It was a great day Sunday watching Bullet rip an 8.15 at 168 !

Details?

Great air...great track prep...go to Bob Reed Racing Facebook page

Wow.........must be a big motor, light or both, as that is way quicker than the AH record and about 6 mph faster. Bob has always been fast, but being mostly exhibition now, I doubt he stays right up with the latest and greatest AH improvements

^^^^^ agree

I know bob has pretty current stuff....I can't see him rinning something not legal....I don't know bob ,but he has been running these cars along time and I'm sure he would like to be legit fast..surely somebody has more info

Highly unlikely you show up at an exhibition and run 6 numbers quicker than the record and 6 mph faster and the car be 100% legal. 6mph is a LOT of power.

At 3210 which is legal AH weight, to go 8.16 or 168 mph, both require well over 1100hp

Light would still be respectable....and I'm sure he would like to be legal fast...so I can't see him running a big motor....but who knows

Charlie ran as quick as 8.22 163......

At legal weight, to go from 163 to 168 is another 100hp.

I too want to know some more info and see video of this

I would have to guess he was way light

There's not that much extra weight in those cars

There's got to be someone out there that talks to bob and ask him about his current combo maybe he has all of Charlie's old engine combos now that he is focusing on his ps program you never know till you ask

Yea there isn't a lot of lightening to be done on those cars, nowhere near to pick up the way he did

That's my home track but I haven't been since my car broke in july.
I'll ask around to see if anyone has video of it.

Our car is around 2730 less me

The Barracuda mostly associated with Reed is the former Bob Lambeck car; identifiable by its long, kinda squared off rear wheel openings.
Lambeck once told me that Reed's 2nd Barracuda was bounced in NHRA Tech back in the day and was "better than legal" concerning weight & something about the floor.
Cool that he's still at it.

Used to see Bob sleeping in the back of his trailer, alone at the races, and wake up just in time to run.

Always made time to chat with a nobody like me and I thought it was a great thing he did for Ronnie before Ronnie's passing.

Glad to see him run a great number and enjoying himself.
