder heads…Just Saying ;)

I prefer to be blown…but I dig NA cars too.
