I'm thankful to both the racers and the T.V network for helping get more people to the tracks to watch and more racers to compete I does seem to have built some interest in drag racing by the youts... otherwise its not my thing. Did you say "youts"? https://youtu.be/K6qGwmXZtsE

I was surprised to see Chief get taken out by the blower car, was he having issues? It was impressive to see the drivers of some of the cars under them wrenching and getting greasy, not your typical NHRA show. I did notice also, that some of the cars had what looked like weight numbers in the windows, what were the breaks for different power adders? Jim

Not sure a lot of folks here know the history of Bobs car. Maybe he can share some of its history. They have been running that car for a very long time. It was fast with a nitrous small block, a blown small block, a turbo small block and blown hemi and a turbo hemi I think I got them all. I have no doubt that Bob, Jason and Giuseppe will get the new car sorted out in short order..

BobR...any idea why Megalodon was a no show for many of the races? I don't for sure but the word I got was he wanted to get paid to show up and he wasn't considered at that level. To be fair there were other stories but that's the one I found most plausible.

I did not realize it is a back half car. Are any others? I figured they all are chassis cars. Good luck next season I'm sure new car will help a ton. There are a few but most are chassis cars.

The bickel chassis car should be even better.

I sure hope they do away with these cowardly first round call outs next year. That’s all they talked about for the first 25 minutes tonight. Can't say I blamed Ryan for doing it though. Especially after Birdman lifting and giving Murillo the win to lock up the championship last year. I thought it was funny that no one b!tched about it when Boosted was doing it for Kayla. One of the main reasons she finished as high in points as she did. Tim

It is hard for me in my area to see the Mustang and Vixen run. I have a hard time routing for a Mustang over a Challenger. I know Bobs car has a Hemi in but it's still a Ford. Sorry Bob.

Gotta agree on losing the callout deal; it seems to add an unpleasant sidebar, and kinda kinks the outcome.
I gotta ask, BobR, why a new Mustang body? (I don't have a problem with it, just curious)
At the speeds they're running, I'd think aero would be a big consideration. That's easy. The wheelbase is what we feel is perfect for this stuff. Rich Bruder told me that he feels the Challenger wheelbase is too long. Beyond that I really like the Shelby look and it fits on the bickel chassis I already had.

I understand. I am a Mopar guy as is my brother. Giuseppe is a Ford guy so our car is a compromise to both of our preferences. Giuseppe gets the body and I get the motor. FWIW our official team car is a Durango SRT.
