The Fords have a new BIGGER blower. All Dodge got was weight

I hate to say it, but I've lost a lot of interest already.
You could see where this was headed, into another big political infested big money game. The Ford and Chevy people were complaining about Schumacher and all the money he was bringing into it, which I thought was pretty rich when guys like Tasca was doing the complaining. Now you've got Skillman, Bo Butler, and even Summit involved in the game.
A fool could see this coming. Here we go again.....we've all seen this movie before.

We all know the nhra isn't going to let the Dodges be the fastest cars in the class for very long. I don't believe so, they did get some other pieces approved. Don't recall them mentioning a new blower though. Mountain View has their new FSS/A Copo out, they won class at the baby Gators. I don't remember their builder mentioning a new blower though, but maybe. I know the Fords got a much larger blower and it clearly is showing what it can do

Its been a rich guys class since day 1. If you have ever been to a race NMCA or NHRA where these guys compete there has never been a doubt about the money in the class.

I'm not sure about the Blower being bigger.. I think the Dodge and the Chevy 350 inch plus all weigh the same

Lets face it just as it was in 1972 the Ford and GM factories have more money then Mopar and NHRA will kiss their butts to keep more people happy and let them win. Money and politics is still in NHRA of course and Ford and GM have more of it then Mopar. Ron

My understanding is that the COPOs and the Cobra Jets do have the option of running a better blower, but if they use it they run at the same weight as the Drag Packs.
The Dodges may be holding back but if not they may not be low qualifiers much this year. At that level of performance it takes quite a bit of HP to make up for 2 tenths, but chopping the tree and a little luck could help the Dodges make rounds.

Pawuk made it to the final and had a better light, but Skillman drove around him at half track.
