Is anybody surprised that the car was capable of it or why he ran it that hard.

Stay tuned for more exciting info ! Do ya think there is more left ?

I sure hope IHRA acts quick to get these things in a class entirely of their own with a tougher index. People are going to stop racing their series as well because of the new cars. What a mockery of Stock Eliminator...

-1.705 now as the last qualifying lap is over. I'm sure he's got more left in it.

IHRA has them in a different class in Stock, doesn't help SS. We (SS racers) still have to deal with them either place.

They arent listed as another class....Number 2 qualifer is B/FIA, just like the other four in that class. What happened to the "new" classes that were supposed to be for 08 and newer cars?

I don't know. I heard they were going to have their own classes. Didn't look into IHRA stock classes myself. Sorry I was wrong.

I thought there was a mistake made but Danny Waters explained that while IHRA does have AA/FI and BB/FI for the fastest Challengers and Mustangs, they haven't gotten around to forming classes for the 5.7 and 5.9 Drag Paks. There will eventually be CC/FI, DD/FI, etc. as needed. But in the meantime, they ended up in the regular FI classes. They'll be needed for the slower Mustangs coming out too.

Jeff, do you have the V10 car there too?

Apparantly the 5.7 is the "fastest".
