The most unattractive paint job I've ever seen.

It's "real"(ish) cars running heads-up..... I'm good with that.

I'll be watching the results.

The graphics on the mopar car look fine to me.

She says in the interview "it's a blower car, so that will be cool"

Funny that the Dodge slash logo placement makes it look like the car # is 11, and I gotta say the color breaks don't flow with the lines of the car; looks like it was laid out at a hardware store.
Hope she does well, but I think it would've been a wiser choice to put someone who's already a hitter in Stock or SS in the seat.

After 2 qualifying rounds they're gonna need to find a little over a tenth(so far) to get into the shootout.

Re: Enders Factory Stock Showdown at Indy - 09/01/16 05:16 PM

After 3 Q rounds....... Now she needs about 2.5 tenths to make that field.

Not looking good for the home team.

She is 13th in an 8-car shootout. All Camaro and Mustang.

This is very sad.

ANOTHER stupid move on Chrysler/Fiat's part. Put an untried combination in the hands of an individual who has never driven this type of car. They would have been much better asking Jegs to drive it.
And I think the paint scheme sucks.

Is the #1 qualifier a camaro with a certain well known Mopar engine builder driving?

Enders driving is NOT the reason the car is 3/10ths slow. She can drive a pro-stocker, so this is cake. A trans-brake car with a 2 speed. Would be no quicker with Jeggie driving it. The tune is why it's slow and you can bet she isn't tuning and neither would Jeggie be doing that.

I agree, just about anyone could get it down the track. Mopar should have done their homework. They should have a good idea of what ET it would take to be competitive.

I think it is great to see David showing the idiots at Fiat what happens when you take a big dump on people that actually know how to make your junk run. Sweet revenge for Barton. Erica has sold out to these morons and now looks like one too.

It takes time to develop a combination. Those motors aren't stock. What this motor needs to be competitive will be discovered by hard work and a lot of test laps. Somebody will figure it out.

Dont think that Barton is the one making all the power they had to bring in Joe Hornick to get the gen 2 stuff figured out when CW was kicking there a$$

I thought that's what they have been doing the last 2 years.

When I heard they were going to use a 2.9 blower instead of a 4.0 I didn't know if that would make the power we need.

Then I talked to a guy that pulled the motor out of a new COPO and it made 1100 hp and I suspected that we might be in trouble.

Now here we sit and can't even make the field. If I go to Indy this weekend I'll be wearing a paper sack over my head. This is so embarrassing.

Don't they all use the same blower? And is this the first race they've been in? Might take a few races to get up to snuff. Hemis make power, especially with a blower. If they didn't you wouldn't be able to buy Hemi heads for an LS

Re: Enders Factory Stock Showdown at Indy - 09/03/16 04:55 AM

Barton knows how to make power with these Gen III Hemis. He has been instead though focusing his talents on the COPO Camaro since after setting records with the fs/b Hemi they decided to let someone else build all 354's. Then also put on this dog and pony show with Enders. Kinda the same treatment AJ got after winning a championship. I hope they get their a$$ handed too them.
