Interesting read. Erica was in 10 races that were decided by hole-shots and was 1-9 in those races. Ouch. Ashley's TF RT average would place him top 10 in PS averages. Unreal.

As a category, Top Fuel had the lowest percentage Speed Index (completed runs) leader of any Mission Foods class. Justin Ashley was the class leader with a season-long 68.64% completion rate. This would have ranked fifth in Funny Car, 12th in Pro Stock, and ninth in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
How can the seemingly more traction-suited dragsters be behind the Funny Cars? We’d venture to say it’s because of how hard the teams had to push across the board to both qualify and win races. There is a reason a half-dozen people were in contention to win a title entering the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals. Tire smoke is a sign of aggressive tuning, right?

right. many aborted runs with optimal air and temp all year long, then DK goes 300.53 to the 1/8 in Q3 @ finals. we all know what prock did.
why was pomona so good?

Only had a Quick Look at the list, but I think 33 or 34 cars

Thanks Dan. My guess would have been 30-35.

educated guess for 2024 entries. mite be wrong with some. actual amount of individual TF'rs mite be 35
if you count j. nataas' ride as 2nd individual chassis out of scrapper's fold. does rit pustari own his own?

Read it and weep JR (This is the one that really hurt) --J.R. Todd had the best reaction average in Funny Car with an insane .059, and the driver of the DHL GR Supra left first 72% of the time but completed only 58% of his runs under power

I guess John O and team need to pull their heads out of their a**es in 2025. Connie is not always a patient man.

Adding Dickie Venables should help.

if you do the nhra betting thing, might be worth putting a few bucks on JR to win it all in '25
