Surprised no one posted up. Congrats to Mark Pawuk #1 Qualifier and set both the ET and mph national record 7.608@18. Not to mention there were 5 Challengers qualified. Pretty good showing.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Have they decided how much weight they are going to hang on the challengers yet? lol

Can’t add any weight. Max for this chassis cert is 3600. They’re at 3550 now.

Drag Pak, not Pac or Pack grin

NHRA wants "parity" in this class and does what it wants when it wants re rules. Seems like combinations go from competitive to struggling with the stroke of the keyboard on occasion.

Wait... am I stating the obvious? whistling

I was at the Gators on Sunday. Never paid attention to the Factory Stock Showdowns before so it was a big suprise. Big MPH on a lot of the Dodges. Horsepower! It was great to see a stock bodied class that wasn't just a sea of Camaros. The fans seemed very excited. I realize any of the classes are vulnerable to the NHRA pen but ProStock better watch out with all it's lopsidedness. Those Factory Stockers are fun to watch! I had know idea they were that fast. Guess I've been watching too much JJ DA BOSS and not enough NHRA. Bill

No more engine mods but pro stock style transmissions and lighter weight.

I think in the end they decided to call the class Factory X.

Also in 2023 there may be a Factory E class.

oh oh I spelled incorrectly. If it was only parity it's been awhile since Challengers were competitive. I guess there is no improvement with the new package. Carry on.

Any factory X cars being built yet? Photos? I know the Holley guy with the blackbird challenger has one being built. May look something like this....

[Linked Image]


Certainly appears to be the new pro stock, yet I dont know how this fits in as all those cars are said to be going electric in a few years shruggy Typical NHRA, they been building these cars for 15 years and they make a class for them in the 11th hour

Sorry, wasn't meaning to minimize the level of performance the new Drag Paks are achieving... more concern for how long before the NHRA throws a(nother) rule change at 'em to take away any perceived advantage.
