Is there anything special about the '15 Challenger that makes them the most competitive? Most of the Camaro's are '18.

2015 was the last Drag Pack Challenger listed in the NHRA Classification Guide. They only show the Hellcat for 2016 and 2017.

I hear there is a shortage of Kleenex in the St.Louis area, something about Chevy racers buying them all up! Read on Classracer that NHRA is tearing her car totally apart after her Win …. of course they are theres no way a Dodge can Win four events in a row.

Its a shame that NHRA doesnt just say ALL the
stockers must weigh X and leave it at that..
it doesnt have to be about this or that brand
has to be the quickist.. but they HAVE to play
their games.. today its the Dodges that are fastest
but in a short time it might be something else
I'm sick of their games... and the NHRA.. good
job Leah

Leah is 5 mph higher at the 1/8 than Kohn, but then less at the 1/4. I’d say they are pulling timing or something out up high to hide the hp advantage.

someone posted this on another forum,,,claiming the dodge dogging it on the top end...kind of like pulling the chute at the 1st mph stripe in the old days

I doubt NHRA (AKA Chevy must win) will add more weight since the chassis is at the limit of its certed weight now. They will probably do a pulley change for the Dodge's to kill power. Either way, the Chevy's outnumber everyone else by 10 to 3 verses Mopars or 10 to 2 versus the Fords. NHRA will only be happy when it is a Chevy only class.

It wasn't the Chevy teams that brought this about. I got that from Turk himself.

DSR ring a bell? politics and money. The Challengers are on the heavy side anyways and they can't have someone with less influence get to the 7s first regardless of make.
