Just saw this on the web.
Great effort by Chris Holbrook.
Have no idea what the combination is, but 8.38 is FAST
What is the world coming to.lol

Right off the show room floor. LOL

Guess it's a whipple supercharger..... I have no clue on how stock elminator classes work these days

It works like this........$$$$$$$$$$.....

NHRA has allowed these classes to become laughable.

That's 1/8 mile, right?

Nope.

Blowers, turbos and nitros can make a Briggs&Stratten run fast. Take the blower off see how fast it runs. Or just let them all run one and watch the circus. Be like watching top fuel or funny car, gets old after awhile.

It's a Cobra Jet Mustang with a whipple. Runs Factory Stock/A. He also made a 7.90 pass in his SS/AA Mustang which has a Coyote motor with a whipple in front of a clutchless Liberty. Not sure what AA stands for anymore, as it used to mean AAutomatic, but obviously not anymore.

I love that Barton runs in the 8s with a hemi challenger and he's a hero, but someone runs 8.38 with a factory stock blower and they are a circus. The first hellcat stocker that goes 8.37, we'll be worshiping them too.

Technology is awesome. This is the new stock. Don't be mad because 50 year old stuff can't keep up anymore.

Ya and the average person can afford it too. Lol. RIGHT. And they are no where near stock

Me thinks that NHRA has now revived the old Factory Experimental classes once again and are calling it whatever the name is of these new "factory experimental stockers" race only cars now

I'm thinking the XX on the end of the class marked on the windshield doesn't stand for anything even remotely near "stock", even for 2010 thru 2015 factory race cars.

Factory Stock Showdown Eliminations Summernationals



Stock Highlights E-Town Summernationals 2015

Has stock ever really been "stock"?
At least they look like whats on the showroom floor, unlike some other classes.
Heck, let em fly...

Cool, compressed air.

It's a wonderful thing.

How do you know how close to "stock" they are. You got one or tune one?......What does afford have to with anything. How many normal guys can afford a record holding, 60s HEMI stocker. As far as the Mustang being stock........it has to meet the same component limitations as any other stocker. They make better than 600hp off the showroom floor. The Hellcat makes 700. What are you going to say when one of those goes low 8s......and it will.

I have an uncle who is an engineer on the Hellcat project team. He says the factory tune is crazy soft and the motor is built to make a 1000hp. It's called technology when you can buy a factory car that makes over 700hp and drive it everyday like a mini-van

That's hitting the nail right squart on the head. Times, they are a changin'.

Exactly........People are bagging on the Fords........but when Mopar decides to offer the Hellcat motor in the Drag-Pack cars and they go fast, that guy will be a god.

No secret that Mopar seriously took advantage of the rules in the late 60s with the Hemi Darts and Cudas.........but heaven forbid another maker do the same thing now.

But here is the MAIN thing, other than class runoffs or if you meet the same class car in eliminations.........it don't matter how fast it runs. Stock eliminator is a bracket race

Bad Ass!!

Technology.......Adapt or Die!
