[1969 RS/SS DROPTOP]

Conditions were good and the cars were flying, How about Greg Anderson's weekend?, National Record 6.53 at over 211mph!! Killer run!

Anderson's 6.53 ET 211 mph just might be the best times we will see this year in pro stock cars. :beers:

 

[Everett#2390]

Could be an impressive statement. 6.53 - WOW!!

While I am happy for Anderson, I am also tired of his domination in pro stock. I do admire his ability but I also like variety. I was surprised Erica Enders made it in. The Force team went down in smoke, congrats to Ron Capps.

I agree. But what does that team know or doing that other GM teams are missing? It seems like not too long ago that there were just breaking the into the 6.60's @ 200 ish.

I "predict" a 6.49 pass this year! Maybe Houston!

 

[68Lemans blue]

I think Pacific Raceway is where 6.49 or better will happen ,cool evening air srounded by evergreen trees lots of oxygen less than 50ft above sea level...That way I can see it live...Happy Motoring

I caught the ending of the qualifying sat. night on ESPN, but couldn't find the race yesterday.
What happened? Was it aired early sunday?

 

[Musclecar]

It came on at 4 CST yesterday... I couldn't believe the qualifying on Saturday didn't come on until 12am CST. There was no way I was going to stay up and watch it. Anyone playing the fantasy drag racing this year? I'm in..

I wish they'd show some of the AMS Pro Mod races with times like 5.912 at 242.63 mph and they still look like cars!!

Only a few things can keep G. Anderson ahead. He found secrets in the manifold/head work area, he found the "sweet spot" for traction hook-up, or he can hide NoS better than NHRA can find it. Personaly, I think he has teh combo right.

 

[ZZ_430]

Those Summit cars have both been torn down many times, they found something for sure in their combo.

It's not easy to cheat these days

On a serious note, I'm sure you've heard about Eric Medlen's testing crash on Monday.

Here's a link to the story and photos:

I have been following Erics accident. Does not sound good. Say some prayers for him.

I read somewhere that they think the tire is at fault.

What Anderson has going for him is Jason Line building the engines. I'm sure you saw he ran 6.55 but redlighted. That team is going to be hard to beat. Look how many years the professor dominated the class.

I read an article in National Dragster this week that I think explained why Anderson and Line are at the top.

Basically they are running more RPM's than the others, and it has to do with camshaft design, ect.

Wasn't Anderson crew chief for WJ back in the 90's, and Line working for Gibb's on his NASCAR engines? Based on the article it looks like maybe Line is applying NASCAR engine tech to their NHRA engines.

Anderson has been at it since he was 15 with his dad. He was the CC for Johnson in the late 80's and early 90's then went out on his own. Ole WJ wasn't happy about it. Guess they did find something since the rest of the field has been playing catch-up for the past five or six years.
