The first or worst red light isn't even close to the same thing as what could happen here, sense these new cars are going to affect the AA thru B classes then it should concern these guys, but if you really want to rock the boat then go ahead and kill stock by making all cars be newer than 2000 then poor old Eddy and Bushwacker can feel the pain these guys are going to feel.

Here's a video of what looks to be Calvert's car:

13 2008 Cobra Jet Mustangs were delivered by Varsity Ford today. All 13 are NHRA legal for AA/S and A/S.

Chad Rhodes · 01-24-2009, 05:38 PM

so 1/4 of these cars went to one dealership? yea that seems right

Bruce/Alan,

I'll lay even odds that these cars will be begging for their own heads-up class in short time. You have to give Ford credit, they have really outdone themselves this time....talk about overkill!!! All I can say is, "good luck getting these cars down the track at full steam!" I'll believe it when I see it. These cars will have to have at least a 10.5" tire and that means their own class.
I was just getting started on one of those paper cars that Larry Hill loves so much... that project just got ****-canned.
Good luck racing these guys till they get their own class and unfortunately that won't happen till one or more of them hits the wall out pass the 300' mark. It should be interesting to see how that supercharger responds to blimping the throttle at the stripe.

Chuck, I give Ford and Roush all the credit in the world, they've created an impressive monster. I really look forward to seeing them race. I just think that much like the T-Bolt, and the HemiCuda and HemiDart, among others, they should be the class they fit, not just dropped into a class because they want to be there.

And if Chevy came in with a 650+ HP (under rated)LSx stuffed in a light Camaro, I'd want it in a class it belonged in. In fact, Chevy did a poll about the Camaro in Stock, and the majority voted for an LSx that actually fit AA Stock, as opposed to one of the big supercharged 650HP engines. Of course, that may never come to pass.

Red, I really think you are one of the guys Ford should have stepped up to help with a new CJ.
