"Live" from US Nationals 2018 - Page 9

George, thanks so much for the video. Super Stock is done with Q1, Stock has been called to the lanes for Q2, Super Gas is running now. The weather has gone from slow to slower. Any Super Stocker that ran good in Q1 has a stout piece. The DA was around 4000ft when Super Stock ran.

Some Super Stock action Q1. How about Bucky Hess and his Hemi Barracuda.

Am I seeing things or does this mustang have a 5 speed?

Looks like the AHFS system has been working as designed all these years to bring the HP rating inline. What a joke.

Could someone please post qualifying sheets.
Drag Race Central is way slow.
Not a patient guy.
Thanks.

I believe the rule is dependent on what gearbox speeds the street version would have-5 or 6 in a newer Mustang? I am only a fan as well, good question--Experts?

You can have as many forward speeds as the car came from the factory

Examples for stickshifts

69 camaro 4 speed

99 camaro 6 speed , but you do not have to use all 6 you can run a 4 or even 5 speed if you like.

Stock is done with Q2, Super Stock is running now. The weather has improved a bit, but now we have a head wind. Photos from Stock action Q2.
