A few examples of why I love NHRA drag racing, especially Stock Eliminator. June 17-19, they're racing in Bristol, TN.
First picture is John Fisher, of Wake Forrest, NC, and his 1980 Chrysler Cordoba, with a 360, 4 bbl for motivation. He ran a best of 11.92 @ 108 mph.
Second, Bill Howell, of Aiken, SC, with his 1990 Dodge Caravan, powered by a 2.2L, 4-cyl, turbo. 14.83 @ 89 was his best run.
Third, for Chevy fans, McNeal Freeman, Atlanta, GA, 1987 Chevrolet Caprice, 262 V6. These cars were such pooches from the factory, it's a minor miracle that he ran 15.00 @ 85 mph.
