...…the Dodges are .15 - .20 slower than the Chevy's and the Ford. Is NHRA happy now? Jim

Re: Apparently......
 

The Dodges are faking it ! How did they lose 2 tenths over the last 2-3 weeks ?

Re: Apparently......
 

Absolutely, Just playin the game !!!!!

Re: Apparently......
 

Not to worry Jim; Kevin will get it done

Only 16 cars showed up at Dallas, which is surprising to me since they've actually been giving the FS cars some TV time. Also wondered if perhaps NHRA told Joe Welch to not bother showing up the rest of the year.

Re: Apparently......
 

When I looked at Dallas qualifying, I thought I'd missed more weight being put on the Mopar cars.

This is starting to look more and more like the V&H Harley deal where performance seemed to be rationed for a sort of chess match.

But especially in light of another recent thread, this appears to be the new style of racing. It's not so much building something the best you know how as it is simply letting out just enough power to stay a half step ahead.

Not saying it's wrong or right because that argument will never get settled - just way different from the mindset I saw when I started in the 1960s

Re: Apparently......
 

They are racing for their championship at this race-this is it. Why would they "bag"? Let it all hang out in elims? A little chancey, but they all get in with 16 cars. Hmmmm........

Re: Apparently......
 

Extremely hot and humid. Lots of tire spin. Nobody is holding anything back at the last race!

Re: Apparently......
 

Please don't tell me that you think 50 pounds slowed them down that much? so they lost a tenth in one race? SMH LOL

Re: Apparently......
 

Do we really need to rehash this topic every single time a Dodge has trouble getting down the track???

Re: Apparently......
 

I just hope we can keep the Mopar guys "off the ledge" when the Dodges have a bad run.

Re: Apparently......
 

C-o-n-s-p-i-r-a-c-y!

Re: Apparently......
 

and it was only 25 Lbs added weight to the Hemis (-25 off the other combos ) that will not make that much of a difference. Everybody was spinning and the weather was hot. It's really hard to get anything on 9" tires. let's see how they do today with some tuning and adjustments. Still fun to watch Factory stock then prostock.

Re: Apparently......
 

Watch Leahs MPH --- also her ET's--talking about holding back ??? FED 387

Re: Apparently......
 

This is worse than when the Kelvinators got more lift n an intake !!! The damage is already done !!! Get out your 85b and mill off your intake flanges before it too late !!!

Re: Apparently......
 

An .07 and a couple .10's wins the Championship AND the race. Looks like keeping the right lane was key.

Re: Apparently......
 

Still fun to watch Factory stock then prostock. Camorostock ,,,,,,99% camaro,s in prostock,if your a mopar,or ford person why watch ,

Re: Apparently......
 

Everybody still thinks adding 25lbs. hurt these Mopars.

I very much doubt it when Leah ran quicker than everyone else except for 1 Rd.

Re: Apparently......
 

Apparently the MOPARS were fast enough to win the championship. Thanks for bringing the weight situation to our attention. I will sure will be able to sleep better tonight.
