Ummm didn't John Calvert win the Winternationals in new 08 Cobra Jet Mustang?

The Challenger was at Mopars at The Strip in Vegas in March and at
that time was running AA/SA or A/SA, sorry I've slept since then.

Robert Pond went 9.72@ 137.60 at Pomona Winternationals 2009, and Ryan Maclanhan in his Firebird went 138.10

A/SA Fairlane said, "Ponds' record factored back to altitude says he put 135.25 on the score board. I have never seen anything higher than that. I find it amazing we see over 1200 views and no one can give an answer though?"

Here's an answer for you:

I was at the Ennis NHRA Points Race about three weeks ago, and at least ONE, but maybe BOTH of the 2008 CJ Mustangs broke 140mph in qualifying. It was on the qualifying printout from the tower that the DRAW booth sells to racers.

It looks like you need to reread the question Bill. Thanks to Chris Whitney for an accurate answer. Since I don't get Natl dragster anymore its tough to keep on on what people are running for speeds

Unless you have a heads up run or two on your way to the final!!
