Don was at cecil with his car in August. Car was fast but He has a little problem driving it IMO. I am not in favor of the non normally aspired motors but got a little beat up on that a few months back when I mentioned that on the Site. I don't think NHRA is going to beat up the Mustang to bad because Ford spends money and other than John Forces Mustang bodies they are not out there like GM and Chrysler. I think there is only maybe 2 Fords in Pro Stock that try to qualify. Maybe they will let the Nickey camaros run with the supercharger and do something for the Mopars. Then NHRA can get rid of all the other Stock classes and run Stock Eliminator like Pro Stock eliminator. I bet they would love not to tech ALL those Stock Eliminator cars! Out of hand like everything else.

Thats all changing. Ford is jumping into Pro Stock. Larry Morgan and I think Erica Anders. New engine program. They also have a new Funny Car engine as well. GM is leaving and Ford is going ahaed full tilt

I think Erica is already running a Ford. Interesting to see. Maybe bug Bob Glidden again??? Wonder if Warren J. will keep his K+N sponsorship for next year?

These cars are beasts. I just saw over on Classracer.com where the Tasca Ford CJ was reported to go 9.2/147 at a test and tune in NH last evening. Some people are wondering about the roll cages that aren't legal from the factory. Fezell went 9.83 in A/S and was told he couldn't dial under 10.00 because of roll cage and not get kicked. These cars will be in the 8's and maybe there will be a special class like SS/AH for the '68 Hemi's for these cars. CJ Shootouts? Wouldn't it be neat if NHRA could figure a way to run the CJ's with the Challengers and Camaros, keep them basically stock appearing and heads up. 1970 prostock all over again!

Yea, their own class. I like that. Let the factories fight it out like the late 60's early 70's!
