Awesome to see Megan Meyer win!
We are becoming fast fans of Alex Laughlin, he put both of the Summit cars on the trailer yesterday - one with a holeshot I believe. He's got some unique talent in that he can jump from a Radial car at a $50k event in GA, to a pro-modified car, to a pro-stock car....and win in any of them. We'd much rather watch him than Tanner Gray - who appears to have disappeared into the NASCAR abyss....

Megan Meyer is doing well and has such a great attitude! She is very supportive of her team
mate's.
Alex can drive anything with wheels. I think he won Promod two weeks ago in the
Vette? Can't wait to go the races and see them live! Oh...and get autographs on new
postcards. Like to go to Virginia Nats this year.

John Force wheeled his Peak Chevrolet Funny Car to the head of the field during Friday qualifying at the Virginia NHRA Nationals. The 16-time champion, running Herculiner colors at Virginia Motorsports Park, ran a track-record 3.899-second pass at 321.88 mph to get halfway to his first pole of the season.
“My crew chiefs and other crew chiefs say this is the smoothest track on the circuit, and that’s what we live for. It was still a little warm but still ran .89, so they did a good job,” Force said. “I won the first race here [in 1995] and last year I was in the final here and lost to [daughter] Courtney, with this same car and crew with Daniel Hood and Brian Corradi and that car was fast, and her car was red and my car has Herculiner on and it’s red, too. That run won’t last [for No. 1] tomorrow; the kids all know what’s out there so they’re going to shoot for that.”
Clay Millican ran a track-record 3.749-second pass in the first qualifying session to take the lead in Top Fuel after the first day of racing at the eighth stop on the 24-race NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series tour. He's ahead of Las Vegas winner Mike Salinas by .005-second ahead of Saturday qualifying.
“When I crossed the finish line I looked up at the scoreboards and thought it said 3.79, which would have been a pretty good run,” Millican said. “But it also could have been a 3.74. I got on the radio and asked, but no one answered. Turns out it was the 3.74; it didn’t surprise Mike, but it did me.”
Pro Stock made its return to the NHRA circuit and K.B. Racing did so authoritatively. Four of the five K.B.-powered cars are at the top of the field with Jason Line at the top. He made the best pass in both qualifying sessions and is in the No. 1 spot on the back of a 6.563-second lap. Line is followed by 2017 champ Bo Butner, multi-time champ Greg Anderson and Denver native Deric Kramer.
Matt Smith found the cure for what ailed him at the previous stop on tour (Atlanta) and made the quickest run in both sessions. He's at the top of the Pro Stock Motorcycle heap with a 6.844-second hit. That's .006-second better than Eddie Krawiec, who is at the lead of the three-bike Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson contingent.
There will be two more sessions beginning at 12:45 p.m. Eastern Saturday.

