Car count of the 16 qualifiers...

Ford 2
GM 7
Mopar 7

Hmmmmm, Mopars matching the number of GM cars that qualified. Thought I'd never see that again...

Now, if we could just get Line and Anderson to our side...LOL!

The mighty Summit team is hardly making any noise...

Well if that is the case expect a rule change or them to add weight to the Mopars just like they kept doing to the Harleys because they kept winning in pro stock motorcycle. Gm boys will cry just like the ricer boys do.

the ricer boys only cry that the rules favor the Harleys so badly that in any other class the comp would give up. Look up the rules before you spout that crap. As far as PS cars yep the mopars are on a high,but for how long?
Hope to see them continue to be players.

All cars in Pro Stock car run 500ci engines. In ps bike the Harleys have a bigger engine than the Suziki's do. Someone said it was because they were a twin, to me it's an advantage I don't care if you have one cylinder or eight.

They will probably not make any rules changes to favor the chevy boyz as long as Edwards keeps qualifying #1 often enough to show they have the potential to win on any day. You can bet the rest of the chevy crew wishes he would slow down some to help them.

What everybody has to worry about is a rules change to give phord guys a leg-up.

Unless I am wrong I count 6 Mopars and 8 GM cars with 2 Fords. Still a great showing for Mopar. Ron

Regarding the Summit team, I think it's interesting that given all their expertise, Shane Gray and now Ricky Stevens come in and both run consistenly quicker than the Summit cars....

The issue in PSB was that Vance and Hines were the ONLY team allowed to used the "V-Rod" engine, which unlike every other accepted V-Twin engine was not based off anything Harley ever built.

There have been no really big rule changes in P/S since they went to 500ci/2300#, even when Wayne County was spraying.

They changed the rules for the Harleys due to the fact they had the field covered by over a tenth at all of the races. Plus I seen a interview saying that the Harleys have made more horse power on the dyno. They are just waiting for the ricers to catch up. I would complain as well.

I have a currently have a key chain with the spraying twins on it. I think after this year they are gonna have to make a key chain with the Johnson Power driving triplets on it. It is no dought the Mopars are not the fastest, they are just flat out out driving the others. Jeggie & Vince have the best reaction times in pro stock. I am pretty sure they could win in a mustang with thier driving skills.

Vince tried (his old man is a big Ford guy), and then he switched to Mopar.

Really I thought he was a Mopar guy all the way. I tought the Mountian View Tire was the family business. If I recall there was '68 Hemi Cuda sponsered by Mountian View Tire? what do I know?

John Nobile used to run an Oldsmobile, they are good friends with Larry Morgan. When Larry got the Mopar deal MP asked John to come along. He put a Mopar Performance decal on his Olds until he could get his car. I don't know what happened after that, didn't hear much from him but he's back now with his son and we can all be thankful.
