Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
Nodular less flexing, stiffer less frictional loss. Look at the High Strength Steel instead of Nodular that the NASCAR boys are know running 2.5 lb lighter than Nodular and guess what will stick to it??

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
We got told as Mopar racers we could not use the aluminum 8 3/4 section years ago. but we can use a strange s60.? Go figure. just another reason to find a new place to race. NHRA= Not Helping Racers Anymore!

The 11lbs, or whatever the difference is, does make it a bit easier to handle when swapping. I don't know when NHRA and Mopar started posting for it in Stock, but IHRA had it before the Drag Packs and I know of a few people that ran them. "Technically" NHRA shouldn't allow them in the new Challengers either, but is there a clause detailing that? Why post for a part if it's not allowed? |
Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
it be raining again at the Gators, was starting to run Stock and called SG lanes and mother nature said hold on a bit as its raining lightly out. They will have to start over again drying the track as i can tell its soaked again.
Well guess we just wait. hope this isn't the sign of the one run and round one segment. |
Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
I agree with Myron, things that fall in the 'grey area' such as these center sections should be posted in a bulletin, for instance ..
aluminum driveshafts are only legal in the following .. aluminum center sections are only legal in the following ... if you are claiming a 82 to 87 Camaro we don't care about the minor differences in interior or exterior just make sure you are claiming the correct HP .. these cars only came with bucket seats ... don't put a bench seat in one ... etc |
Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
They called stock back to the lanes. It is noticeable cooler from just 30 minutes ago.
I was the 3rd pair down and in the left lane and spun so bad I had to lift. The two cars in front of me also spun. I did not spin once for the entire race seaon last year, so I was not worried, man was that a poor decision. They stopped to work on the track, and then it started to rain. Even though I spun, I had a long time to coast and there is no wine from the rear, at least I got something out of the run. Be back later. |
Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
Ken, weren't you at Norwalk when it was that bad for the first round of Stock qualifying? They actually gave us another run.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
Yes I was, but I was one of the lucky ones and hooked, but they did let the cars that spun run again.
Rusty Johnson in his Fairlane also spun, he ask for a re-run, but they said no. Skillman just went a 9.45 @147 in AA/S I believe. The weather is changing fast and its getting cooler, lots of people lifting. I also believe there is a DP with a V10 that went 9.97 at 137 is A/SA. I am listening in my MH, not watching them go down the track. If they do not post the qualify soon I will try to confirm. |
