Not trying to take anything from Clegg's runs at all but, the "Red Rocket" that was mentioned earlier also makes its power naturally and is only 358 cubes of high reving MOPAR! And has been running in the 7's for some time

Not taking anything from Gove, but Clegg is punching a much bigger hole in the air

Just maybe there should be a "Shoot Out" for the Quickest and Fastest Super Stocker On the Planet at Vegas in October .Just maybe I could raise some money for the Shoot Out at Vegas what does all think It would be fun for all and by October I could have a good size purse or even a Sponsor.The Shoot Out could be during Qualifying ?? anyone interested???

Well,i guess i'll put my 2 cents in.i gave a congrats to the guy in that little red car & a hand shake,when he went 7.96 at the grove.now i'm going to give john a congrats for his 7.96,since he commented on my success in the dragster in 1993 about me going 8.49 at the time i was the fastest car on the planet!! I'm only repeating what was said.ha! Ha!

Nobody mentioned Tasca's 7.96/172.47 at Bradenton last weekend, though.

Has Tasca's car ever been through tech? Has it ever been to an event? or just test and tune?

In most cases small motors in light cars are faster than big motors in heavy cars. Lets give credit where credit is due, John's Red Firebird hits the scales over 3200 pounds. To run a 7.96 at over 171 MPH at that weight says a lot about the power (Nickens Power) and the chassis setup to make that happen. Also John's Firebird may be the only SS car in the country that has 2 chutes to make the last turn off. Great job John and Judy. Ken and Linda Howell
