That's one He-- of a run....

From what I hear Johns & Duell have plenty left. Should be one heck of a match up if they meet up in class!

Looks like the 6.1 is going to get hit soon.

how come nobody is killing themselves or jumping off a bridge when a Challenger go's that fast like if it was a CJ?

I have just a smidge more respect for them because they don't have a blower on them.

A/SA class run off's are a friggin' joke. Look at the MPH and et's on the DP Challengers. They are all over the planet. Dale they ARE just as bad as the blown Fords. It just amazes me that some think that just because they are fast with a grossly under rated car that they are such great engine builders and drivers.

And the sad part is that the 6.1 DP is not the soft combo it's just one of many, if you look up the rest of the crate engines from mopar or ford there are some that are evan softer than that, like somebody said these folks aren't great drivers or engine builder they have BIG WALLETS but like to think they are good drivers or engine builder, But it's not really there fault it's NHRA's fault for not getting a little closer on the HP, and when i mean alittle closer i mean like 50 to 100HP more on some of them!!!!

That would really be something if it was a REAL CAR that went that fast..

Deep pockets can definately help you go fast, but to win an eliminator title you have to be able to drive. Most of these guys who post big numbers are usually long gone by the semi's.

Also spot on as usual.

I heard one very well known engine builder who builds fast S/SS motors. He does most of his own head work and development. He said 90% of your engine builders out there are engine assemblers then they get a soft combo and they are hero's.
