Fatal Trackhawk Crash

[Boris]

Some cars are now running faster than what Pro Stock cars ran in the 1980's (high 7's/low 8's).

And consider current Pro Stock cars (world record 6.4 @ 215 mph) require welded 4130 chrome-moly steel tubing, an integrated cage and safety restraints.

As many of us here used to race/still race lesser vehicles, this is all very sad.🙏

I had a Nova with a 427 then a 468 big block.
Cage, 12" slicks
power glide

We thought it was bad ass running 10.80s and driving it to the cruise night a half mile down the road.
The 468 was a little more radical and the best it ever ran was a 10.07.
Bought a 540 for it then sold most of the stuff.

Drove a Z06 and a Hellcat both running in the 10s. I loved that Nova, but good God are these new cars fast AND docile.
