He backed it up with an 11.02 at 127. It's all in the combination and what he does inside those stock castings.

Polyglas tires hook well, you just have to have the car set up for it and drive it out of the hole. Tougher on a stick shift.

Do most of these guys have timing management systems to cut down on wheel spin? m

Yes & no, respectively.

NHRA recently dropped it's bar limit to 11.50 (like IHRA) for *stock* cars, so the F.A.S.T. cars have been sneakin' by because of that...but, since some of the guys are beatin' the 11.50 mark pretty handily, they've had to install bars. The ones I've seen are VERY discreet, and you've gotta take a hard look to see 'em.

As for "timing management", that's a big, BIG *no no*...
