Evan Smith posted some good pics on FB, including a FSXX (presumably) time slip of 7.85 letting off at 156....WOW...and Jim Nichols running his Hemi AA/SA (the ex-Jim Bailey car). Realize FB is a swamp in need of drainage but sure see some good stuff occasionally.

And for anyone like me who is not in Facebook, here's a video of the 7.82 pass in YouTube...






Going to be a very interesting FS/XX season!

That is why I only follow the drag race pages on FB

A few more photos from Evan Smith. The new Ford Whipple Supercharger, intercooler is now on the top. Last photo speaks for itself, Jerry says it Skinner?....might be.

It's sad to see NHRA continuing to change the rules and allow parts that weren't on cars when they were built. This class is going the same direction as Pro Stock with the continued "rules creeping/bending of the rules".

I don’t think that new blower has been approved yet.

Since they don’t have an official rules package for FS it makes you wonder if at least some of the teams haven’t been given “preliminary” approval. Saw a pic on FB where Gray Motorsports showed their newly arrived pallets full of the Whipple superchargers.

FWIW I stay out of the political BS on FB but with so many tracks using it to communicate schedules, informative technology pages and active FSS/Stock/ etc pages it definitely pays off...you just block what kind of stuff you don’t want to see.

More testing and the numbers get quicker and quicker. I also have it on good authority that a Stanfield COPO went a 7.74 in Houston.
