Blowers, turbos and nitros can make a Briggs&Stratten run fast. Take the blower off see how fast it runs. Or just let them all run one and watch the circus. Be like watching top fuel or funny car, gets old after awhile.
I love that Barton runs in the 8s with a hemi challenger and he's a hero, but someone runs 8.38 with a factory stock blower and they are a circus. The first hellcat stocker that goes 8.37, we'll be worshiping them too.
Technology is awesome. This is the new stock. Don't be mad because 50 year old stuff can't keep up anymore.
That's hitting the nail right squart on the head. Times, they are a changin'.
Exactly........People are bagging on the Fords........but when Mopar decides to offer the Hellcat motor in the Drag-Pack cars and they go fast, that guy will be a god.
No secret that Mopar seriously took advantage of the rules in the late 60s with the Hemi Darts and Cudas.........but heaven forbid another maker do the same thing now.
But here is the MAIN thing, other than class runoffs or if you meet the same class car in eliminations.........it don't matter how fast it runs. Stock eliminator is a bracket race
