Dragster Parts Choices

In division 3, 6.70 has not made the field. To go say 210 mph the car is going to want 280", you can fool a four link to some extent into thinking its longer but most guys at that speed want the lighter weight slip joint cars. It may be the finish line mph game but to go thru all the work and not quilify is less than fun. I expect this year you will start to see more and more blower cars with less and less big inch nitrious motors. It is getting to be a racer needs to run 6.50 to know that they will qualify. Also to be competative at those speeds is not for everyone. Also with the alcohol classes getting less competition and shrinking fields and events, the TD/TS cars are going to be the Big Show so to speek at Div races without alcohol cars. I look for the fields to open up maybe to let some 7.00 cars have a shot, they could go to 64 car fields but that will vary by division and participation.

Thanks for the pics Jeff Looks good nice and neat
Ya looks like they are flyin pretty good if 6.70 is not making the cut
I will have to see how serious I want to get but at this point I don`t know if I have the time or energy to pursue that I am thinking super comp may best suit the chassis and my time, etc
Just go build a nice car have some fun and be competitive Think that would work for me

Thanks for your input much appreciated
