Some of these cars have some tech problems already and it will be interesting to see whether Ford and nhra make them go away.

Yes they have yet to go down the track in NHRA-style,but the drivers know the game this time..they wont go out and make faster runs than needed is my guess..tests at other tracks may show someting.....FORD has probably "invested" in this ..and NHRA has made sure they will have a good chance to come out on top in thier first outing..I have to think a little like Bruce that many upper class racers that not really are Bracket racers but more "Classracers" will have enough if these cars are faster right off the bat...with pontential to dominate for years to come by by "racing smart" and adding the knowledge you get when racing them..I know i would...your hard work over decades could be wiped out in 9.5 seconds at Pomona..The LT1 is 66 hp more than when it came along..and still keep getting horsepower...this one seem to have even more in the bag!
It may show at Pomona..or not..but given the engine specs..well the few ones there are..these will fly if thats what they decide to do!!
