Will the Mustang have to move up to R/SA?

Wouldn't anywhere between -1.093 and-1.199 have accomplished the same #1 position without the 11 horsepower?

Already beat to death one combo with the Maverick (according to the for sale advertisement) why do it again?

Because she can. That combo has many variables within it's engine/body style. The Graham's have run under so many times and just blast the index, I believe that they just like running fast and darn the index. A true sportsman in a performance category. Maybe Billy Nees or Mr Graham can tell us all the possible combos for just U/SA with that Ford. They can run one combo into oblivion and just change to another variable. My hats off to them. It is not their fault that NHRA has set that engine HP rating.

U/SA weight vs HP

BJ and Mike are the top of the class. In racing and in person.

Wasn.t too much fun watching from the other lane when I had to run these let's say "factored correct" combos for class when I ran my 6 cylinder gremlin ( the bright bulbs in Glendora were kind enough to lower my HP to, get this, 155 from the original 160) . That was with a Carter BBD 2 bbl. that was more suitable to put on a lawn mower. Great fun having them pacing me the whole 1/4 mile.

I’ve had the privilege of racing with the Graham’s for the last 3 years and I must say they are definitely the nicest and hardest working people I know in stock and super stock. Congrats on winning class and qualifying # 1 in Vegas! Good luck at the division race this weekend see you guys next week!
