I watched more coverage on my tv than I ever have. I’ll have to research the classes a little bit so I can understand it better. Of course the slower cars bore me but that’s part of it I guess. So will we see you entered next year John?

So will we see you entered next year John? Should I enter my 2003 Malibu, 2006 dodge diesel, or motorhome. Lol 😂 You guys are to fast for me.

watching dragweek and seeing the new hemi blocks from jason line got me wondering how fast can a NA hemi from Westcott run , legal A/H cars can get into the 8.40`s Charlie has been 8.19 in legal form. Wecott went 8.19 BEFORE the rules were revised in terms of valve cover rails....He and other actually woudl eliminate the valve cover rail and have the covers bolting to the manifold to shorten the cylinders runner yet maintain the legal runner CC. Why all the cars slowed way down a few years ago..No one has come close to that since the rules were revised... I am well aware of that ordeal. The valve cover stuff went down in 2012/2013...Gary Wolkwitz went 8.229 in 2015 and tore down for the national record. They re-assembled the motor back at Ray's. I happened to stop in the day they were putting it on the dyno before going back in the car.
