I agree with Ed on the tech stuff, that is why I keep an eye on Comp also.

The technology is what interests me. I can't imagine anybody not being impressed with the power levels, and the fact that they keep increasing them within the same engine rules. I personally care nothing for the fuel cars, Alky cars, pro mods, etc. nothing but track oilers. Fast NA gasoline engines interest me. That, and I have long time friends that moved up to Pro Stock.

Point very well taken. The technology aspect certainly interests me but from a purest point of view it just doesn't have the impact of Dodge versus Chevy or Ford that it once had and the personalities of some these guys today is obnoxious. Just my two cents.

As a diehard Ford fan; I am very happy with Larry Morgan's 6.498@211.46. Hopefully he will be a top half car this year.

That's an excellent pass from a pro stock team. They've certainly achieved their goal of getting press coverage for the sponsor. But as someone mentioned earlier, big numbers this time of year are not uncommon considering the weather and track conditions. Although I have great respect for that team the the technology they are exploiting, the numbers themselves don't mean a whole lot without fuel check, scales and NHRA tech. Qualifying at Pomona will show everyone how fast they are in the real world. Personally, I'm looking for some surprises out of Mike Edwards.

Next thing you know, somebody will be posting about Courtney Force.

Frank, those cars are less than 10% Ford, Dodge, Chevy. The rest is aftermarket. One brand versus another doesn't interest me at all. Don't really care about that. If you run a stocker the technology may not interest you. Most SS & Comp guys care.

Racers running stock have a lot to learn from the Pro Stock guys. A lot of the same technology applies. Some just don't realize it.

You guys know the head off a ford and dodge will interchange except for valve covers right. All the clutches are a neutral pattern on the crank. They are high dollar Air Pumps with a sticker on it. Why do you think the heads will interchange between the ford and dodge, well it made the switch easy for Larry Morgan.

When they go through NHRA tech, fuel, weight, and the spoiler and templant system, then run that fast I will believe it!
