Hmmmm, looks like Hagberg was farther under than all the CJ's, and Mike Jeffrey was ahead of him with a Slant 6 at 1.31 under.

I want to thank the first two posters for widening my horizon. I am sure they were both witness to the elusive 146 MPH Cobra Jet passes and have surely seen Bigfoot. I see there are four Cobra Jets at Great, Great, Great Bend, not to confused with Grand Bend. I see they have A/SA and AA/SA covered from 9.70 to 10.30. Funny everyone is going to the automatic trans.Wright and Ronzello seem to be the only stick Cobra Jet out there playing. I still think it will be fun to watch how the Challengers and Cobra Jets develop. I guess they both want to kick the sh**t out of them GM cars from the sixties and seventies. I like the headline in the Wall Street Journal today " Pontiac IS Going To The Junkyard". I guess this makes them permanent collector cars. Ford had the Edsel but GM wins the crown with Saturn, Hummer, Oldsmobile and now Pontiac.

Roger Banks is on the Great Bend qualifying sheets in A/S (11.50 altitude adjusted index); so he is also running a stick in his new CJ. At the conclusion of qualifying, he is #21 with a 10.371 (1.129 under).

...and Bill, Tom, James, Jami, John, Sam, Pete, Brad, Bob, Joe, Ron, Jim, Ben, Larry, Ken, Don, Darrel, Mel, Keith, my cousin's neighbor's sister's mother's brother's friend was ahead of him.........

Jeez. I just wanted to bring the four Cobra Jets to your attention. Four cars out of fifty that are actually racing and not stored in someones museum. I hope we can see another ten or fifteen and at least that many Challengers.

Funny...dosent Hagberg also have a "crate combo"? a Hemi that have 12.5 comp, .540 cam and are rated 27hp less than a 70-71 street Hemi with 10.5 comp and .470 lift ? not a good comparison if soo..

Oh no. That was a valid combination available from Chrysler. Dedman says so.
