When I see someone leading the field in Pro Stock like Mike Edwards, I assume he is working the hardest. Unless V. Gaines is doing his own engines, I only know of one guy doing Mopars, Roy Johnson. The other fast teams rent power from him.

Those that work the hardest, the smartest and have the best parts and test, test and test some more probally go faster than those that don't   Some have (those that go faster with no major backing than everybody else with backing and they have no long record of racing) cheated also, in the past  I know of several ex Pro Stock racers in SO CA, and rumored elsewhere, that had illegal help in going faster than thier competors at that time Is Mike Edwards and his team cheating, probally not

Mike Edwards tests here in Tulsa, they test quite a bit as I can hear them from my work. Its not uncommon for Allen Johnson and V gaines to be testing at the same time as him.

V has his own program. Nickens is also building some engines for McGaHaa(sp) and Hartford. As far as Mike goes. They are a smart bunch. He is a bit up on power but they are also making good clean runs.

It seems like some tracks this year he runs better numbers, but he's not doing it at every track. I'd rather see him in the number one spot than one of the summit cars

Mike is still making more power than everybody else (Shane is close). I always look at the 1/8mile mph and he is usually about 1mph or more up on the entire field through that point. He is also a bit more aggressive than everyone as well which is why he hasn't been as consistent as other cars in the field. I think the Mopar team realize that establishing a winning consistency is more important right now. As long as Allen,Jeg, and Vincent are in striking distance, it won't matter once points reset for the countdown.

Go Mike Edwards and the creator Jesus ... I have never heard Mike Edwards attack the hypicrital athiestis on moparts. Allen Johnson gives Jesus the Hebrew discendent all credit.

An interesting but unconfirmed thing I heard is that Edwards is still using the DRCE II based engine?
