Re: Erica Enders
DNQ at Charlotte. Maybe they will ditch Mopar and get back to winning with Chevy. Just leaves a big door open for Summit Racing

Door has been wide open all year for the Summit Group. To late now.

Re: Erica Enders
Erica and Team Elite will be back for sure.. .Part's failures seem to be too common on the new car but
they had problems as well with the Big Red so hard to tell what is going on but I will see her in a few weeks at the Grove at the Keystone Nationals. Dave 67 Nova Boy |
Re: Erica Enders
It's already been mentioned -- they need to go back the the Chevys ... TAZ

Re: Erica Enders
Somebody report the facts on ELITE & MOPAR's Contract/Agreement............
I'm thinking that Richard Freeman/ELITE took a couple million from MOPAR for each car........Erica & Jeggie for what period of time ??? I'll be at Las Vegas Natl Oct 27-30 and maybe can hear more rumors.........er facts !!!! Jeff Lane (my "boss") is very friendly with Allen Johnson's crew chief btw: How are Allen Johnson's engine's staying together ??? I'm flying out at 7:30 tonight with Jeff & Cody Lane for the NHRA Lucas Oil Divison 7 DoubleHeader at Salt Lake City..... Jeff won the Final Div 6 race this past weekend in Woodburn, OR currently tied for first place in Comp Elim Div 6 and #6 in Natl points !!!!!!! |
Re: Erica Enders

Re: Erica Enders
Whew!!!
Last race of the year for the Elite team at Pomona...very tough year with the new EFI, manufacture change and other changes that all the racers had to over come. The Mopar camp promised a much better 2017 season. Erica and crew all kept it together all year and it's time to get the Monkey off their back and get back to running up front and winning. Erica's in car go pro at Pomona 2014 https://vimeo.com/86335810 Dave 67 Nova Boy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...umusaeucyk.jpg |
Re: Erica Enders
67' Nova Boy, Curious if you have "insider" knowledge or just casual fan ??
I was told by Allan Johnson Crewman that Richard Freeman (ELITE) would be abandoning the DODGE Experiment in 2017. This is obviously hearsay !!!!!!! It was implied to me that there would be NO Factory DODGE sponsored Pro Stock in 2017 Allan Johnson will be back with MARATHON OIL sponsorship FYI, Jeff Lane/Hancock&Lane (team I work on) finished #3 in NHRA Comp Eliminator. Lost 3rd Round at Pomona... |

Re: Erica Enders
CamarosRus,
No inside info on this...you are right and glad they will go back to Chevrolet!! It had to be tough on the team to work...work...and work ALL year to give Jeggy & Erica race cars that are a 1/2 tenth off every one else. They are the best of the best and still could not make that Mopar run with the Summit boys! Hats off to Jason Line and team for a stout season. All I got to say is dem boys better watch out next season!!!!!!!!! The team will be back...stay tuned Was on vacation this week and missed the race but to the semi's was good to see. An .003 light had Erica out in front but the car slid sideways and that was the end of MOPAR!! Dave 67 Nova Boy |

Re: Erica Enders
Dave, What do you know about the exclusive deal HOGAN intakes (fuel injection) has with
KB Racing. Does it appear that Gray Motor Sports and ELITE are catching up to HOGAN with other brands of intakes or in house pieces ??? |
Re: Erica Enders
We are big fans of EE, she always takes time for the kids - here she is signing Danny's new Jr Dragster helmet that we bought at the Nationals....

Does it appear that Gray Motor Sports and ELITE are catching up to HOGAN with other brands of intakes or in house pieces ??? </div></div> I think it's alot more then Hogan Manifolds??? .05 of a second from first to 10th usually is the WHOLE PACKAGE and not just intakes. As Nick says, the whole package MUST work and be refined! So the NEW EFI stuff and the changes is areo as well as the rules for "air entry". It's far from a HOGANS manifold magic deal. Funny, "most" of the guys I've talked to NEVER took HOGANS as a serious player in the manifold market and relegated them to more of the cheaper mass produced style intake???? Guys you usually see in the 500 class are Foltz, HRE etc. BUT good for Hogans for stepping up a TON this year. I'm sure that has resulted in a bunch of sales that would have otherwise gone to the competition. |
Re: Erica Enders
Yep EZ, more then just the Manifolds. I believe the Hemi's just arn't fast enough.
|
Re: Erica Enders
I have talked to guys in the EFI business and they seem to think that the manifolds have more to do with being in the top ten or being in the top 3.The whole package is right on for sure!! The parts all must work together. Hogan was locked up or Ken Black paid to have exclusive rights to use their products. They were 100 HP down before they made the change to Hogan and had over 100 manifolds to find the right ones to run. Remember that Allen Johnson was in the lower half of the field till they switched to Wilson manifolds and they were back to the upper field again...Roy Johnson is well known to be one of the best Hemi guys out there and still was not where they wanted to be until they had help from Wilson.
Elite will be back in a Chevrolet in 2017 with Jeg & Erica up front again. Time will tell how well they do as it's another brand change with the new EFI system but this time around they will have better results much quicker and hope allot less parts failure!!! They should get lots of info from Vincent Nobile's car. Marlin, Glad that you had a chance to meet Erica and to have her sign the helmet for the boy! Jr drags is where she got her start and really cares for the kids as they are our future in drag racing so the more kids that are part of racing the better chance of the sport progressing.

Re: Erica Enders
Now there is a report on Elite and the Pro Stock competition.
dave,dave,dave,dave yeaaaaa |
Re: Erica Enders
Nick is very very smart. But to TRY a totally new platform and get it running with a totally new induction system at the same time, was just a bit too much. HEMI's are good, as good as the DRCE, not by the looks of it, really who knows. If Johnsons and Elite worked TOGETHER, maybe they would be right up with the GM's. Allen still does a good job, but maybe the $$$$ and a couple other cars testing things could have helped too. Remember KB Racing is a 2 1/2 car team pretty much with Butner.
Ferri will have the DRCE platform working for 2017 that you can count on. But think about the $$$ Michael is spending? Went from FULL GM, to FULL MOPAR, and now back to FULL GM equipment???? That is just WOW |
Re: Erica Enders
Nick & Jake have what it takes to build that DRCE2 block...here is a good article on block honing from Nick Ferri.
http://www.fabricatingandmetalworkin...inning-finish/ Also just in...Ricky Jones is leaving NHRA in 2017 to start a family leaving Dad,Crew chief Rick Jones, Mark Ingersoll and Brian "Lump" Self to lead the three-car team in 2017. Ricky Jones Richard Freeman is spending allot of money to get back in a Chevrolet but hopes he can bring back some of the parts from 2014-2015. Vincent Nobile is driving Erica's 2015 Championship car so might have to build a new one for Erica & Jeg?? Dave 67 Nova Boy |
Re: Erica Enders
Hopefully soon, NHRA will OK the new Camaro, Mustang and Drag Pack factory cars. That will then put a rest to the pro Stock madness as we know it.
Ray and David Barton along with GM are getting pretty close. Nobody even knows what cars are running down the strip unless the name is painted on the windshield. Gotta get back to factory looking cars like before or the Class may not survive. |
Re: Erica Enders
I'm with Sam on that one!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
