Clearly a hit on the projected performance of the 351, not what it has actually done to date.

The fix is in. Never happen but I wish everyone would just stay home and let Schumacher race himself.

They keep it up and the millionaires will take their toys and go home. Don’t mean to sound childish, just hope NHRA is in constant dialogue with the teams otherwise frustration will peak.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

It's just completely beyond ridiculous.

Gators they were 25 thou behind the best COPO. COPO loses blower OD anyway.

Charlotte, they were 23 thou behind the best COPO. COPO loses blower OD anyway.

Virginia they just had a bad race. Out 60 footed everyone except Skinner yet were a tenth behind the best CJ/COPO at the stripe. That wouldn't have happened if they were good passes, as they could previously hang with the COPO before the 2 pulley changes. Yet they still get a gift given to them.

The NHRA guy on the podcast said they wanted these cars to run high 7.90s in mineshaft air and they would slow them down to that. Well a DP ran 7.85 in worse than mineshaft air at the Gators, yet they never attempted to slow them down, and now quite the opposite.

Fezell is the one guy who has run the 351, he's been nearly 2 tenths behind the top cars, and he loses blower OD too?

Any of this seem logical at all?

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Time to just race in the NMCA. From what I've heard they aren't making anymore changes over there. DSR can't control them. Better track prep and payout too. This is ridiculous what the NHRA has allowed DSR to do.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Fezell is running the old 5.4 (331) motor.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

I've heard it stated both ways, that it is the 331/TVS and the 351/2.9. Maybe both have been used this year? Regardless, there's still no justification for taking blower OD from the 351/2.9.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Don Fezell runs the 331 combination with the 2.3 liter supercharger and smaller throttle body; he does not run the 351. His combination will remain unchanged as stated in the article.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

He did tell me in Richmond he had a new motor coming. Not sure if it was the 351?

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Mr. Turk said on Facebook yesterday that no one is running the 351, but someone has been on the dyno with one. He did not say who.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Mr. Danner. To keep everyone competing in this class there will be adjustments made to keep ALL contestants on an equal level. This was made last year when the Drag Pak had an advantage and now NHRA has done the same again. I know you would be happiest if it was an all Ford field, but that is not going to happen

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Dyno, last year's Dodge adjustment did nothing !

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Well, nice of you to make assumptions about what would make me happy, however you might read some of what I wrote. I'll do it again just for you.

Gators, best DP runs within 25 thou of the best COPO. COPO loses blower OD.

Charlotte, best DP runs within 23 thou of the best COPO, i.e. slowed basically as much as the COPOs even though no rule change for the DPs. Somehow COPO loses blower OD yet again.

Virginia, DPs slowed a greater amount than both the COPOs and the CJs even though, again, no rule change for the DPs. Yet somehow DP gets rewarded with a weight break.

Why is the car which has not been penalized repeatedly slowing more than the cars which actually are penalized? All appearances are that hasty rule changes were made based on cars that were not performing at the level which they have previously displayed.

Right now the DP is in exactly the same configuration in which it has ran 7.85 EXCEPT it is now 75 lbs lighter. Meanwhile the current configs of the CJ and COPO have ran bests of 7.94 and 7.95 respectively.

100% correct

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Sooooo, who's the better sandbagger?

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Maybe they will let me win someday!!! HaHaHa

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Lighten those Dodges up for Indy.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Donnie and Mike Lewis must be. Crying to NHRA with its my time to win!

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Dodge has got the biggest engine and Schumacher got the deepest pockets what's the problem that he can't Run with the Ford micro motor he's a crybaby

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Saving it all for Indy then watch them fly.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

If they keep giving them gifts every race they should be able to run with the fords and chevys by then

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

MPH tells the truth.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Sure does. DPs ran 173 last year, 173 again at the Gators, 174 at zMAX, then down to 170 in VA.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

Only down 6-8 MPH. It looks like a tire pressure adjustment will fix that.

Re: Let Schumacher's cars win, or else
 

I found out at the Maple Grove LODRS that it is the 351. May have it at Topeka, if not; should have it at Norwalk.
