Anyone else see this video, Warfish invited to a Ford race for a match race! Just like back in the AA/GS days (except the cars are 1 second faster).

They need to change the narrator's line...

Currently "Ford Racing.......We Race.......You Win.......

Should Be "Ford Racing.....We Race.....Mopars Win......

Aren't those brand spanking new, aerodynamic, Ford products.......boosted???

Should they not be racing something a tad closer for fairness sake??? An Avenger with a PSI screw blown HEMI perhaps.

I'm guessing that wasn't quite what the show promoter had in mind...

They're fast, but so are 4 bangers with boost in aero racecars.

Tasca went 8.48 today in the one pass I saw, he did run another. That's a liberty clutchless too. I believe he went a 8.28 yesterday but weather was better. DA today around 2800.
The mopar missile super stock challenger was there, didn't see it run. Very nice car.

To much Ford for my taste

Yeah, the Tasca car sheared the drive engagement right off the supercharger snout (internal to the blower). It was in the 8.20's yesterday. The fast 2012 CJ's have 4L displacement superchargers (option over the 2.3L blower) on top of a 5.4 4v motor. It sucks the AH cars aren't going to be the king of Super Stock anymore, but I don't think anybody is going to complain about a bunch of SS cars running low 8's. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the CJ's run in the 7's in good air this fall.

The Mopar Missle Challenger went 9.70's, and looks fantastic.

The AH cars don`t use blowers to go fast!

So could CW run a "ringer" engine, say 604"?

Personally, I think NA versus boosted doesn't compare, even if both are factory race cars. It's apples to oranges.
BTW, what did CW run on that pass?

True, but they are basically a Pro Stock car in a 1968 body.

The Cobra Jets will be the kings of SS/A and AA now.

Was just over on Classracer and Charlie himself posted that after Tasca broke he raced Randy Hopkins. Hopkins let off and went an 8:35 to Charlie's 8:43. The CJ's also went 168 MPH.

Hopkins car is 200lbs over weight to slow it down. That thing has a 7 second pass in it no doubt. When class for these cars starts paying 10K to win, the hand writing will be on the wall for the 43 year old HEMI class.
