I believe so. I remember being at the 2003 World Finals and having a few drinks from it during his infamous post-race pit party

there are press releases out regarding nhra's newest 'official widget' with the 'official discount app'. in the article
they mention on-site activation at select nhra nat. events. i hope they are @ bir. i really want to see what they are trying
to pitch. to be honest, i never knew about them until rwr brought them aboard. i have tried to sample their offerings;
a ticket with an advertisement of 20% off, turned out to be more like a 5% savings, and you tie your money up way in advance
of ticket date.

i was going to go very early this morning, but work said no. head over very early tomorrow.

the MPH was incredible
Cue the allowed blower OD with that combination dropping from 1.17:1 to 1:1 beginning at Indy. If that car has the ability to run 286mph it also has the ability top run 5.20s once it's sorted out. NHRA ain't gonna have nuthin' to do with that. Bartone went what, 5.28@283 in testing and Tech got on that like a rat on a Cheeto.

72 mph gain in the back half. Pretty damn sporty.

Let's hope not. E.T. is what wins races and they've only made a few runs. No need for changes yet.
They are not likely to change the OD. Del wants to try to run a restrictor plate under the blower. It’s been in the plans all along, they just need to test it.
The problem with this combo is that it will never front half very well. So it’s always going to back half better than the other combos. Del thinks a restrictor will kill 10-15 mph off the top. It might gain a little in the front, but not a lot.

Not really. It’s a second car. 4 disc clutch (no management), single mag, 85% nitro, and max of 17% overdrive.
