I just read that Gary Wolkwitz ran 8.21.

Two new stockers at Englishtown just went 8.38.
Put 10.5 tires on them and they could possibly outrun all the hemi's.

How about putting 9" tires on the hemi car's and see what they can do?

I am a native "West Virginia Hillbilly" from Grafton, WV, home of Wild Bill Collett . He and his Hillbilly are the main reason I ever got into drag racing, so I mean no disrespect to any of the Hemi's. I love them and I have been to races with him for many years and always enjoy watching those cars run.

Let's appreciate both types of cars for the amazing race cars that they are. The Factory Stock Showdown and the Hemi Challenge are the main reasons why I go to Indy every year; so let's enjoy their amazing performances without being critical of either type of car.
