Default Re: You asked fo it - here it is NHRA Factory Stock Showdown

I can't imagine any of the V-8 Drag Paks wasting their time, not even David Barton. Too bad, it would be a great way to race but no one has a chance with a V-8 DP. 3,000 lbs ready to race? Maybe if Barton loses 200 lbs which I don't think would leave him with much, lol. Oh well, I'll still watch the supercharged cars battle it out.

It will be a two horse race at best, if Copos can get there in time.

Maybe when they do start running, and they start kicking the Fords butts, the NHRA will have to change some rules, and find another way to keep Ford on top.

But as long as Mopars are naturally asipirated, and the COPOS and FORDS are supercharged, it would be hard to think that the Mopars could be competetitive.

40 years ago, Mopars dominated and were "legislated" out. Now, by allowing blowers in Stock, but not allowing them on Mopars, the NHRA is essentially doing it all over again.

Oh well.... Y'all have fun out there....

If I could afford a 5 speed manual conversion - I would use the money to get there with my 2 speed

We would not be uncompetetive but I guess the age old money issue will keep us from finding out just how competivite our V10 would be

We have a few tricks up our sleeve which we will not unveil until Somona - after the HP hit in July
