2 cars for sure, the heli one had a good chance of falling off

Are you sure it was this car? The yellow Hotchkiss T/A was just stolen after an event

Let me answer some of the questions that is out there.

The Helicopter guy was like a surgeon. We were amazed! It went right over my head!

The 8.91 was legit there at the track, there was people I know in the timing tower that saw it go down.

They can't use the pitchfork demon logo because I believe yearone or someone bought the rights to the character when Dodge let it lapse.

The car with the parachute is the same one that came in on the Chopper. They brought it down the track, behind the tower, mounted the parachute and came back out.

There was three on display at the event, all are accounted for.

Thanks for clearing that up

Ryan, what/where was the 3rd one. There was the one on the track and the one in the Dodge VIP area - both were silver. I didn't see a third. The one in the Dodge VIP area was missing the parachute but it had the "Alcohol Injected" logo on the hood scoop. The one on track did not have the logo. The one on the track had a fairly stripped interior while the one in the VIP area had the full interior with the cool logo embossed in the seats!

Either way, it's always great to see you!!

Ed

It was good seeing you as well.

The third one was outside the Dodge VIP area sorta. By the time I came back around it was covered up.

What is the meaning of the 170 designation? Also, it's interesting that the car has the widebody rear fender flares, but not the fronts.

It's 170-proof grain alcohol that maximizes the HP rating to that insane 1025. They're running drag radials on the back, so they have the wide body fenders there, but they have relatively "skinny" front runners, so no need for the wide-body flares in front.

And I like that look better than having the flairs both front and rear. Wides on the rear and stock width fronts. Kinda 70s chic.

It's ethanol gas. It runs on E-85.

And with skinny tires up front and no flares, saves something like 18 lbs.

I still believe that car did not run 8.91 at the event, the et and speed came up a full 30 seconds after it passed the stripe! And the time was leaked before the car went down the strip, we saw it online a full 10 minutes before the run. No way the et and speed were the same as the leak...

A joke imo

It will be if that ET can't be replicated like the demons 9.65 couldn't. 9.30's-9.40s is probably what it'll run and you'll have to know what you're doing to do it

People that race understand prep, DA, water grains and the limitations of a factory delivered suspension. The numbers are when everything is optimized and you pull off a perfect pass.

I have lots of passes in the 10.20's and only one that is 10.01. Radial prep lately is the biggest issue.

I hear you but they had a demon only event in the winter with a fully prepped track and still not one of the cars hit the 9.65 ET.

with 1000+ hp , the car should be in the 8's.... on a prep'd track, with a good driver... if it's not, maybe the hp is 'fudged' a bit??

Thx for that, never knew they are fudging the 0-60

what is the 0-60??
