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.

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

Congrats to Charlie for making the field at the first 2 national events that he has entered. He is not the fastest but was not the slowest either. He is a popular underdog. Hopefully he got some good data from that two races he has been to so he can improve.

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".

Yeah let's have some drag racing welfare, some sharing of the wealth. I have no love for Anderson and co. but they're getting it done. Either they have it figured out or they're cheating their asses off. I think they're just ahead of the curve.
