That’s a good starting point for that calculation. Lol

Both Ford and Gm submitted new vehicle combos for 2019. This got them different engine components as well..

Mopar did not submit a new vehicle for 2019 so we got all we are going to get for now.

After Gainesville next week it should be interesting to see if NHRA is interested in equalizing the field as they were when the Dodges were fast.

The rumor in Bradenton was, the Mustangs will be getting a Pulley change soon.

Yeah this is really a tough money class for sure. Have a very good friend that races a COPO & he is in totally. New engine, blower, converter, gear change & so on. But it's still cheaper than the alcohol funny he used to run. So close to the 7 second club this past weekend. Was really hoping to see them get there as independents. So many of these cars are definitely being helped by the parent companies. So sad to only see a cpl Challengers in the field. But hey Pawuk makes it to the final again. $100,000 for the car then let's tear it all down & start over.
I was mistaken, later in eliminations they bombed the 7 second barrier. Went 7.84@171 so impressive for a small tire car. especially on the 1st day out w/totally new combo
Great Job to Munroe Racing, Terry Munroe / driver-owner - Jim Boyer / Crewchief

For 2019:
CJ cars went up to 327" and have larger blower
COPO has a magnuson blower, no other changes or parts...

NHRA tagged any FSS/XX cars running the 2019 engine with the extra 50# so they are the same as the dodge at 3575. NMCA made the same rule changes.

Interesting how the Mopars were running 170+ in the heat of the summer last year, but Pawuk was 166-168 in Bradenton...


Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

71 Swinger - slowly collecting dust/parts
66 Belv. II - just a streetcar
88 Mustang - turbo LS beater

How is this the fault of the NHRA? They provide a safe race environment and rules then the chips, from there, fall where they may. There will always be people with deep pockets willing to spend on the thrill of beating other people with deep pockets. These guys race for $4,000 purses. It cost them that per run...at least. If one tries to justify the expenditure then he is in the wrong game.

I don't think anyone is necessarily complaining of the cost, it's the bending of the rules for one manufacturer over another. I'm pretty sure one of the original concepts of the class was to have it relatively fair by making everyone use the same supercharger. They've now altered that to favor one maker over another. The new Ford blower is obviously a killer, they've went from cannon fodder to way out in front in 6 months. I don't mind using new components but let all the manufacturers use it.

I watched those cars run NMCA finals at indy last year. jaw dropping! i'm old enough to remember T/F fuel cars not making the 7's. Chrysler had a hemi shoot out with a 10.00 index. guys were driving in and running 9.90's. i'm impressed!

I can remember when (1963 to 1965) they where running in the mid to low eights smoking the tires the entire run back before burn outs shruggy T/F Front engine cars with push to start and stage and race. Funny cars came up with electric starters on the blower drives and the changes started to occurred to where we are now today, factory stockers running the 7. on nine slicks shock work


Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
