Well at least there will be 3 events a year for a charger like this. TS, Sheids & this one 
So much for budget racers
So much for budget racers
I thought pat ran like a 10.65 on fuel only. I wish I could come to this race, and I really wish I could compete, looks like a really good time :thumb:
Close.. Texas in 07 10.83 @ 126
That was with the bottle.
Casper was running a GT42 with dual fuelers but one was an Industrial Injection mod'd pump. Casper weight 6420 on the scales in TX.
Im totally down! Lets start plannin.
You want to pick me up from an airport :rofl:
No your gonna join us and Abby or um Carlos for the road trip haha. Remember you are my babysitter. :rofl:
My prediction.... A sled puller will take this one.
The chargers won't be that hard to light and unless these guys have done some racing on a .4 protree, a good drag racer will kick the pullers butt off the line by 2 or 3 tenths and you will not make that up with these rules. A guy like Rob, Michael, Buck, Jess, Stingpuller, Camomax, Trent, and Seth will will have a huge advantage off the tree. I'd say Dmitri too but he will be looking for the squeeze and forget to go. He's kind of slow on the tree anyway.
I'd say a truck that can run 10.5 consistently and a driver who can cut a .10 to .15 light on the .4 protree will be very difficult to beat.

:rofl::rofl: Have you ever tried to light a 3.3-3.4 charger as a single....? Theres 2.6 pullers doing it, and i imagine some bigger... I forgot about most pullers not knowing how to race though.
If they use Scheids rules, they wont have a big turnout imo, people no longer have the ability to just bush down there chargers they have now.
this remains to be seen. this is part of the reason the money is getting payed up front,so it will be known what the purse will be .if dont sell all 100 tickects it will be winner take all...
a .400 tree worries me some, im decent noot good on a .500.it will be fun...
I agree with Ken here. To me this is a two part deal. First you must qualify. Spool up means nothing at there. Reaction time is not part of the equation.
But in the race it means a lot! If they stick to the auto start and the Pro tree(Which I think they should) you will see some of top qualifiers go down in the first round. The guy that knows how to play the Auto Start and force his opponent's hand in staging will do very well.
I really think the winner will be one of the last four to qualify. The trick to is going to be balancing spool time with ET.
50K race
It will be tuff to run a mid ten with these rules. If they tech the trucks hard my thoughts are high 10's to low 12's. It really will be a drivers race and a sledpullers power. This should be good. Brayden, You better get working on a new whoop a$$ turbo:hug:! This will be a good time. Jeff

i dont think many racers will have a time with spooling or staging.if you know the guy work out who lites the first bulb first ext. if you dont know the guy wait for him to light the bulb first ,if they double buld you wait 45 seconds then roll in ready light both bulbs and dust em ...
