He should have fact checked himself. He is off on a few counts.
Sounds like he is biased.

A couple of facts Nobody has touched on yet.
There were 3 Drag Pack cars that didn't qualify.
Every stocker and superstocker there went under the index in qualifying all 338 of them.

[Clay Arnett]

He was wrong about everyone being shocked with how fast the cars ran. They got plenty more left.

There were more Camaros than (41) than DP's and CJ's combined.
Almost one out of 4 cars was a Camaro

Considering that they built Camaros for 35 years and the DP and Mustang for two there should be alot more of them. What percetage of the Camaros were available to every one right off the showroom as production cars100% how many of the Dp or mustangs where off the showroom floor as production cars? Maybe 1 I believe that Mr Dual (sorry if I got the name wrong) built his from a real car but runs the bugus crate motor in it. Not that that is his fault they wont let the real cars in.

[James Perrone]

Hes 90 % right
All I know is when I pulled in the water box and saw the dail in first round in a E/SA Mustang was 10.22..
THATS JUST WRONG !!
A a thru C/SA would be proud of that number.
By the way ART the 3 cars you speak about all BROKE.
So with the 20 new cars NHRA shortened the field by 20+ %

Someone writing an article should not be 90% right.

So he should have used the word "qualified" when referring to the new cars being at least 8 tenths under.

You said he is off on a few counts. What are the others?
