One more time: How long do you think those blown Mustangs are going to allow this old Chevy to keep this record?

It will boil down to whether and when their egos overrule their common sense, I guess. I'd bet all I own that they can reset this much-discussed record anytime it strikes their fancy... Like I said, "136 mph is a long way from 140."

True, they haven't hooked one of these powerhouses up in 60-feet, yet, but I wouldn't bet that they won't, given the motivation. With 700+ horsepower, and an NHRA factor of 425, how can they NOT run roughshod over Sorensen, Shaul, and anyone else that attempts to dominate AA/SA?

And, when it happens, all this angst about the legality of the semi-hemi will be thrown into a cocked hat.

Look for it at a strip near you, soon, unless I miss my guess... Somebody will turn one loose.
