I'd ask the same question... How do they get these tires to hook??

What a cool class !!!!!!!!!!!! Great Idea.

That is just plain awesome..

Through the manifold, stock exhaust and mufflers... on crappy bias ply tires..

Awesome

When these guys were in the 11s it was awsome,now look.I would imagine they have to have role bars now?They let them in the 10.98s without but I think this must have changed.These cars are near perfect condition cars so I would imagine cutting holes for a bar must have been painful.I really liked the Buick of Greg Gessler and a 71 Vette that did well.Nice to see stockers run fast.

Could this be what NHRA stock will become in the future? Its getting there already except for the unlimited cu. inches......lol.

Getting them to hook seems unlikely but look at that '71 Mustang with air under the right front tire! Unbelievable.
Imagine what nothing but a set of headers and slicks would do? But I like the concept of pure stock appearance and the ingenuity of these guys.
