Nick is very very smart. But to TRY a totally new platform and get it running with a totally new induction system at the same time, was just a bit too much. HEMI's are good, as good as the DRCE, not by the looks of it, really who knows. If Johnsons and Elite worked TOGETHER, maybe they would be right up with the GM's. Allen still does a good job, but maybe the $$$$ and a couple other cars testing things could have helped too. Remember KB Racing is a 2 1/2 car team pretty much with Butner.
Ferri will have the DRCE platform working for 2017 that you can count on. But think about the $$$ Michael is spending? Went from FULL GM, to FULL MOPAR, and now back to FULL GM equipment???? That is just WOW

Nick & Jake have what it takes to build that DRCE2 block...here is a good article on block honing from Nick Ferri.
http://www.fabricatingandmetalworkin...inning-finish/ Also just in...Ricky Jones is leaving NHRA in 2017 to start a family leaving Dad,Crew chief Rick Jones, Mark Ingersoll and Brian "Lump" Self to lead the three-car team in 2017. Ricky Jones Richard Freeman is spending allot of money to get back in a Chevrolet but hopes he can bring back some of the parts from 2014-2015. Vincent Nobile is driving Erica's 2015 Championship car so might have to build a new one for Erica & Jeg?? Dave 67 Nova Boy |

Hopefully soon, NHRA will OK the new Camaro, Mustang and Drag Pack factory cars. That will then put a rest to the pro Stock madness as we know it.
Ray and David Barton along with GM are getting pretty close. Nobody even knows what cars are running down the strip unless the name is painted on the windshield. Gotta get back to factory looking cars like before or the Class may not survive. |
