Superb Article On Current State of Stock Eliminator

He should have fact checked himself. He is off on a few counts.
Sounds like he is biased.

A couple of facts Nobody has touched on yet.
There were 3 Drag Pack cars that didn't qualify.
Every stocker and superstocker there went under the index in qualifying all 338 of them.

What is he wrong about?

Clay Arnett · 09-10-2010, 03:15 PM

He was wrong about everyone being shocked with how fast the cars ran. They got plenty more left.

There were more Camaros than (41) than DP's and CJ's combined.
Almost one out of 4 cars was a Camaro

Considering that they built Camaros for 35 years and the DP and Mustang for two there should be alot more of them. What percetage of the Camaros were available to every one right off the showroom as production cars100% how many of the Dp or mustangs where off the showroom floor as production cars? Maybe 1 I believe that Mr Dual (sorry if I got the name wrong) built his from a real car but runs the bugus crate motor in it. Not that that is his fault they wont let the real cars in.

Hes 90 % right
All I know is when I pulled in the water box and saw the dail in first round in a E/SA Mustang was 10.22..
THATS JUST WRONG !!
A a thru C/SA would be proud of that number.
By the way ART the 3 cars you speak about all BROKE.
So with the 20 new cars NHRA shortened the field by 20+ %

Someone writing an article should not be 90% right.

I knew they were fast, but not that fast. The Mustang James mentioned was the #1 qualifier at the Mid-Mich. NHRA Div. 3 LODRS, where he ran 10.73. It's obvious he was sandbagging by a 1/2 second at that race. Nothing personal against the driver/owner, but NHRA is letting a flawed system run rampant if they stand by and give this particular car a 10 HP hit. Now, he'll run 10.30's instead of 10.20's in E/SA.

Jim they are not going to slow down at all. Most were nowhere near minumum weight.
