08' Pro Stock Predictions?

[BWise]

OK, Its time for the 2008 Pro Stock predictions.
Last year It was all about 2 white Pontiacs, this year we hope to add some color into the mix. :cool:
Lets hear your thoughts?

[Jeff Chandler]

You'll see more cars in the 60's and if the right person at the right track with the right air can put it all together you WILL see a 50.

[Dr. Detroit]

I predict that in 2008 that the CHebby Engines will be the dominate engine combo again. :smt115
Heading towards 22 to 1 then any other engines combo ran.
This will be a increase from 2007 of 17 to 1 Chebby Engines owners in all the fields.:rolleyes:

By 2010 it will be a ALL CHEBBY ENGINE FIELD! :smt065

[markstang]

it will be yellow in the winners circle the most in 2008 for pro stock.

[HS 3131]

I think a Black and Silver Mustang with FORD power will be up there.

[Jeff Chandler]

Are you referring to NHRA Pro Stock Mark?

As for the BB's dominating, I bet we will see the SBF and Chevy's as the ones to beat.

[Jeff Chandler]

I hope so Tim because that would mean your running with us:)

[HS 3131]

Dont know what Im gonna do yet,not real happy with the shootout deal thats gonna go down next year. Busted my butt to get in the eighth spot and then get punched in the face.

[Jeff Chandler]

I wouldn't worry about it Tim, they will change it like they did last year. I was told only top 8 guys from 06 would be allowed to enter and if their were no-shows then they would have no one other than 06 competitors allowed in. After our shootout they changed. Go figure.

yeah NHRA.... :smt021

[John Langer]

Good air in Florida, a white car will run .50's.

[John Langer]

it will be yellow in the winners circle the most in 2008 for pro stock.

I dont have a yellow car, runner ups dont get their picture taken :)

[Butch Kemp]

Good air in Florida, a white car will run .50's.

I guess you figure that extra weight wont hurt that much after all??

[Gary Kubisch]

it will be yellow in the winners circle the most in 2008 for pro stock.


Could have meant the Harris Camaro...........

[Jeff Chandler]

yeah NHRA

It's the NMCA forum...

[HS 3131]

Thought you wern't coming back?

[BWise]

Thought you wern't coming back?

Just talkin smack! :o

[HS 3131]

Just talkin smack! :o

Who?Me or John?

[BWise]

John. ;)

[John Langer]

Thought you wern't coming back?

I didn't say it was me. I heard big power came out if Indiana with a BBC and Edelbrock heads.

[HS 3131]

You swith over to the dark side and build a BBC with Edelbrocks?

[Jeff Chandler]

No, Baskin did. It's the engine going back into Bruces old car.

[HS 3131]

Wow those guys are really pushing it. Wonder if they need a driver for one of those cars?

[Jeff Chandler]

Probably Tim;)

[Chris Uratchko]

Should be a good year!!!! Crazy how much quicker the class gets every year.

[BWise]

I believe low 60's high 50's will be more common.
The quality and technology of the class is overwhelming, Pro style cars are being built, chassis are lighter and more efficient, engines are fitted with the very latest technology. Man..........., If I had half the technology available ????

This one time entry level street class has turned into a sophisticated Super Stock or comp car class and I don't see an end to it :cool:.

Who remembers 10 years ago, Real Street. Cagle winning with low 10's ETs.
I'm still running the same junk, and still not winning!!:(

I think a new class should be born : Nostalgia Pro Stock , compile all the old junk and race! :-D

[John Langer]

I remember when Cagle went 6.99 at 101 in the Buick and that was unheard of. The next year at Moroso, 46 cars tried to qualify for a 32 car field. I think the number #1 spot at that race was 6.53??? People were spraying, glass front ends, 434" motors, 18* heads with 23* intakes rolled to fit. If you had a 10k motor, you were a player, now even if you have a 10k set of heads doesnt guarantee anything.

[BWise]

I have the qualifing and ladder breakdown here somewere from Moroso 97'
Time warp, wow.

I had a 482ci Olds w/iron heads, 3700 lbs.
went 7.07 @ 97mph
.483 rt
1.58 60ft
30.10 baro.
77*
28x10.5 M/T tire
10.5 tire pressure
37* timing
112 octane fuel

:cool:

[John Langer]

Can anyone other then Brad name the 8 cars that were in the shoot out at the Moroso '97 race?

[Jeff Chandler]

Scott Budisalich
James Phipps
Steve Cagle
Jimmy Hack
Doug Hite
Scott Ellerd or Everet or something...He hada Nova 68-72
David Henninger
Dan Paolini....I think

Not sure but thatswhat I think I remember.

[HS 3131]

[Butch Kemp]

X2, In 1997 I was in the process of getting married,building a new house,working 60+ and having my first kid.Times were good back then.
I wish the economy was like that again.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My prior Buick was a clone to Steve's car...It was a cool scene in Bolwing Green when I parked with him at the Buick Race in '97.
Wasn't hard to get a Buick to run like that............But now,The parts don't exist to keep up w/ a Buick that won't go "BOOM"!

[John Langer]

1997, i was a sr in college and qualified dead last in a 32 car field at moroso. Same car, still runnin; a Pontiac

[Sam Vincent]

I think a Black and Silver Mustang with FORD power will be up there.

You ready to build a TFS "A" headed 522" . I found a block.

[Jeff Chandler]

[D. Murray]

You ready to build a TFS "A" headed 522" . I found a block.

3500.lbs Tim, Tim. I'm sure that Matukas chassis can handle it. Good Luck

[HS 3131]

3500.lbs Tim, Tim. I'm sure that Matukas chassis can handle it. Good Luck

It will handle it, That would be alot of lead 800#.

Big block Ford huh Sam. That would be different.

[Scott McMullen]

Pro Stock Is the best Class in the NMCA and I can't wait to See all the New Guns for 08 I'll be Routing on a Certain Orange and Purple Camaro FORD POWER BABY!!!

[HotStreet3134]

[Sam Vincent]

Big block Ford huh Sam. That would be different.

Or we can take my LAE crank, put it in a 9.5" Dart CGI with Pro Kings, dominator at 3150 with glide.

[John Langer]

If a Matukas chassis can handle alot of weight, maybe I should get one?;)

[Chris Uratchko]
