Can they win?
 

Do you think that cars/trucks from say M/S and slower has much of a chance anymore to win an eliminator title a National or Divisional? I know there are a couple exceptions,but in general what do you think,and why?

Ask Jody Lang. He has finished in the top ten national and division points standings for as long as I can remember. Good dialing and good driving at both ends of the track is what it takes to turn the win light on. A little bit of luck goes a long way also!

Sure. I had a R/U at a Pro-Am, and a Win, a R/U, and a semi at a S/SS Combos this year with my 4-cyl FWD FF/SA Turismo. Was still in at 5 cars in the Combo in the Hills gamblers race when it rained out. Won the Farmington Race of Champions in March, and won the Footbrake Champions Showdown there last November.

Ok, so none of them were "a win at a Nat'l or Div'l", but I think the record clearly shows that those results a clearly attainable.

The stats don't show up with the slow cars winning as much anymore because there simply aren't as many of them anymore.

I predict there will be no NHRA National event wins with a 13.99 or slower car in 2012.

( A few weeks ago,I thought the Chicago Bears were going to make the playoffs)
