Put a small enough tire on anything and, no matter how old you are you will cut a light!

1, Check

2, Operate on the hydraulic clutch linkage

I won at the end of the season with my P/SA wagon. A few 8 and 9 second cars in the mix.

Jody Lang is the Goat big-time with a slower car Check his winnings

I am hoping to not run into you in Eliminator until I get my P/sa Camaro a little faster. Lol.

Jody is dedicated to his craft. His excellence is partially due to sticking with his lower class cars instead of migrating to faster classes like many do. Surprising he doesn’t have more championships.

Good tread and a lot of good information for a stock eliminator hopefully.

after years of running Comp and being a sideshow in Top Dragster, I'm wanting to get back to real racing. I am a lot better bottom bulb racer than I am a box racer. I started in Comp.

What is the thought on consistency in slower cars when a turbocharger is involved? I am putting together an AF/S Dodge Daytona. I will use a Holley ECM.

I apologize because I didn't read all the responses, but...Didn't take long to see Jody Lang's name come up. I think most of us can agree he is the John Daly of stock elim. How many people watching a PGA on TV would think John Daly could ever win a major? Years of experience and handling pressure just like J.L. My swoopy 99 Camaro is one of the most consistent 1/4 mile cars I've ever owned. It just doesn't care about slight tail or head winds (it just needs a good driver) I see people asking about what stocker should I buy? My answer is always the same....The fastest one you can't afford!

I'd say no, not a good idea..Overpowered turbo car with a stick? Not gonna be consistent.
Another problem ..Not fast enough, but on the other hand, not "slow" enough.
Sounds confusing but I can explain further if you want.
I'd say, if you're a died in the wool Mopar guys, find a newer EFI stick car that runs DF/S or EF/S.That's your best shot at turning on some win lights against 8, 9 and 10 second cars.
