I was so glad to see a Mopar driver leaving on everyone. The kid can drive. Final run his oponent cuts a .009 lite and Vincent cuts a .007 lite. He ran 6.625 to a 6.624. Good car with Johnson hp and good driver. I think his worst lite was a .023. Ron

That was one of the finest driving jobs I've ever seen. He was drilling the tree all day long.

I think this will take some pressure off of Allen Johnson. He will be able to relax more with another mopar team thats very capable of winning.

Re: Vincent Nobile Pro-Stock winner - 05/02/11 05:17 PM

YEP, I would call that racing to win. Go for it, Give it your best shot, All out we won't beat ourselves. Im impressed with this team.

Re: Vincent Nobile Pro-Stock winner - 05/02/11 05:41 PM

well I have to agree, but maby this kid will put some new fire into AJ. I always thought if Roy had a great driver like Connolly or Jegs. Aj can drive just not consistent enough to win.

Re: Vincent Nobile Pro-Stock winner - 05/02/11 05:46 PM

I am sometimes curious about AJ's crew, we all know Roy can make power, and it seem's that Allen can drive, but the car seem's to be inconsistant, is it the driver or the set-up?

Just need to look at the 60' to see if its consistent...
reaction time and 60' shows if the driver and car
are consistent with RT usually showing the driver
EDIT
I think part if not most of any problem is WHEN they
race... they follow the fuelers(top and funny cars)
and they tear up the launch pad area

Yes, but, evryone else has to use the same launch pad. when AJ left the line on the lady driver, he had a good light but the car got out of the groove to the left, I thought then the car got away from him. That little bit let her get out front. Maby the Nobile team can help in that area. I don't know. Im just glad for the win.

That I understand but after each pass of the fuelers
the track changes and I think some of the teams have
a little bit too aggressive set up... remember they
have a controlled spin going on ... might be harder
to read the track... I like the one team (fueler
I think) that uses a torque gauge to measure the track

First of congrats to Vincent and both Mopar crews for doing so well to start the year. It seems as though both teams are working well together to produce a winning racecar. Also, I must commend Vincent on his driving. He reminds you a lot of Richie Stevens, Dave Connoly, and Greg Stanfield when he chops down the tree like he has this year.

I doubt that the car got away from AJ that much, it probably just wasn't there to begin with. I know AJ likes that they have a more forgiving car but they are struggling to get the low end number back to where it was. There was a time last year when AJ's car would 60 within the top 3 at nearly every event which translates to better ET's but this new car is giving them fits. If they get the 60 back they can dominate again. One good thing that has come from them losing a lil ET and from Vincent winning is the fact that AJ is driving better(like to good ole days). If the car was lil better, we would have seen both cars in the winners circle.

Re: Vincent Nobile Pro-Stock winner - 05/02/11 11:31 PM

I would say you are right, I just think AJ will be better now with another mopar thats competetive. I was watching AJ about the 200 - 300 ft area and the car moved to the left. I think it got out of the groove a little. He did a good job to just keep it in it. but that cost some time.

Yes great news......that I didn't know and was planning to watch the race as recorded. Unfortunately that's a waste of time now.

You wait over a year for a Mopar to win and then someone spoils it, thanks a lot.

It's pretty basic netiquestte to NOT post race results in the title - not hard to follow

Great job Vincent and team MOPAR. He's a member on Yellowbullit so maybe he will check out Moparts and become a member.

Gotta laugh at you guys on here ripping on AJ for his lights. I have seen major improvement in AJ's reaction time to start this season. Probably not the best way to try and get AJ to pull in Vincent to moparts. Your time is gonna come this year with the power and your improved starting line skills, but for the time being it is nice to see another mopar out there getting the Wally.

its not difficult to understand, and I agree there shouldnt be race results in the posts BEFORE the race has aired. after its been on TV its fair game.
if you recorded it and didnt watch it, and the next day you come on here and wanna complain about it while youre recording is waiting to be watched, its hard to feel sorry for you.

AJ is one of the best and he will be around when the rest is long gone.I am glad a mopar won but AJ is the MAN the year is just getting started but with the JOHNSON power and the lights if he can keep cutting them we could see two MOPERS in the finals .

No body here would do anything but cheer on AJ and Roy and Aj is a decent driver. He can at least qualify. However this Kid did what he had to do to WIN. Nothing against AJ. Go MOPAR!!!

Re: Vincent Nobile Pro-Stock winner - 05/04/11 02:20 AM

I am a bit curious why Vincent is faster and quicker than AJ, did he get the "A" engine and AJ got the "B" engine? Not normally how it goes.
Anyway, very glad to see Vincent doing so well, I hope he keeps it up!

No, I think they had equal motors, however Vincents team probably hit the tune up closer plus, Vincent swung for the fence every time he came to the line. AJ' car looked like it got a little squirrly about 300 ft out. Aj cut a great light against the girley driver he just ran slower. AJ will be better I think. He himself has said his driving needs to be better and I know it will.

It could be the clutch set-up,chassis,transmission gear ratio's,or about 1000 other reasons. Sometimes its just the fact you have a lighter driver and can place the weight in another area.

Thats what I was thinking. Maby set the clutch a little loose to keep the tire shake down. It would be good to know.

If you notice, when Allen cuts a great light the car is on the ragged edge and gets loose a lot.

When the car goes dead straight his lights are slower.

My money says clutch.

I have to agree completely. AJ needs to just relax. win or loose. Swing for the fence every time. Go Mopar!!!!

Re: Vincent Nobile Pro-Stock winner - 05/04/11 04:50 AM

I would have to think it was just the setup in AJ's car. Like was said the clutch or tune could have missed a hair as thats all it takes in Pro Stock. I did not pay attention to the mph of both cars as per was the hp there. I would bet both cars have their best engines. Aj has a great car and is a good driver it just was not his day but he will win his share. Ron

Re: Vincent Nobile Pro-Stock winner - 05/04/11 06:18 AM

I have to go with the clutch/setup - When AJ has a good light the car usually spins. His engine may be making more power ?

According to the web Nobile actually has 2 clutch specialists and his dad does the trans.

Never heard of a team with 2 clutch guys?
