He did tell me in Richmond he had a new motor coming. Not sure if it was the 351?

Mr. Turk said on Facebook yesterday that no one is running the 351, but someone has been on the dyno with one. He did not say who.

Mr. Danner. To keep everyone competing in this class there will be adjustments made to keep ALL contestants on an equal level. This was made last year when the Drag Pak had an advantage and now NHRA has done the same again. I know you would be happiest if it was an all Ford field, but that is not going to happen

Dyno, last year's Dodge adjustment did nothing !

Dodge has got the biggest engine and Schumacher got the deepest pockets what's the problem that he can't Run with the Ford micro motor he's a crybaby

Saving it all for Indy then watch them fly.

If they keep giving them gifts every race they should be able to run with the fords and chevys by then

Well, nice of you to make assumptions about what would make me happy, however you might read some of what I wrote. I'll do it again just for you.

Gators, best DP runs within 25 thou of the best COPO. COPO loses blower OD.

Charlotte, best DP runs within 23 thou of the best COPO, i.e. slowed basically as much as the COPOs even though no rule change for the DPs. Somehow COPO loses blower OD yet again.

Virginia, DPs slowed a greater amount than both the COPOs and the CJs even though, again, no rule change for the DPs. Yet somehow DP gets rewarded with a weight break.

Why is the car which has not been penalized repeatedly slowing more than the cars which actually are penalized? All appearances are that hasty rule changes were made based on cars that were not performing at the level which they have previously displayed.

Right now the DP is in exactly the same configuration in which it has ran 7.85 EXCEPT it is now 75 lbs lighter. Meanwhile the current configs of the CJ and COPO have ran bests of 7.94 and 7.95 respectively.
