1 5333 SS/AA Randy Hopkins, Scandia MN, '10 Mustang 8.473 9.70 -1.227

Wow. Only .3 better than the next qualifier and .25 better than any SS/AA car has ever gone (factored #'s excluded).

Underrated? Naaaah.

Gotta love them Fords. I wonder if I can get an "A" plan or some other plan on one of those cars from work. I could put a trailer hitch on my Buick and use that as a tow vehicle.

So, Fezell just went 39 at E-town. # 1. Whats new ? Change that, now 9.37
Now here is a car I can respect,
2 1134 B/SA Tom Kreeber, Rensselaer NY, '62 Fury 10.139 11.25 -1.111

its official, the Hemi cars aren't king anymore.................................add some more people with VERY expensive race cars to the PISSED OFF list, but at least they don't have to run them heads up.

The question of the day is does the SS/AA have the correct cage?????????

If your that worried about the cage, why don't you check it out personally. You seem to be an expert on everything else.

Randy is tearing down for the record at earlville right now and not running first round. Tom

So is this car a SFI 25-5 car or not? (would be an awful lot of work since Indy)

Don't know how the record could stand if it isn't.

Seems as though somebody really dropped the ball with these cars from the start....

Ford for knowingly sending them out with 1000+ HP and not sufficient chassis and NHRA for grossly underestimating the HP and thus their capabilities.

And all this in conditions that appear not much different than Indy.......wait 'till they get to good air.
