I know nothing about any of them, but it is interesting when the Bruder bros are talking about adding and adding power and then Big Chief's little engine beats them all. Were the other guys way too conservative up on the hill and not make adjustments fast enough and Chief just started at 11? and you believe that chief just has a "regular" Pontiac motor??? lol Originally starting out as a Pontiac man I got quite a chuckle when he said that.... And to think all those years I could have bolted a couple turbos on my 455 and ran 4.0 in the 1/8!!!!

Never see more than a few minutes of that show except when channel surfing, what a bunch of white trash, inked-up, foul mothed scuzzy looking dirt bags. The promos say it all in 30 seconds with the fighting and cursing.. like watching WWE and roller derby. Pretty accurate assessment. Chuck with the mouth really ruins the show. The cars, (my opinion), are ridiculous to even have the word "street" attached to them. No prep, lol, how about a show about no slicks, and no power adders? Otherwise, Ryan Martin, Daddy Dave, Monza, and Jerry Bird all seem like down-to-earth, normal guys. I watch it if I happen to come across it.

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.

I am not a fan of a few of the guys and all the trash talking they do. However, when I was at PRI last year, I always knew if a stand had one of them doing signings. The queue was enormous. Despite their short comings, they have certainly generated a lot of interest in Drag Racing, so that can't be too much of a bad thing.

Just getting caught up on my DVR recordings,saw Gentile win a round. Who’s the guy standing around the car with the muscle shirt on? That wasn’t Bob was it. Lol. That actually was me. We won a lot of rounds over the season-made it to two semi's and one final. We finished Tied with Robin for 6th overall. Our goal going into the season was top 5 so we didn't quite make it but we did give Lutz a round in Denver. That was the difference. Watch tonight. We went to the 3rd round in West Palm.

Were the other guys way too conservative up on the hill and not make adjustments fast enough and Chief just started at 11? Chief beat Vixen because the p/s header collector blew almost in half. They made that pass with less than half the boost they had programmed for.

Yes, he owns the car now I sold him a BB 440 powered Dart a long time ago, but I don't think we have met in person We have met, Cab. I also either bought from you or sold you an 8 3/4 third member besides the Dart...which my brother still owns. It's now a B-1 headed 493.

“Regular” Meaning real Pontiac architecture? Yes. 100% aftermarket parts? Yes. 40 + pounds of boost with a splash of nitromethane? Yes. This is no DRCE engine, or a 481x. He’s doing it the hard way with good results. I understand that, and yes I know its impressive...BUT on the show he said it was a 455 that came in the car...LOL SO now all of America thinks its nothing...lol I don't know many racers that are honest about the combination they have. I'm sure JJ's "Ole heavy" doesn't weigh 4920 lbs either

Bob did you see that they bumped the Norwalk race into October next year because of the bracket finals being ran there next year. Just a heads up so you can plan your schedule
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.38@138.67
