The Drag-Pak motor is a lone TB on a single plane intake (albeit a tall one).

From what I gather, Duell doesn't plan on running that car exclusively as a Stocker. The motor that is in the build pics of that car has to be for some other class.

The 2 TB motor was for exhibition/brackets only and was built before the Challenger was accepted by the NHRA.

Doug Duell moves into round 4.

Don,
No argument about the soft combos, all makes have some, even Pontiacs. There wont be that many of those cars. I just think NHRA is missing the boat by not showcasing these cars with their own class. Your choice on the whine as long as its Ripple or Thunderbird.

As tricky Dick Nixon always said " let me make it perfectly clear" ..... Don you should like that, being the political guru that you are. If Nhra let the new Chevy Camaro use a fiberglass/scoop hood complete with Dutz fasteners, a 502 crate motor complete with ram intake and rated it at 425( sounds like a good round number). The same thing as the new Challenger, I would say the same thing about the Chevy. In fact that would make a super interesting class to watch and race against, but they are crate motor cars. Put them in there own class and run'em in stock and SS and sort them out there. I don't even own a car, so I'm just calling it as I see ( and I've seen for 45 years now). How old does that make me anyway? I must have gotten a bit of heat stroke at Indy today. Keith

My question is since the drag pack cars haven't all been built yet that technically makes them ineligible for competition yet right?....I think that is why Doug Duell has the Challenger he is driving...it isn't a package car just a "normal" production car it has to have either the regular 5.7 or 6.1 SRT Hemi in it without the special "drag pack" engine parts....it will be interesting to see how things progress with these things.....
