Team Mopar Records Unofficial Fastest Pass in Pro Stock Hist - Page 2

Allan Johnson has always been fast. Lots of fast runs this time of the year. Who's fastest now is often not the fastest at Pomona. And, geez, so many of you MOPAR guys are strange. Should be more about the racers, not the name on the valve covers. Not many actual MOPAR or GM parts on those cars anyway. Mostly aftermarket. They just kinda resemble a given brand. I hear Pontiac guys the same way. Very strange. Those things are just dumb iron.

I like Allen Johnson, but last year during testing it was the same thing from him. BIG numbers but all of a sudden when Pomona came around he was a middle of the pack guy.

Stock/Superstock Forum?
Don't care about Pro Stock.

The 60 ft is important but the big telling numbers are 60 to 330 and 330 to 660 numbers!

Ed,
Are you as interested in Pro Stock as you once where?
As they have evolved into barely recognizable cars and also lost the active manufacturer's rivalry aspect of the class, I have lost interest.
Restrict it to recognizable Camaros, Challengers and Mustangs and I'm in.

Yes I am. From where do you think much of our new technology trickles down? Thinner rings? Large journal core cams & roller cam bearings, Homda (now BMW) rods, etc. they were doing it way before we were. I don't care what they look like, don't care if they all looked exactly alike. The technology is what interests me. I can't imagine anybody not being impressed with the power levels, and the fact that they keep increasing them within the same engine rules. I personally care nothing for the fuel cars, Alky cars, pro mods, etc. nothing but track oilers. Fast NA gasoline engines interest me. That, and I have long time friends that moved up to Pro Stock.