September's NHRA event expected to go on as scheduled
The listing real estate agent in Berks County, Pennsylvania, near Reading, Pa., says his “phone has been ringing off the hook with inquiries,” now that Maple Grove Raceway has been put up for sale.
The dragstrip that has been the site of NHRA national records, Countdown drama and highly desirable mineshaft conditions when the Mello Yello Series has visited each fall went on the market Monday for $8 million. The asking price includes campground facilities, expansive income-producing parking, two liquor licenses, several residential rentals, office/event buildings, numerous outbuildings and racing equipment, among other assets. Maple Grove is composed of 111 acres of racetrack grounds and 14 other parcels totalling 450 acres.
A prepared statement from the facility said family members of Maple Grove founder Alfred Stauffer “have decided to pursue other interests,” but their vision “is to see Maple Grove’s legacy continue to grow through new, energetic owners who wish to promote NHRA drag racing.” And Jim Bedorf, of the Camp Hill-headquartered Bedorf-Prince Team of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, said the majority of inquiring parties is interested in preserving the racing business.
As for the reason the family would like to sell the property, the staff wrote, “Well this is where one answer is just not enough, because there is not one single reason. Above all, the original families of the founder, Alfred Stauffer, have decided to pursue other personal interests. Running a world-famous facility and maintain approximately 450 acres is not an easy venture. The families are seeking new owners for Maple Grove Raceway now because they want to see the track continue and advance to the next level.”
Moving forward throughout at least this year, the staff’s message is that “we wait and keep business as usual” and that the staff is finalizing the 2020 season schedule and considering “scheduling for years to come.” It pledged “a smooth transition with staff, racers, fans, sponsors, event partners, and the community for the new owners.”
A backdrop for such colorful drag-racing legends as Funny Car phenom Jungle Jim Liberman and backup girl Jungle Pam and Pro Stock’s Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, it was also the hometown track for five-time Top Fuel champion Joe Amato. Maple Grove Raceway began as Brecknock Speedway, an oval dirt track for sprint cars and motorcycles. Then it became Maple Grove Park Drag-O-Way in 1962, reinvented as an asphalt one-fifth-mile dragstrip.
Jessica Hatcher, NHRA director of media relations and communications, said this September’s Mopar Express Lane Nationals -- the 35th edition of the track’s premier event there -- will proceed as scheduled. She said, "NHRA has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Maple Grove Raceway community and expects to continue that relationship for years to come. We look forward to seeing fans out there in September ... when we kick off the Countdown To The Championship."
In the wake of Old Bridge Township Raceway Park at Englishtown, New Jersey, halting NHRA action last year, news of a change at Maple Grove sent the Northeast drag-racing community into a bit of a bout of apprehension. But the Maple Grove management staff allayed fears by speaking to its racers, fans and marketing partners in an open letter.

Two-time NHRA Pro Stock champion Erica Enders barely escaped a fire in her Chevrolet Camaro at the back end of a qualifying run in the NHRA Pro Mod class at Summit Motorsports Park at Norwalk, Ohio, on Saturday.
Enders, who won the NHRA's Pro Stock title in 2014 and 2015, crossed the line with the scoreboard showing a record-setting speed run of 261.22 mph as her car burst into flames.
"I had just made a pretty great run -- our best of the weekend and reset the speed world record," Enders said. "I hit my chutes and then went to the transmission to make sure it was in neutral and right at the stripe, I knew the motor had let go.
"It was a terrible sound. I'd done it before and I knew exactly what it was."
What Enders described next was nothing short of chilling.
"At that point, the cockpit started filling up with smoke," she said. "My thought process was I need to get the car stopped as quickly as I can and in the process of that to make sure I get my fire bottles. So I reached up to pull the fire pin and you don't realize how bad you suck at holding your breath until you need air."
"I was running out of air pretty quick and it was getting really hot in there and at that point, I just needed to stop and the car got sideways on me because I needed to stop so quickly. At that point, I'm blind because of the smoke and the flames and I'm out of air and I just needed to get out."
Enders said the battle with her seatbelts was the next hurdle as her cockpit was filling with smoke.
"I hit my seatbelts once I was stopped and then my focus was to get my window net down, but without having vision and in a pressure situation was more challenging than one might suspect," she said. "That was the biggest issue I had -- getting my window net down to get out. I knew the Safety Safari guys where there because I could hear them yelling.
"I finally found the first button with my thumb and I hit it. I don't even know if I got the second button, I just dove out of the car and I was on my stomach laying on the ground and yelling, 'My back is burning, my back is burning' so they hosed me down with the fire extinguisher. At that point, it quit burning, but I had no air and was choking and I just pushed myself up and got on my knees."
Out of the car, Enders said, she was choking.
"As I lifted my eyes up, I saw a bunch of yellow that the Safety Safari wears and the first person I saw was (driver) Justin Bond, who I ran next to," Enders said. "He still had his safety equipment on and I assumed it was my competitor. I could only see his eyes and he was like, "Get your helmet off, get your helmet off!" So he helped me take my gloves off and he took my safety equipment for me and was yelling at Safety Safari to get me some oxygen.
"I was choking for air. I guess I had inhaled so much smoke and carbon that it made me sick and I think I puked on the race track. I was coughing up all kinds of stuff. It was definitely not a pleasant situation. The safety guys and guys got my arms and walked me to the ambulance, where I got some oxygen."
Enders was checked out by medical staff onsite and cleared. #NorwalkNats
After getting her bearings, Enders' thoughts turned to her Pro Stock car and that qualifying in that class was minutes away. And, yes, Enders was back in the car minutes after being cleared to drive. Her Pro Mod car, however, was done.
"As soon as I got done getting checked out, I could see my whole team and I asked them if my Pro Stock car was ready and that's when my whole thought process changed," she said. "Once I got cleared from medical, (the Pro Stock car) was my focus.
"I'm fine," she said. "After seeing the car, it's pretty crazy. You realize how quickly things can change. Life can change in a matter of a second. I'm thankful for Sparco and Bell and all of my safety equipment that kept my ass from burning. After seeing what's remaining of the car, I'm pretty lucky. I'm thankful that my angels where hard at work protecting me.
"The Good Lord saved me today. I'm thankful. Glad I get to focus on Pro Stock tomorrow and see if we can kick their ass."

