Could you name some tracks and Division Directors that allow Tech to do that ??

ok the .4 was an exxageration. but you can set a record at an altitude factored track without putting the number on the board. and they are exempt from getting hit with HP. It is BS

This post is Bogus!!! Once again these cars have not done anything wrong but show potential. Robert Pond and Bobby DeArmond have been running nines for the last couple years and they haven't generated this kind of attention. Geez, this is ridicoulous!

Have either of them (DeArmond or Pond) ever run anything approaching 140 mph?

MPH is the telling number in drag racing. It is a lot more reliable as a horsepower-to-weight indicator than e.t. slips because bite will vary from track to track, and when the hook changes, so does the e.t., but the mph is a lot more constant, regardless of e.t. variations.

These cars have had very little development (track) time and are already running numbers that no one else can approach, with years of development. THAT is the problem; all provided by the 425hp factor that NHRA has bestowed upon them (and the 700+ horsepower they seem to be able to produce, at will.)

Given these circumstances. don't you think this situation is worthy of some discussion?

I do...

Good one Jack... I LMAO when I read that !!

Where we bracket race 85% of the time I spend "dumping" the other driver at the stripe, so I hear where you are coming from.

Jack,
CJ at Atco to the 1/8 = 6.16 et @ 111.86 mph. CJ at Dallas to the 1/8 = 6.210 et @ 110.01 mph and 1/4 = 9.794 @ 140.17 mph. Looks like the CJ at Atco could have gone close to 142 mph.

Smitty,
It may look like Ford and Mopar have pulled this stunt off but heads have begun to roll over this mess. Things can still change. How will it hurt you, if these cars are moved to another class?

The same thing they were smoking when they decreed that somebody driving a Stock Eliminator car needs to wear S.F.I. pants.... and that seat belts need replacing ever TWO years, when even NASCAR allows them to be used for FIVE....

Why is everyone so hung up on MPH. It's an elapsed time race not a high mph race.
Let's see what happens when they line up against another car in class. If they run too fast they will get hit.
I've built cars for the last 30 years and have always been short in mph. But (present car not counted) I've usually had the quickest car. Like my old partner Tex used to say "they blew by me at the last mph light (back when it was past the finish)
