Odd that he didn't run anywhere near that in Norwalk...Cant believe the air in Indy was that much better.

"My Challenger looks like one you’d see on the showroom floor, and that appeals to fans,” Pawuk said.

I think he's absolutely right... people want to see cars they can relate to and have personality. Vinyl wraps over one off bodies just don't do it.

Are they restricted to a 9" tire in this class?

They must have found something with his car. Leah qualified 10th with a 7.96. Alan Johnson was 23rd with an 8.16.

That's right and that's how I like it and always have. I never have cared much for classes where all the cars look the same. That's one reason I love NSS racing because I can actually tell what kind of car it is. Ron

The class reminds me of Pro Stock in the early days. Hopefully NHRA will not ruin a good thing.

NHRA always ruins a good thing. That's just who they are.....

Unfortunately the class is already ruined. Big money has come in strong and brought all the usual problems.
