"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

Sorry, Jeff for my misinformation. I heard this from what I thought was a reliable source, but I apologize to you for posting just a rumor. I will try to make sure before I put anything else on that it is the truth.

Yep, the Mega Maniac has finally accomplished what Drooze said it would do, from the start. The record will likely settle in at around 10.04 and somewhere around 135/136 mph.

The record is isn't out out reach for a really fast legal A/SA car, since we really don't want horsepower. But it is stout enough to keep the pretenders on the curb watching the parade of real cars go by.

Drooze revenge is now in the record books.

Just a question, since when do you not want Horsepower??

Hello Irv,

We have run an awful lot of races, even winning Class in some, without getting horsepower...In fact we won the 2011 Class Performer in Stock Automatic, without many hits. And the ones we did get, were necessary to accomplish my plan. And now we have the A/SA record without getting horsepower.

But I can understand why you are upset... after being hammered on the 6.1 (lots of little hammers and one big hammer at the end.. ), and giving up on the 5.7 (where you were being nibbled to death by guppies), and then gotten hammered again on the 6.4 (two hits in 2 weeks = 200 lbs, ouch!), these Challengers must really give you heartburn by now.

Seems the Ford guys, well most of them, protect the index better than the Mopar guys. Maybe a Ford should be in your future?

As for me, I am looking at the new Camaros... Seems like they just might be fun. And if Chrysler won't/can't put a supercharger on a Drag Pak car, why not look to something that actually can compete with the Fords.

David, you probably are going to get hp at the end of year average`s, unless someone with your motor goes 1.20 under to get auto hp. Tom

At what temperature is a track too cold?

When:

It is ok for stock but not for top sportsman, TS got sent back, but we had to run.

It is ok for superstock but not for top dragster half the field did not make a good run.

The announcer warns super racers about dumping at the end of the track so their won't be a loss of life, limb, or equipment.

It could be a predetermined number set by the tire manufactures and the sanctioning bodys.

David, you can thump your chest all you want, but in MHO, you wouldn't know a real car unless it hit you in the *****. The people that made the real cars go fast (Keith included) know that it takes far more work than a BOGUS horsepower rating and stroking a check. ANYONE that chooses to do that can....and MANY can, but will not because they do not want to be a party to nhras' scam with Ford, Chrysler, and now GM. All of the heads up runs since these cars were allowed in Stock Eliminator have been GIFTS from nhra and there is nothing you can say to defend it. Maybe the new cars can make it on their own.....time will tell, but you have a long way to go to earn the respect of the hard working racers that got us to this point.

"Parade of real cars go by".....give me a break.
