There are certainly some crazy combos and the weather was extremely quick and fast. Some of the cars like the DPs, CJs and COPO cars do have some combos that have blowers, so that can be a factor.

That being said, I don’t see any car going 9.50’s that fit your description so which car did you mean?

I don’t see Tech having any problem with teardown, there were a few at Gainesville for older and newer combos. I think a COPO even set a record.

Curious to hear more specifically and accurately what you mean? There are plenty of arguments that are good ones with how fast some stockers go, but I don’t find the connection to your comments here
