Yea, I'm wondering what happened to Epling. They weren't at MSHS Orlando last week. Grumpy Cat was.

 

[BULL]

I don't much of the history, if there even is any, between these two?

Is there more drama than what is apparent?

(Yeah, drag racing ALWAYS has drama at that level)

If I remember correctly... there was a weight issue a few years ago where grumpy cat was underweight and still got the win.

I can say this about the 2. Grumpy cat went 7.01 in bowling green when temps were around 80 degrees. 007 went 6.9x in Texas in minus DA

Weren't they like .003 apart in vegas.

That I don't know. They hyped it up but most of what I saw was no traction when it was happening and don't remember seeing any times. I didn't watch the whole video

Both broke after the 1st test pass.

In the video above, they were .03 seconds, not .003.

(hundredths, not thousandths)

I was there so…. The track prep was was crap. That being said….. both cars had the same conditions. Both managed to run 7.3’s within just a couple hundredths on separate passes leading up to the match. Epling decided it was dangerous and also not what the promoter promised so he declined to run under those conditions. Grumpy was declared the winner because he ran the faster of the test passes. The shop car I was with couldn’t get ahold of the track and ran a best of 8.40 with something like a 1.60 sixty ft. He packed it up and went home on Sunday morning before eliminations because he didn’t want to deal with it. Here’s the deal…. Vegas can be prepped just like any other track if the effort is made. That costs money however and for whatever reason….. it wasn’t spent. 😠. And to answer the other question….. yes. There’s bad blood

Thanks, that puts several things into perspective...

The video was slanted towards grumpy cat in my opinion.
