I'm no Stock insider, but I was surprised to see that a quick B-car was only 1.42 to 60'.

My 10.30 bracket car does that with a 1.80 glide and 4.30 rear gear.

Back tires.

Hey all, I could not get info and photos like I wanted to. I have issues with my car and I'm trying to get it fix. I did get one shot of what looks like a division 7 race. Its nice to see the west coast guys out here. No Factory Showdown cars broke 7 seconds today in qualifying, maybe tomorrow.

I will post some photos between now and Indy. Evan Smith is here covering this race and he has some great shots that I can post for everyone. I will be at Indy covering the race even If I can not get my car fixed. I have media credentials and will cover the race.

Evan Smith sent me some photos of Stock and Super Stock. For some who do not know NMCA has a Stock Super Stock Combo. For anyone close to a NMCA event you should give it a shot. If felt like a NHRA race, it was packed with cars, I would say 400 plus easy. Although most of the cars are dedicated NMCA classes, there were about 120 NHRA class cars here. That would included the old and new Cobra Jets and the Factory Stock Showdown cars. When you see 600 plus cars at Bowling Green along with all the racing going on in the country, it confirms that drag racing is a live and well with lots of options.

I was very impressed with the turnout for the 50th anniversary Cobra Jet. We had 40 plus old CJ's competing and 40 plus new CJ's competing with over 70 show car CJ's. It was a great show and I have to thank Steve Wolcott president of NMCA and the entire staff for putting on a great show. Along with the Bader's you could not ask for a better run race.

Mike Pustelny of the world famous MPR chassis shop picked up all the marbles at the Cobra Jet 50th Anniversary event. He took out everybody in the Modern Cobra Jet Class and then went on to win the old vs. new Cobra Jet Class. Of course with the help of his friend and engine builder Jim Ronzello.

Hats off to Mike Delahanty and crew for all of their efforts at the 50th. CJ Reunion. What a great event!! Mike also did a great job Friday evening speaking at the dinner!! If you are a CJ fan/owner and didn't attend this event you really missed out.
