That's one hell of a launch.

 

I was waiting for someone to go that route-AWD tube chassis. I would, but I don't roll that kinda bank. Much luck to them, I hope to see it be successful and maybe make Brent Rau and Buschur have wished they kept AWD.

 

Christ.. get off the bandwagon..

 

the guy who owns ESX is married to one of the girls from "That 70's show"

 

What motor is in it? What's the sactioning body for this "pro stock" class?

Looks cool.

serious question now...

with those huge tires in the rear, is it really necesary to have awd??

another thing, how the hell do they have a ford 9" rear end in the front???

post the page where your getting this info from, Im curious

 

Any of the 'fast' FWD drag cars are running Ford 9" rear ends in the front of their cars. It's a longitudinally mounted engine, with a transfer case to shoot the power back up to the front. Like a 4x4 truck, minus the rear axle.

I was wondering the same things. Something sounds stupid to me.

 

Interesting the only ONE (FWD) I know of to have a ford 9" in it is Chris Rado's NORAD Celica. The GM cars with the exception of Marty Ladwig(running a GTP a/t) are running Fortin transaxles. The HotRod class cars are now allowed to run Xtrac transaxles, Gardella ran one all season and the other Hondas are going to follow next season now that NHRA gave its approval they are not going to ban them.
