I was there😀🇺🇸! These cars are the fastest original cars on the planet 🌏 . When they fire them up the ground shakes! Long live these iconic Muscle cars! SS/AH😀🇺🇸
If Herb had those tires and wheelie bars in 68, he'd give these cars a run for their money. At Indy back in 68 there were a slew of them running. We had one set of points and switch the other points on for advance on our Hemi.
now that they Allow front steering like the Rack and Pinion style , how many cars have switched to Front Steer? and I am pretty sure they rev slightly higher then 7,500 R.P.M.
Race tracks close due to lack of interest. Well, dragracing moved away from it's origin. Admissions are usually paid by people who enjoy what they can relate to. How many can relate to top-fuel racing? Go guys, keep it lit. By the people for the people!
How much horsepower do these modified hemis have? As I recall, the original 426 hemi was advertised at about 425 horsepower - but was underrated for insurance purposes and was more like 500 horsepower or more. These current cars must be 2 or 3 times that much horsepower to run 8s and 160+ ??? So what mods have been made to do that?
15k for a win? I'm guessing one engine cost more than that. Do they even make enough to break even? I worked with a guy who went to the nationals in one of the lower classes. He won and did not make enough to pay for his travel expenses.
Of course they’re better than pro stock. We watched them to see real cars race. Pro stocks should not be allowed to use the word stock and the funny cars should not be called cars.
Long runoff area means they don't need the parachute to stop even though their capable speed requires it to be installed. There are tracks that they use them.
The Brand X camps cried so much about them being so much faster, several years back NHRA gave them their own class, because there's no competition but their own kind, Hemi vs. Hemi!

The Hemi Challenge is better than watching Pro Stock

They have ruined pro stock
My favorite drag race of the year!
Love watching the Hemi Challenge.
Cars so fast the only competition is themselves. Hemis are just awesome
Awesome race every year! I'm a bowtie guy all year until the Hemi challenge. Lol
So many gorgeously prepared cars
The very best class in racing
Oner my favorite series❤ thanks guys
Awesome! Oh the memorories....
I bought a 1990 Dodge Daytona in 1990 from Jim Pancake out of his Chrysler dealership in Delaware, Ohio.
Last years was Awsome being there live.
I wish I was there as a Fan or Competitor, the Best Division in NHRA,
"Dragracing keeps you young!" 👍
Hemi cars, nuff said!

Comella + Warfish + Militia power = VICTORY!
The king of the V8's!
Steve Comella, and Jimmy Daniels are good guys.

SUPER STOCK IS MY FAVORITE ESPECIALLY THE MOPARS
Herb is the man

So what mods have been made to do that?
3200 lbs and 900+ HP.
so that's kind of like dropping two 426 hemis into a Dodge Dart like my first car - a 1966 Dodge Dart Gt@@brucesumner6993
Iron blocks & heads !! Wow.

I see parachutes on cars but don't see them being used ???

makes sense, so does each track get to decide to enforce the rule or not?@@brucesumner6993
