He made a good clean run last night.

'splain to me why session 2 6.77 don't count, Charlie qualifies with 6.8something
Stupid NHRA, I know the top 12 qualify initially, but they "throw out" early runs?

If your not in the Top 12 after the first 2 qualifying sessions, the runs are thrown out. NHRA did this a few years back, to prevent the whole field from being set in the good air during the Friday Night Session.

he said he could make a hemi run, the west coast and east coast guys laughed at him ... then he kicked thier asses....

ill bet he gets this thing flying too... he is smart and works his *** off > tough combination to outperform ...

and i notice he is only one out there spending HIS money... all the haters just wannabes

Charlie is fighting a up hill battle. Could be down as much as 70 hp and with a very bad car aero wise as Larry found it the body has issues. Ford will not step up and do a 2016 car which is what needs to be done even if they had someone to do it! They spent their wad on LeMans!

Where did you see the Mustang was bad aero wise? Larry got a different front end approved, and it was the best out there.

The qualifying format they have now was new news in 2008. I still don`t like it.

Possible bad news Charlie was charged with an oildown on his last qualifier.