It’s been a wild few weeks but like we always do, we learn from things thrown our way. I’ve had two of the sketchiest experiences in my almost 3 decade career in the last two races, but even that won’t stop us. . I want to get this out there tonight to leave it behind us before we embark on #WallyDay Tomorrow for pro stock.
First, i want to thank God and the angels of protection he assigns to me every time I get in any car. What we do is dangerous but it’s part of it, but knowing he’s got it under control is the ultimate comfort.
Im also thankful for such A supportive family. Both blood and racing. My sister was by my side in the ambulance from the first second I can remember and had my dad on the phone through it all. Being on the road for 300 days a year comes at a huge price and It’s refreshing to know that my core circle is so tight. In a crazy situation like I experienced today, I still remembered advice my dad programmed in my head my entire life...the key to speeding up, is slowing down. It worked today. I was blind and out of oxygen, but I was able to be calm enough to not crash and get out, unburned.
I also want to thank my team owner and partner, Richard Freeman. I’ve said it over and over the last 6 years...people are the most important part of the puzzle. I’ve wish my entire career for this crazy group. Richard has put together the most amazing group...not just on the pro stock side but with pro mod team as well. Without our fearless leader, we wouldn’t have all of the tools or any of the fun.
My car owner, Jim Hairston (and his family). This car was his baby and I’m so sorry that she is hurt but I’m sure we will fix her up. Jim, Jake and Clint are so amazing and I’m lucky to have the chance to drive their car.
My team. My boys. They work their tails off for me and us. Every time I get in either of my cars, I know, without a doubt, that I’m safe. This life isn’t easy and they are gone from their wives, girlfriends and children way too much. I’m glad we are in this together and I’m so grateful that they always have my back. Seeing their faces and getting to hug their necks after this today was good medicine. (Please mention all of them...rick rickie mark lump Justin Shane T Anthony Lin Jake big al chase Robert Joey oksas Chris Singleton Rodney Crabtree Stephen Hurley mike earl Kyle Casey Kelley Keith Royce lee Alex jeg etc.)
The safety safari. Thank you for being there as soon as I stopped the car. You guys (and gals) are amazing. I tried to thank each of you personally, but if I missed you...THANK YOU!
Lastly, i want to thank all of my racing family, friends and fans for checking on me. Once I finally got my phone back, I had hundreds of calls and texts. It means the world that y’all took the time to let me know you care. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
In typical ee fashion, I want to take the positive from every situation. Today could have gone a total different direction. Life can change in an instant. Tell the people you love every chance you get and make sure you know God’s got ya.
And...on the business side, you have just met the biggest safety advocate for pro mod you have ever seen. I’ve preached about being proactive in the past but shit just got real. Some significant changes need to be made to these cars...for all of the drivers. If they aren’t, I’m out. My guys are behind me 100% and we are making them, starting Monday, on all 3 of our PM cars.
Again, thank you for all of the calls and texts. You guys mean the world to me and I’m a grateful girl tonight. Be sure to tune in tomorrow, we plan on wrecking shop in prostock!

