And maybe some SuperCar races at different tracks. I am hoping this grows. We learned plenty from Top Stock, what to do and not do, so I am hoping for longevity, but I do know the pitfalls of Top Stock and SS/AH. Sorta like the old cars of the 60's, and maybe with a new crowd that knows more about computers than heads. Any interest jefft@southlanddodge.com 985-804-6161 cell or business 888-876-1817 leave a message with the receptionist, but tell her it is about racing. More as it unfolds.

the rules seem to be somewhat like stock i guess but i haven't seen anything about possoble payouts. any thing on that yet? live action

[Frank Castros]

Combine a SS/AH HEMI Shootout with one of these shows and the stands will be full.
Can this be the beginning of the salvation for SS/STK?

[Jeff Lee]

I'm assuming no races west of Denver?

[Ed Fernandez]

Will 1/8 mile racing REALLY show the potential of these cars????????????????????

[Pentastar340]

Has 1000' shown the real potential of TOP FUEL? Give them time.

[JeremyDuncan]

Thought I would look up the best 1/8mile incrementals for the different supercar combos from the 2011 US Nationals:

Drew Skillman AA/sa 2010 331 SC CJ 6.050@ 116.59 3695 lbs min wt

Bo Butner AA/sa 2010 331 SC CJ 6.037 @ 114.60 3695 lbs min wt

Evan Smith AA/sa 2008 331 SC CJ 6.019 @ 113.52 3550 lbs min wt

Don Fezell AA/s 2008 331 SC CJ 6.053 @ 116.98 3730 lbs min wt

Andy Durham AA/sa 2011 512 v10 Drag Pak 6.107 @ 112.44 3590 lbs min wt

Irvin Johns B/sa 2010 392 Drag Pak 6.342 @ 107.13 3560 lbs min wt


Any info about what the min weights were at the time of runs would be good to know!
* I have figured out the Min wts. Not positive they are correct.*

[JeremyDuncan]

What the hell figured I would correct the 1/8 mile ET's from the above list using their min wt at the 2011 US nats to the new Supercar weights:


1) Fezell 2008 331 SC CJ - 6.001- stick
2) Butner 2010 331 SC CJ - 6.008
3) Teutons' 2011 v10 DP - 6.011
4) Durham 2011 v10 DP - 6.016
5) Barton 2010 370 DP - 6.014
6) Skillman 2010 331 Sc CJ- 6.021
7) Smith 2008 SC CJ- 6.084
8) Lynch 2010 345 DP- 6.108
9) Johns 2010 392 DP- 6.141
10) Richards 2010 428 CJ - 6.145
11) Helms 2010 370 DP - 6.300- stick

With the purposed weight breaks Jeff posted looks pretty fair on the surface but !! As every one knows the car that David Barton drove at Indy was at least 2 tenths faster then he showed. That would put the mopar in the 5.90 range . Ford needs some help . The 428 and 352 could not get close to the mopars and the SC mustangs would need help as well .

Jeff how about 3550 for the SC mustang and 3100 for the 428 and 3000 for the 352 just to make it fair

[D1Martel]

I just saw a 428 Mustang go 9.57 @ B weight in fall testing, don't think the Mustangs need any help.
