Factory Showdown at INDY

NewHemi · 06-25-2012, 11:58 PM

Jerry had it right. The Mega Maniac ran the 9.83 with a 5.7

My Drag Pak is one of the lightest ever built. Drooze and I did everything we could to get it there. And we have always had a few more that we could drop if the reason presented itself.

But even so, we can probably only get to just under 3200 with driver. And frankly, that isn't enough to give us what we need to beat the hair dryers.

So there is no chance that I will ever run it the ADRL.

No reason why some track would not want to sponsor a ss heads up race among the big 3 auto makers.

How about Hagerstown MD November 3-4 along with our two S/SS Combo races? Nothing else going on that time of year, and a within reasonable driving distance of quite a few DragPak/CobraJet racers. I'm pretty sure I could make it happen if there was enough interest.

Don't all of the Copo cars come with 9-inch tires? According to the classification guide, the two supercharged Camaros are identical other than the supercharger and throttle. One could easily swap back and forth. No?

Why would we pay a track to entertain their customers? Don't you remember Top Stock when we ran down the track the flash bulbs went off so much they lit the place up.Everybody wants to see the Big 3 AMERICAN car makers compete again heads up like they did at the dawn of the muscle car age!

I haven't looked at the guide, but with the Ford's, the small blower can be run in either class, but the large blower is SS only.

Paul , I had to pay for us to run top stock . Every class that races as a sponsor who pays for that class . At this point there is no sponsor therefor no class or place to run your SS car heads up .

Dont for get before me GM paid for top stock in IHRA . Paul get your local track to put up the money for us to run. Mike I like your offer , now only if some others would join in

Mike , I have talked to NHRA tech several times the only place the COPO 4L car can run is super stock . I would agree you could swap the blower and run if that's the only difference