I was sick last week and did not see it. I was looking what extra weight you are turning with 302 cu in,it is not just a lower first gear. You have a bigger heavy clutch,heavy bigger trans,bigger heavy out put yoke,bigger heavy new[3 inch]drive shaft,and you have a bigger heavy yoke that you hurt the pinion putting on. Now could be the time to think.
67 Nova Boy

Paul,
The clutch is a twin disc { All McCloud} with a much lighter flywheel. Went from a 30LB 11" to an aluminum 12 LB 10.5. The rear/front yoke is bigger and so are the u-joints. 1310 to a 1350. Did break the pinion
threads and nut but all is new. The drive shaft went from a factory unit to a PST 3" almost double the size. The balancer is smaller with less weight so I took allot of weight off the engine.
Every thing I touched, I made better/stronger. It did start up but am having issues with the mini starter. It does not engage some times so I took out and brought back to where I bought it and was checked out. All good and told to add shim. I added one shim...same thing so I added another shim. Same result, so not sure what to do next.
Allot of fun getting to the starter!

If the front joint and yoke is bigger,drive shaft is bigger,trans is bigger,rear joint and yoke is bigger,clutch is twin disc is bigger and you lighten flywheel and all is good I do not see it. Only first gear is lower and no other gear is different in the trans, I think other gears are different too. If you take off parts and weigh them and weigh the ones you put on,then you have something. Going to a lighter fly wheel you have a different dance step on the street and it is not easy,but I guess you know that. Street car or race car are not the same. Help me understand your car that has only a lower first gear,you said. Bigger and stronger for a 302 cu engine may slow the car down. The size of the balancer and flywheel I do not off set the rest of stuff[drive shaft is a lot more] in your mine,biger and stronger is not "the hot set up".

Paul,
M23Z gear ratios are... 2.99:1 – 2.04:1 – 1.47:1 – 1.00.
M20 gear ratios are...2.52, 1.88, 1.46, 1.00
Take off feel will be like 5:09 first gear with the 302...3:73 and my G70 X 14 GoodYears.
Not a race car...street car and much safer, so yes...it may not be up to race car standards
but is a safe car now. Tough to have all the right combinations...don't want to drive around
with 4:88's in the rear. Good for racing but not for a street car. The 302 will do fine with the
M23Z Much stronger/better trans then I had. The 302 never liked the 3:73 with the M20
trans when I took the 4:11's out, but I hope that the M23Z & cross ram will be a better
combo.What I did was best I could with the combination I wanted. It will work just fine
Paul. I did not want the best or the fastest car on the street anymore. Driving to the Grove
is feasible now with the 3:73. One tank of racing gas gets me there and back.

Dave-If you put race gas, a dual disc, and a 12 lb fly-wheel, with all your other parts, then it’s a race car. I found the safest, and easiest way to transport a car is with a trailer. When Paul was younger, we trailer-ed his car and now he trailers my car. You have a new truck that should pull the trailer with no problem and you will be safe. Good luck with your race car. Paul
Salvatore
07-17-2019, 09:16 PM
Pauly, I think Dave has a good set up now with a good clutch, trans, flywheel, and rear combo. Other than some minor bugs, this combo should suit him and his driving very well. Remember, he has Andy to help and also to run things by for his advice. All good except for a couple small gremlins.

07-17-2019, 10:24 PM
Sam I think you can tell what is a street car and what is a race car. That is what Dave is having trouble about. Race gas 12 lb wheel and etc is a race car. Sam do you have it. Paul. I hope he has fun with his race car.

Jeg Coughlin Jr. was second with a 6.953 at 197.51 and Matt Hartford is third after running 6.954 at 196.93.
“It’s really neat,” Freeman said. “I’ve always got to stand behind the cars and enjoy that, but we’re super excited. It’s great. It’s exciting and I can’t say enough about our program and the guys we have back there, and the other drivers. It’s been awesome.

