"Short Live From" Norwalk Ohio - Cobra Jet Showdown
 

I know its only Cobra Jets and its the Cobra Jet Showdown, but many CJ's will be heading to Indy and thought some of you would be interested in how we are running.

It was 3000 ft today with a very stiff head wind. It was in the low 80's, a nice day for late summer in Norwalk.

Chris Holbrook went a 8.68 to take the poll.
Gary Richard is his new 2013 CJ went a 8.78, picture below.
Skillman went an 8.08 @ 170 in super stock trim.

There were others here heading to Indy, Jimmy Ronzello, and I also spoke to the Skinner's, father and son will be at Indy. Did not get a change to talk to them, but Al Smyth from Port A Tree with two cars driven by his daughter Allison an son Stephen. I also saw Al Corda and The Candies crew was also here with all of their cars.

The last three photos is the brand new 2014 Cobra Jet with a trick flat orange paint.

I hope to have so more photos tomorrow, but we will be heading to Indy right after eliminations. We start at 12 and should be done by 4.

What are the weighs of the cars running the Shootout?

Re: "Short Live From" Norwalk Ohio - Cobra Jet Showdown
 

Joe, for cj top stock, Holbrook and Richard had to weigh 3325. I don't know what weight they were at.

I was trying to post photos yesterday from the event but couldn't resize from my phone. It was a good day and excellent to catch up and talk with everyone. The Norwalk facility's and NMCA people have been great.

The in car cam is Chris Holbrook in his 2013 CJ running a 8.64 @ 160 in his last qualifying shot this morning. From what I here Chris is close to weight for the NHRA Factory Stock Showdown.

Gary Richard also went a 8.69 @ 158.

That's awesome!!! Congrats to the Skillman's!

They are posted somewhere on NMCA web page under the Cobra Jet Showdown...pretty light minimums.

I had posted a while back on a different thread that the current rules actually penalize those that have left their cars in unmodified condition.

Qualifying sheet has that as a coyote car. Is that legit? Seems damn fast for a 2.9 blower!
