Greg Turk’s DragPak. Only FS Mopar to mount a serious challenge to the COPO’s and Mustangs. There was a Frequent Flyer feature on it in ND a few months ago. Very cool.

Is this Blackbird in Stock or S/S?

Factory Stock. Quickest run in the class so far.

Just what Stock eliminator needs, a 170 MPH player. When will this madness stop?

First congrats to the stock and super stock winners, Mr. Fuller and Mr. McBean and to the #1 qualifier in stock, Gary Summers (nice 1.675 under : -) )

Second, thanks for all the acknowledgment and support. We didn’t quite make it to the 7s but we will keep trying to improve.

There are many, many who have contributed and are the real ‘skunkworks’ who truly deserve the credit for making the Blackbird fly. They include first and foremost, my wife and best ever independent racing consultant, Sandy; Mike Roth at MR2 Performance/ JR1 Oil; Tony Bischoff and the team at BES Racing Engines; Jason Coan and Coan Racing; Dale Aldo at Mopar, the SRT Engineering team (Mike Rossey, Eric Cunningham and Ben Reedy) and Robin Lawrence and the team at Holley EFI and many more.

I agree with what many believe, that these SC cars running in the Showdown should be seperate from Stock. We are very happy that’s the way NHRA has gone. We look forward to running those events, going faster and going rounds in 2018. Of course we will run a few Divisionals / Opens where we will likely qualify in stock but, as always, with no real intent to run in an eliminator I feel this car should not compete in. With the NHRA and NMCA schedules, I think we will have plenty of opportunity to compete and give it our best. Thanks again.

LOL...you can tell I took a lot of flights in my time with Boeing. It really was a great article and congrats to Geoff and the whole team. Look forward to seeing the Blackbird out there flying again next year.