Defending Funny Car event winner Robert Hight kept his impressive pace going at Sonoma Raceway, powering to the No. 1 spot on Friday during the NHRA Sonoma Nationals.
Clay Millican (Top Fuel), Alex Laughlin (Pro Stock) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) are also provisional No. 1 qualifiers in their respective categories at the 15th of 24 races during the 2019 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season. The event is also the second of three races during the NHRA’s famed Western Swing.
Hight, the current points leader and two-time Sonoma winner, went 3.858-seconds at 334.65 mph in his Auto Club Chevrolet Camaro SS. If it holds, Hight would rack up his eighth No. 1 qualifier of 2019 and 68th in his career. Shawn Langdon drove to the second spot with a 3.875 at 329.99, and Jack Beckman sits in third after a pass of 3.879 at 333.41.
“You know you’re always in for a treat when you come to Sonoma with the Friday night run,” said Hight, who also set the national speed record at the track in 2017. “It’s not like any other track we go to where the atmospheric conditions change so drastically. You know it’s going to be great conditions and this is a great race track. You just have to hit it right. I’ve attended every national event ever held here, first as a fan coming to the races, just dreaming to get to work on one of these cars, then a crew member and now a driver. I love coming here and it’s very special to me.”

Top Fuel’s Millican put up a season-best blast of 3.698 at 330.96 to go to No. 1 in his Parts Plus/Laris Motorsports dragster
Top Fuel’s Millican put up a season-best blast of 3.698 at 330.96 to go to No. 1 in his Parts Plus/Laris Motorsports dragster. It would be his third No. 1 qualifier of 2019 and 23rd in his career if it holds. Points leader and defending world champ Steve Torrence, who has won eight of the past nine races in the 2019 season, is second with a 3.717 at 325.85, and his father, Billy, is a spot behind in third after going 3.718 at 325.85.
In Pro Stock, Alex Laughlin went 6.520 at 210.80 in his Havoline Chevrolet Camaro to take the No. 1 spot on Friday. If it holds, it would give Laughlin, whose first career race in Pro Stock came at Sonoma in 2015, his second career No. 1 qualifier. Deric Kramer is right behind in second after his 6.523 at 210.93, while defending event winner Jeg Coughlin Jr. went 6.533 at 210.41 to sit third.
Defending Pro Stock Motorcycle world champ Matt Smith went to the top of the class on his Denso/Stockseth/MSR EBR thanks to his run of 6.779 at a track record speed of 200.83. Smith was the only rider to reach the 200 mph on Friday. Jerry Savoie is currently second after going 6.801 at 198.20, and Eddie Krawiec’s 6.838 at 199.85 currently puts him in third.

Top Fuel Harley racer Beau Layne was complaining of a hurt arm Friday as he was transported from Pacific Raceways to a local medical center following his accident at nearly 216 mph during qualifying for the NHRA Magic Dry Organic Absorbent Northwest Nationals.
Layne hit the opposite-lane guard wall and flew from his motorcycle immediately after registering a speed of 215.86 mph in his first qualifying attempt on the quarter-mile course just south of Seattle.
The Redding, California, rider carried the front wheel for about 1,000 feet, and when his front tire landed back on the pavement, his handlebars were turned awkwardly. He skated across the track from his left lane in front of fellow rider Tii Tharpe and hit the right guard wall hard, coming off his bike.
Although he stood up following the accident, NHRA officials later could say only that Layne was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
Layne underwent surgery Friday evening to repair undisclosed damage to his arm.
After Layne and his motorcycle were separated, he tumbled down the track while the bike rocketed through the shutdown area and split two catch fences.
Layne, winner earlier this season at the Phoenix and Gainesville events, sits second in points behind leader Tharpe with just this event and the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals left on the Mickey Thompson Tires NHRA Top Fuel Harley schedule.

