Technically Chief had no time in the Crow either. Familiar car design and parts maybe but no test time.

Yeah, I've seen that look before. Boss paid all this money, excepts nothing short of winning, attitude screws up the team. Same as my day job.

Not sure if it was scripted but that's the second time I've seen them hold Chief back from adding more or changing the car and be right. Considering his first run was good but squirrely, best to run the second as is since you already have one in the bag and getting a better lane.

I have to admit Chiefs pretty good at getting his car down a SH_T track, that actually won the race for them. The Mopar had more power. on a prepped track the outcome probably would had been different. I am kinda amazed that Chief also treed Alex. Alex is a pretty good leaver. As for him making the switch from a Pro Stock to a Pro Mod (not really a Pro Mod).......NO BIG difference. Just a transbrake button and throwing one lever......im thinking he can handle it, driving is driving! My-Gosh.....it was only an 1/8 mile race! LOL!

This was not a no-prep event...

So what your say is that the track was prepped just like on a normal race day (AKA Norwalk).

So does someone actually knows if the track was prepped and how much. This wasn't a Bracket Race it was two 2,500 HP plus Pro Mod cars going down the track.

No......I was not there I don't know of any prep that was or was not done so I asked a question unlike some non-drag racers Im trying to get info before I make assumptions. You do realize I've been racing since 1970.....RIGHT. Freaking KIDS!

I would never bet against Chief as a driver and a tuner. Richard Rawlings did and showed his ignorance of drag racing at the same time. He spent tons of money and trucked in a whole crew of people and still lost. He probably should watch some Youtube video on how it is done and at the same time find out who Jeff Lutz is too. Rich dumba--. PONTIACS ROCK ON!!. Jim

So true! Chief & company have more than proven themselves by now but it was still cool to see them do big things with Pontiac power again and in epic fashion! RR proved to be as out of touch with drag racing as anyone could have imagined, plus his bla-se Hollywood attitude made him an epic douche. Apparently ignorance is bliss

It's great fun to see these old, outdated, out of business engines beat up on the latest and greatest. No matter what the format, and all the BS of "reality TV", it still makes me happy. Probably over half the audience that watches the shows weren't born when the last traditional Pontiac left a GM assembly line. Keeping the brand alive and relevant, that's for sure. If Pontiac was still in business, think how many cars he could have sold for the brand.

Very, very well put. I feel exactly the same. Great stuff here!

Not TRUE see video sent in PM to me some time ago.
(hi did you notice who was standing behind the crow)

Looks like like a guy named Travis on the left side.

So the Crow did have some test time (just like the Pro Mod) Not much, but enough to know it was going to 60 ft really well. But as you said, not a lot of time in that car. But Marty had years in that car. Sorry looks like the video has expired but the video did show the new Crow testing on the track.
