Agreed. Three hundredths is the most ( in bad air) 50lbs will slow my car. At their power levels, should be less.

Terry, how do you figure the Mopars are throwing the game? Qualified 1 & 2. Chevy looks strong at 173mph. Maybe Chevy isn't so short on HP.

The mopars played the game a little smarter this week...

First round, Leah is 5 mph higher at the 1/8 than Kohn, but then less at the 1/4. I’d say they are pulling timing or something out up high to hide the hp advantage.

50 lbs ain’t gonna make you lose mph from Indy to better weather in St. Louis. The great thing about NHRA live timing. You can’t fool everyone.

I think they shot Welch and then hung him. They didn't want him to be a distraction on this forum.