“In a constantly changing battlefield, it’s adapt or die.” That’s the wisdom of the narrator of a Smithsonian Channel documentary about the B-52 aircraft.
And it’s what has kept NHRA icon John Force energized through the gut-ache of seeing longtime crew chief Austin Coil bolt from the sport, two longtime sponsors abandon him in the same year and two of his daughters step into his universe and then step away. It’s what propelled him to make changes for his PEAK Chevrolet Camaro team – changes that led him to his milestone 150th victory Sunday at Pacific Raceways, near Seattle.
Force missed the chance on Father’s Day at Tennessee’s Bristol Dragway from the top qualifying spot. He wasn’t going to let this one slip away – not against longtime rival Ron Capps, of Don Schumacher Racing, not on a track where the outrageous “64 Funny Cars” extravaganza made an indelible impression on him and fueled his romance with drag racing.
He didn’t miss out this time. He eliminated Jim Campbell first, then knocked aside points leader and teammate Robert Hight, and Jack Beckman, who just had defeated No. 1 qualifier Bob Tasca III. Against Capps, Force covered the 1,000-foot course in 3.971 seconds at 320.58 mph, watched rookie protégé Austin Prock claim his first NHRA and Top Fuel victory moments later, then climbed the fence and romped in the grandstands with the fans.
He and Prock shared the winners circle with Pro Stock’s Matt Hartford, who spoiled Greg Anderson’s chance to become the first pro racer in any class to sweep the Western Swing twice.
Force, who hadn’t won since mid-July 2018, ensured he would win at least one race a season again. Since he earned his first victory June 28, 1987, Force has won at least one event each season except 2009. And he indicated he’s hoping to keep doing that for several more years.
Applause from the fans is what drives him. “Walking and praying and hoping to make it and to feel that moment again just for a moment, and to hear that cheer of the crowd, you know, you’d think I’d be over it but I’m not. I still love it,” he said.
“My people, the team, really makes it happen and I’m just along for the ride. I have to give them credit. Those kids love me. When I really fail, they’re all over me trying to protect me. That’s what you need, that camaraderie, and that’s what I have.”
After Capps slapped the green winner’s hat atop Force’s head at the top end of the racetrack, Force said, “I surround myself with the best people – and the best sponsors. What I’ve done is taken their money and [hired] the best people. There are a lot of guys who have got me this win. To all the guys who were part of 150, you’re all a part of my life. Austin Coil, I love you. You stood by me. You called me every week and said I was screwed up but I could still drive. God bless you and [also-retired colleague] Bernie Fedderly.”
Then, relieved to have the “When’s he going to get No. 150” talk quieted, Force said with a wide smile, “I’m over this shit.”
“It’s just stress. And they hang the ‘150’ on you,” he added. “I’ve got the monkey on my back. It makes you nuts,” When he won his semifinal match-up Sunday, an announcer reminded him he had one more shot at a 150th triumph. “Well, just keep telling me that – that really helps,” Force jabbed. “Sooner or later it’s going to happen, if I don’t have a heart attack first.”
In the past, he said, “we just raced and did our thing and headed to the bar. It was the good old days. Now it’s like, ‘You got this!’ OK, great. What do I do about it? I just go out and do the best I can. And that’s all I can do.’
“As long as we get a win for the sponsors . . . They spend a lot of money. And we’re in a tough economy. I’ve got to prove I’m still in the game. I’m in the game and I’m feeling good,” Force said.
He might have thought this moment never would come. It came exactly 700 races after his career first, 32 years ago. But he was starting to think, “Either I’ve slowed down or they’ve all got better. These kids really amaze me, watching ‘em out there and the things they say and do.
“It’s all changing,” he said, “and I’ve got to adapt to it quicker and I’m doing that and having fun doing it. My four cars are coming around now, and I’m coming around.”
John Force is now back in the championship conversation with two races remaining before the Countdown fields are set for the six-race playoffs that end in November at Pomona, Calif.

