Yes, Hellcat had there own class up until 2019 as I recall. I had the A8 hellcat world record for a number of years at 8.79 @ 156. That was in the late 2017, ancient history now the A8 world record is 7.7 or so.
So you lined up with Epling?

It just hit me, this is liberal projection. He is assuming everyone is as wealthy and care free as he and he is therefore entitled to dictate his views on the masses. He owns 2 EV’s and considering buying a third, plus owns multiple ICE vehicles!?!?!? WTF!

We are dirt, we just need to do as Coal says because he knows what is best for US! Thank you for trying to save us poor ignorant bastards! God love you Coal!
I can't take this thread serious. Just saying.

I run with Epling, he is a good friend. He ran 8.68 in his manual and I ran 8.79 in Kentucky. I am a racer, EV stuff is for commuting.

Never said everyone here is wealthy, said there are some wealthy members here and to go to MSHS to see the wealth.

I liked to run different events when I was racing. I wasn't interested in being the fastest just competitive in my class.

Did you see where they buried it to smother the fire?
Yes, but the symbolism...

Yep, I get it, racing is soo much fun. I encourage everyone to get to the track. Keep it stock and just have fun.

Mine is tuned with different things done to it. I just don't have the energy anymore. It's a lot of work.

Selling off most of the stuff.

I understand, when I would meet up with Epling and Phasthemi, it was a 14 hour drive to Kentucky, then all the racing stuff that is needed which is a shit load of work, then load up and drive home. I used to drive thru the night to get home.

The closer the car is to stock the less work is needed. Maybe get it closer to stock to reduce the work?

That is the allure of the Demon170, take it off the trailer, warm it up, check tire pressure and run it.

I only "race the GPS".

Okay, not really, but it is fun to see the estimated time of arrival get beat by up to 40%. Curvy roads are what I like, and the occasional 60-120 spurt just for kicks. Where the road's straight enough to allow it.

Have "raced" another vehicle with the 'Cat once. That was a pickup, on a bit of a grade (for around here, a mountain in Florida) with a passing lane that the pickup's driver didn't want to get out of.

It's over for me. I started losing on purpose because I was tired after a long day.

Some guys drive to the track with their Tesla Plaid or Lucid Sapphire and race it, no burnouts, no nothing (there is the cheatah stuff the Plaid has to do).

Sounds like you had a ball. That is the addiction of the supercharged V8 Mopar, so much fun

A little. The used car market appears to be crashing. I am playing with the idea of buying used car, any thoughts on regarding used car values?

If Middleast becomes a regional war and it sure looks that way, gasoline may spike.

Most of this is a circle back.

I always buy what I want within reason. The deal needs to be right whatever that is at that moment.

Plenty of oil available. It's a renewable energy source. Always has been.
