Lol People coming in to try to kick sand in the face of the new car racers but then say new car owners demand attention?!?!
The CJ cars are teched going off NHRA stock/Super Stock rules. They changed up the weights this year a little bit and allowed tubular K-Members. Looking at the rules and Jesse stating the minimum weight that would mean Holbrook ran it as a 13 with a 3.5 upper pulley. (10.0 index according to qualifying. http://www.nmradigital.com/cat/class...5-cobrajet.pdf) Which would mean that there is still more power left because the 14 pulley is a 3.375. Holbrooks car is more as the factory produced then the other car. Smaller tire, more weight, larger car, stock suspension, less cubic inches, with factory cylinder heads…Just Saying ![]() I prefer to be blown…but I dig NA cars too.

All Cobra Jets must meet NHRA rules to run the Showdown. The race itself takes on different weight breaks per engine combos per Ford Racing's recommendations.

If I was in the business of promoting Ford racing, and strictly Ford. When I put on a race to show how fast they are, I just might make the scales 100lbs heavy. Its fair for everyone competing, but it sure does make it seem like these fords are really fast. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, I'm just saying, its possible that this run isn't at weight, doesn't have the correct pulley and all that Sh+t!

Does anybody know if Suh signed with the Dolphins? It's going to be in the 40's here in Detroit. I hope they found the lost Siberian Husky. Hijack, what hijack?

Hey guys, just wanted to tell you I took my super stocker out to the local track and ran a 9.44 in a car that usually is legal for GT/GA. Please, everyone be happy for me that I took my Super Stocker out, removed all the weight, threw another carb on it and then went really really fast in good air. I'm gonna post that in the STOCK/SUPER STOCK section and be mad when someone tells me about another car that did the same thing in legal trim at a real STOCK/SUPER STOCK event.

Thanks Brett for sharing the time with us so we could applaud a gentlemen's hard work, time, and effort to make a car preform at the highest level. Since we believe that "real" stockers and super stockers do the same has to be the reason you posted it in this category and once the race he was at follows the same NHRA rules is most likely another. Being that I do drive a new car and I am very interested in great times no matter who, what, when, or where I say thanks!
I do not speak for everyone in this matter nor a spokes person for New Car owners. Joseph Teuton (I approve this message) ![]()