NHRA PRO STOCK LEGEND WARREN JOHNSON UNHURT IN CRASH AT U.S. NATIONALS
Johnson was practicing for an exhibition race on Saturday
Warren Johnson won 97 times in the NHRA Pro Stock class during his career.
Warren Johnson, the “Professor of Pro Stock” and General Motors loyalist, turned in a startling performance that neither he nor the automaker had in mind Friday afternoon at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis at the NHRA Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals.
Johnson, whose 97 victories rank second only in the sport to Funny Car icon John Force’s 150, wrecked his Chevy Camaro early in his warmup run preceding his “Back To School” best-of-three match race against former protégé Greg Anderson.
The two are scheduled to begin their battle Saturday during the second overall pro qualifying session and finish during Sunday qualifying.
The passenger side of Johnson’s car made contact with the opposite guard wall in Friday’s exhibition pass after the rear end got loose and did a 180-degree turn. It came to rest along the left-side wall, facing the starting line.
Johnson was uninjured in the mishap.
He and Anderson have traded verbal digs throughout recent years, and this was a chance not only to pit the two who have 10 Pro Stock championships between them but also to hint at next year’s tribute to 50 years of Pro Stock action.
Johnson, a 38-year veteran of the sport, was on a solo pass when Friday’s accident occurred at about the 300-foot mark.
He was the winner against Ed “The Ace” McCulloch in March at Gainesville, Florida, in the Legends of Drag Racing’s “Unfinished Business” runoff.

JIMMY DANIELS WINS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE DODGE HEMI CHALLENGE AT NHRA U.S. NATIONALS
Opening session showcases Mopar-powered 1968 Dodge Dart and Plymouth Barracuda Super Stock cars
Jimmy Daniels and crew have the winners circle routine down pat. This is their fourth Dodge Hemi Challenge.
Jimmy Daniels of Yardley, Pennsylvania, is just 23 years old, but already he has four consecutive NHRA Dodge Hemi Challenge triumphs, and an angel riding on his shoulder, perhaps.
The No. 1 qualifier ran down Rich Locker with an 8.576-second, 156.01-mph in his 1968 Dodge Dart during Friday’s opening session of the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
Locker, who reached the final round on a bye run, finished 0.0664 seconds behind with an elapsed time 8.629 seconds at 153.67.
“We had some tough battles to get this fourth win. The semifinal was very close,” Daniels said after registering his 19th consecutive round win here.
“This Hemi Challenge is everything. We work all year for this. It means a lot for us. Special thanks to Dodge for continuing to support these cars and to the NHRA for allowing them to have the Hemi Challenge here in Indy,” he said.
“Ray and Dave Barton provide us with awesome horsepower. If it wasn’t for them, we would not be able to do this. I’m surrounded by my family here this weekend: my father, my mother, my girlfriend and my grandfather are here. This race is probably the coolest win of the four for me. Earlier this year, I lost my grandmother unexpectedly. We know she was watching over us tonight.”
Daniels launched first with an outstanding .021-second reaction time (.000 is perfect). But he spun his tires right away, allowing Locker to open a lead. But at about 500 feet down track, Daniels powered past him to claim the $15,000 winner’s share of the purse and custom-designed, 42.6-pound trophy.
On the eve of the five-round specialty race, Daniels had said. “It’s going to take a lot of consistency, a lot of fine-tuning by Ray and Dave Barton, and I have to do a good job on the tree.”
He scored the hat trick Friday night.
“It’s just incredible for Dodge and Mopar to put on such a cool event during the biggest drag race of the year,” Daniels said. “It means a lot to my father and myself. We came out to watch the race in 2003, before he started racing it in 2007.”
This 19th edition of the Hemi Challenge showcased Mopar-powered 1968 Dodge Dart and Plymouth Barracuda Super Stock cars. The cars feature distinct race packages and are for use solely on the drag strip. The Dodge Dart and Plymouth Barracudas are precursors to the modern-day package car, the Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.

I have been seeing that when they shut down the fuel cars, they take off the main fuel line hose. Does anyone know if that is NEW this year or a better way of shutting them down faster?

Robert Falcone opened Factory Stock Showdown eliminations at the NHRA Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals with a bang – literally.
The Pleasant Valley, N.Y., racer was unhurt Sunday afternoon after crashing his Sawmill Auto ’16 Camaro hard into the guardwall at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
Falcone’s car drifted toward the center line right after the launch. He tried to steer it back into his own lane to avoid colliding with opponent Allen Johnson, but it veered hard into the wall.
He exited the heavily damaged car on his own power.
