I have just a smidge more respect for them because they don't have a blower on them.

A/SA class run off's are a friggin' joke. Look at the MPH and et's on the DP Challengers. They are all over the planet. Dale they ARE just as bad as the blown Fords. It just amazes me that some think that just because they are fast with a grossly under rated car that they are such great engine builders and drivers.

And the sad part is that the 6.1 DP is not the soft combo it's just one of many, if you look up the rest of the crate engines from mopar or ford there are some that are evan softer than that, like somebody said these folks aren't great drivers or engine builder they have BIG WALLETS but like to think they are good drivers or engine builder, But it's not really there fault it's NHRA's fault for not getting a little closer on the HP, and when i mean alittle closer i mean like 50 to 100HP more on some of them!!!!

That would really be something if it was a REAL CAR that went that fast..

Ken, last fall at the Bowling Green Combo race Doug Duell had to race Thomas Arrnett heads up first round in A/SA. Arrnett 10.15 @ 128, Duell 9.72 @ 132 and Doug was in bracket mode.

Dale, I have been fish food at the races for quite some time. Santa never came and Bill will not give me a copy of the "Goat" picture.

I was hoping to see even more DP and CJ cars show up so they might step it up a bit and maybe show a tad closer as to just how much they have left....Anyway, that's a helluva run by Irv Johns' car....he surely has put the work into his pkg....however, the Wallys haven't been given out yet, though....good luck to everyone in the field.....WJ

Fred Hensen went 9.89 in 2007. Got instant hp the next week.

Larry I was sorry to hear about your motor, I was looking forward to seeing you and Patsy at Charlotte, all kidding a side it is hard to compare a race car like yours and the old CJ's to this new cars that are so under rated. It looks like no one knows what to do, but after a few EGO's get done with them they wont be able to run Stock. Santa will come but its going to be the presents for the new cars that will be for you.

Deep pockets can definately help you go fast, but to win an eliminator title you have to be able to drive. Most of these guys who post big numbers are usually long gone by the semi's.

I love Mopars but how can you call a car that Is'nt really street legal that comes with a Caravan axle in place of the rear end a Stock Eliminator car???????????????????
