i'm not sure if u fallow drag radial racing alot but trust me when i say this and chad and corey both know this.the u.s nationals are not going to be just some push over event for them or anybody else.there are some x-tremely fast cars that will show up for this event.alot of them will be brand new from the ground up and some will just have new power plants.but i will say the 7.66 record WILL NOT BE AROUND AFTER THE U.S NATIONALS and the cut off for the 32 car field will be 8.54 or faster.

i'll see every one there and if i'm wrong then u can say i'm full of bullshit to my face.

First of all....what is your name? (ghost727)

Second.....of course I follow drag racing. lol
Third....I know there will be some tough contenders this upcoming usnatl...there is every year. But this year is going to be crazy....first off because of interest in the field...second because the rules are getting more flexible.
Fourth.....I honestly think with a few bugs worked out (like running pig rich) and a tad better 60' (like a 1.30) that their car has a 7.6 in it for sure....no doubt...not to mention if they run a clean pass. You know how that class is, one run your a hero the next you blow em off.....OR pull a wheel stand for 100 feet.

How about the f-body platform. (Silver thirdgen on the bumper in the pic)

"7.66@186 mph! Once again Rick Head blows away the record for fastest torque arm car and fastest Drag Radial car. This is not a 4 link, back halved race car. It has a full interior, weighs 3465 lbs, and uses BMR off-the-shelf Xtreme Duty suspension products with Mickey Thompson Drag Radials!"

And congrats to C&C Motorsports!
