Okay, Ed at least we agree about that. The second thing we need to agree about is: Where I live and was raised, if you insult someone especially by slurring them or calling the some lame name, you better be ready to back it up. You will never hear ,me in person or on here, ever call someone some lame name. That's just not the way to do things. Just because I don't put my real name on this INTERNET SITE, doesn't mean that people don't know me or that I haven't met and don't know alot of the racers that visit this site. I just like being sneaky, just like a stock racer. See you at the Southern Sports Nats; Hope you can make it. And yes, even though I am a true Mopar Man, I can't stand seeing the class being corrupted by cars that Ma Mopar doesn't even sell to the public, just like the stock rules say.

Randall and Arnold are correct and yes Dan Dvorak did have it right years ago and some of us just didn't see it. I do now.

I actually did go out and purchase one of the 2008 Cobra Jets but once I thought about how absurd the whole under factored crate motor bull**** was, I just threw a cover over it and shoved it in the corner. The car will make 900hp with stock camshafts so what is there to prove? What's new today will be old tomorrow with the stroke of a pen and different part numbers.

Underrated crate motor cars, no meaningful tear downs, and the AHFS are killing these eliminators yet some of you are in denial about what is really happening. Killer air in Bradenton and no one even tries to set a record? Might as well run Unleashed because that's exactly where this is going.

Craig quit stretching the truth. Your 2008 motor will not make 900hp with stk cams. Your car makes around 650 stk. The SS cars I drive just barely make 900HP with a big blower and SS style cams. Also tell everyone how much work it is to make a 2008 CJ a True stocker. You did not want to modify your car from its original form. That is why you are not race it.

Craigs 69 427 @ 1 under is 25 times more impressive than a Blown mustang @ 2 under. Both cars are cool but I'd take the 69 hands down. I think no matter how fast a DP/Ford runs nobody really cares. Except on a heads up....

Yeah, Terry........I wish. I didn't have the 'enhancements' of the 67 car that won the championship. LOL...As far as the SC Mustangs, they had better build them with 7.50 cages. I don't know if Roy's has been updated..........could be the reason for the brakes???

I looked at it at the PRI show but we got to talking about the old days and I didnt pay attention if it was certified to 7.50 or not. Roy likes to BS a lot. We go way back to around 1971.
