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.

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!

Areo just doesn't mean a new front end! It's all about aero balance. Low drag with the down force you need to keep the car hooked. Who stated it was the best car out there? Unless you ran all three in tha same wind tunnel on the same day no one can say one is better than the other.

I thought they would look better without the huge hood scoops, guess not in my opinion....yuck
As far as throwing out the non qualified ET's, I guess I never saw slower times in the "good session", although I don't really watch it that closely |

After its all said and done ,the 77 would have kept him in the number 16 spot anyway...but, I am not a fan of the 12 format either...maybe when there was 30 to 40 cars trying for a spot I get it..... but now

Just looks like the whole front end is as tall as an 8" cowl hood. The cars really look stupid now, at least to me. So much for the changes breathing new life into Pro Stock. At this rate, it will be on life support by season's end. Used to be the best class in drag racing, what many sportsman class racers dreamed of, the "big league".
