I have 2011 #15. I plan on bracket racing it locally. I thought it might be fun to go to an NHRA race and run SS (I've never done that before) but my license has expired and there isn't a track here in Arkansas to get it renewed. I couldn't be competitive with other SS/DA cars but it will run under the index. Just a thought.

David, you've made a massive investment. Why would you park it?

(I run a 5.9L DragPak in Super Stock GT, so I'm obviously not "piling on" or "hating on Mopars")

Rick, 9.50 on a 10.20 index will be competitive. You need to get the cage certified, other than that you are ready.

Exactly Michael... Why would I? Other than the economy and other conditions.... but it is that with a lot of racers.

And I certainly realize that you are not piling on..

As for me, I wish all of the best to all of the racers. Old cars or new. But time/history does repeat itself, and we are simply in another one of those cycles. But many still resist change of any kind. So be it.. But to quote a Star Trek enemy's warning, resistance is futile...

It sounds like the DP Challengers might be getting close to their "correct" HP factors when they start complaining about their factors. I suppose Barton helped out in that area. So, I guess that just leaves the CJs to bee itch about.

Almost all the new cars are in AAA,BBB,CCC, or AA. Or like the 6.1 and 6.4 are one hp away from getting in A heavy. The fords are way up there, The bowties, if and when, will run up there too, so now go back to where you were two years ago and continue. The Fords got alm heads, so do the chevys, not fair, Mopar needs new heads, people have hit combos too hard in the past, Bob Dennis has combos that don't exist, they were paper cars, or cardboard cars, copo cars (footnote to history, any dealer that ordered one of these special cars got a call from the zone office,'do you really want this car?') yall know the drill.
