It's sad to see NHRA continuing to change the rules and allow parts that weren't on cars when they were built. This class is going the same direction as Pro Stock with the continued "rules creeping/bending of the rules".

I don’t think that new blower has been approved yet.

Since they don’t have an official rules package for FS it makes you wonder if at least some of the teams haven’t been given “preliminary” approval. Saw a pic on FB where Gray Motorsports showed their newly arrived pallets full of the Whipple superchargers.

FWIW I stay out of the political BS on FB but with so many tracks using it to communicate schedules, informative technology pages and active FSS/Stock/ etc pages it definitely pays off...you just block what kind of stuff you don’t want to see.

More testing and the numbers get quicker and quicker. I also have it on good authority that a Stanfield COPO went a 7.74 in Houston.

Someone else posted that is was a Stanfield combination.

Your are correct Brett, I don't know why I wrote the wrong name. Not paying attention when I type, thanks man. I believe it was Steven Bell.

16 mph on the back half? Are they lifting?

Skinner definitely lifted. In the video, the car appears to be moving around a bit around half track; shortly thereafter he lifted. That's a mid to high 7.70 if he doesn't lift.
