Fastest Stocker Pass, Not New Cobra Jets

MPH is the standard by which HP can be measured more accuately; E.T. is subject to the hook factor to a much larger extent than mph.

If you want to compare the HP output of two car's engines, forget the e.t.... it's not a reliable indicator.

MPH is, within the aero variables.

Was it last week or the week before someone ran 138 or almost 139 @ Atco. Mite have been the Hemi.

Dunno, Bob, but it's moot... the CJ's are going 140+ at various locations.

Until they hook up better MPH is not important. I just see a lot of speculation and no actual damage to the whiners.

It's only important as an accurate indicator of how much HP they are putting to the ground.

If they don't hook, they'll never win anything...
