I agree with Ron running high HP cars is a lot of fun.

This was a NMRA race. NHRA had nothing to do with it. You can not set NHRA records at a NMRA race. Bob

I couldnt agree more.....bikes too....

Im thinking Stock Eliminator is a bit slow for me at times :eek: But then again the Challengers got a bit to go before its in the 8's

Well see in August I think 250+ Will be fun.........Then again Ill probably wear a depends just in case it scares the , stuffing outta me.

(On one of my cars I taped a Diaper and a "Camping" ash tray, my dad said I understand the diaper. But I dont understand the ash tray, I said well if I die in the car in a blaze of fire, you can just shake the car a bit and remove the ash tray, no cremation needed)

(To any who question my sanity or what Im saying my tounge is firmly impanted in my cheek at the moment, well except for august and 250+)

Look around at some of the outlaw heads up classes. There are cars on 26 x 8.5" slicks running mid to low 5 sec 1/8 mile times. The mustang stock suspension is a great working piece also. Lots of cars running fast with stock suspension.

Good point.

[QUOTE=Ed Fernandez;188312]I guess you have never bracket raced a dragster with a door car. Test and tune generally pairs up door cars and dragsters. What's the big deal? Ask your insurance man, drag racing is termed "a high risk sport". I think you stand a better chance of being hit by a meteor than having a CJ take out your land barge. Maybe it's just me...........

Re: Aa/s stock (?) mustang
 

[QUOTE=FECARMAN;188461] It probably is just you.I bracket raced steady from 1978 to 1993 and there were quite a few incedents when the classes were changed to Super going to low 7s against high 12 sec cars.Also Pro from low 9s to 13.99 I think.
BTW if you've seen the CJ in question in person I'm sure your opinion would be a bit different.

Re: Aa/s stock (?) mustang
 

[QUOTE=Ed Fernandez;188464]I have seen the CJ's numerous times at the high end. I'm still betting on the meteor. We all have an opinion. By the way safety has changed a lot since 1978, especially tires, brakes,suspension and roll cages. I don't believe there is anything to compare between 1978 and 2010 that would be remotely close. Who would have gone 6.0's on narrow tires in 1978 or 1993. MY roll cage will not protect you but my tires, brakes and suspension surely will when you are in the slower car.

Re: Aa/s stock (?) mustang
 

At 140mph things happen really fast and those lanes swap postions damned quickly. Just think how fast you can travel that 40' between the two cars if your running 30 mph faster than to other lane.

Yepper....then I got smart and moved out of that Dem. state that taxed me to death.
