The fomula i been using for a long,long time says 625...comparing dyno sessions and et's it have showed it a little conservative...so it's probably closer to 640-650 ...that is 134+ on the score board and minimum weight ofcourse..

What is a "BOGUS" track ???

Is a track "BOGUS" because it happens to have GOOD AIR ???

I shouldn't reply to someone with a BOGUS name...... :-(

no, a bogus track is one where they subtract .4 from your ET and give you the record for it, even if the actual DA is sea level at the time

[Jack Matyas]

As a point of reference Erich Bollman ( AA/SA '08 Mustang CJ ) qualfied # 16 at Atco -(remember, this is 1/8 mile) - 6.162 -.868 under . Also he went Top Speed of the event @111.86 MPH .I have no idea what his weight was on those runs .Carry on ..............

AND WHAT DIVISION DIRECTORS ALLOW THAT ???
Could you name some tracks and Division Directors that allow Tech to do that ??

ok the .4 was an exxageration. but you can set a record at an altitude factored track without putting the number on the board. and they are exempt from getting hit with HP. It is BS

This post is Bogus!!! Once again these cars have not done anything wrong but show potential. Robert Pond and Bobby DeArmond have been running nines for the last couple years and they haven't generated this kind of attention. Geez, this is ridicoulous!

[bill dedman]

Have either of them (DeArmond or Pond) ever run anything approaching 140 mph?

MPH is the telling number in drag racing. It is a lot more reliable as a horsepower-to-weight indicator than e.t. slips because bite will vary from track to track, and when the hook changes, so does the e.t., but the mph is a lot more constant, regardless of e.t. variations.

These cars have had very little development (track) time and are already running numbers that no one else can approach, with years of development. THAT is the problem; all provided by the 425hp factor that NHRA has bestowed upon them (and the 700+ horsepower they seem to be able to produce, at will.)

Given these circumstances. don't you think this situation is worthy of some discussion?

I do...

Jack,
CJ at Atco to the 1/8 = 6.16 et @ 111.86 mph. CJ at Dallas to the 1/8 = 6.210 et @ 110.01 mph and 1/4 = 9.794 @ 140.17 mph. Looks like the CJ at Atco could have gone close to 142 mph.

Smitty,
It may look like Ford and Mopar have pulled this stunt off but heads have begun to roll over this mess. Things can still change. How will it hurt you, if these cars are moved to another class?

Sorry ..little "off topic"

from anoter site:
The correction factor for Las Vegas is .9757

8.630 x .9757 = 8.42

just one example but alot of records are from "the strip"..C.W. was faster at the Dutch last fall than Vegas at the shootout..even with the factor..he's a good example because i think he's never "holding any".. may have developed over the winter also..so what would you like to do with E.T's from Atco,"Dutch" and Houston,Florida,"Alabama" made in the "winter"?
