Badass!

Congrats to all of the CJ racers. You guys put on a great show. Looks like most of the "fast" guys all have a Holbrook decal on their car!!

By the way Mike Harris had his big crash at Cecil County not MIR.

what size slicks are allowed?

Sorry, SuperFan1, (I don't know you real name), but you're wrong.

The qualifying sheet you posted was incorrect. The corrected sheet shows Drew qualified fourth and was on a 10.10 Index. Here are the top six qualifiers, (shown because all were one second under or more).

1. 3334 9.95 13 COBRA JET 302 CHRIS HOLBROOK LIVONIA MI 8.504 9.95 -1.446
2. 373 10.10 12 COBRA JET 331 BILL SKILLMAN GREENWOOD IN 8.764 10.10 -1.336
3. 1574 10.10 10 COBRA JET 330 FRANK MAIOLO MOUNT VERNON NY 8.872 10.10 -1.228
4. 3909 10.10 12 COBRA JET 331 DREW SKILLMAN GREENWOOD IN 8.893 10.10 -1.207
5. 158N 11.20 10 MUSTANG 352 EDDIE BROOKS DEER PARK NY 10.087 11.20 -1.113
6. 5333 9.30 13 MUSTANG 302 RANDY HOPKINS MISION TX 8.229 9.30 -1.071
7. 1225 9.95 MICHAEL HARRIS TELFORD PA 8.916 9.95 -1.034

Also, the rules you posted are from the 2012 event.

I understand you accepted what you found in print but both instances were incorrect. Please don't diminish Drew's effort. The Ford guys, (including Jesse Kershaw), consider this one of their biggest events.

Well Brent, nobody is "diminishing" Drew's effort but the problem is with the NMRA not SuperFan1. Someone needs to be correcting them not someone who just takes the information they found on the internet and posting it here.
Maybe Ford Racing should have someone posting the information instead of a sanctioning body that doesn't appear to be able to get the facts straight...

Also, if things are like they were at Milan and Indy last year at least one of the fast cars is running a DOT radial, not slicks.

Other than weights, the event uses NHRA rules to the letter; both Skillman and Holbrook were on nine-inchers.

Also, please note my little report offered ETs against current NHRA Indices to avoid confusion since most folks here aren't familiar with the NMRA standards.

Just because it hasn't been done, doesn't make it impossible.
1320 / MPH = optimum ET
1320 / 160.58 = 8.22 ET

8.30's should be no problem.

9" tires may be the limiting factor in that.

[James Perrone]

Will it fit Comp? That would be cool.

[Chad Rhodes]

Does anyone else see the fact that this "stocker" could have set the record in SS/AA a few years ago as just WRONG?
