well lets just say they are on the right track

they ran

8.16@183mph in qualifying
and now a 7.90@188.70mph in eliminations

Stephane moved less than a foot off the starting line in the eliminations

Dennis, common man, why do you only post the negative stuff regarding Stephane.? I know there still must be some bad blood between you two, but lets put that aside.

Im sure if Stepahne ran 50 psi and 200 shot of gas hed run like that also, but you know the budget he has to work with.

Just to spoil your spotlight, he didnt back it up and broke....again. I suppose Stephane will still finish ahead of COX in the points....

well first of all the runs where made without a 200 shot as far as being reliable the car would be plenty reliable if it would run stephane's power level

BTW you did not spoil much my friend stephane also broke again... and for the points well lets waith and see @ Pomona I have a feeling the new tranny will hold up

Stephane also never backed up is 8.04 and 180mph

**mopar2ya** · 10-01-2006, 09:24 PM

Nor did Crawford back up his. BTW you didnt help them out with some of Stephanes tranny secrets did you?

Pomona will tell. Big budget factory sponsor vs, little guy with no budget whos up in the points. Its a david v. goliath of drag racing.

If Stephane ran the same boost as Cox, he'd run 200 mph. I think Stephane has it all the way up to 36-37 psi mabey... Thats all good, we all saw the 3 passes at SDAC/SRT nats, Stephane 2 good passes, Cox 3 busted passes, although theres a nice picture of the fire with the NOS backfire....

**mopar2ya** · 10-01-2006, 11:03 PM

Hey Dennis what gives here...I read this in another post. Cox was using gas....as usual..

Darryl Cox (neon in the same Hot Rod class as Stephane) set a new ET and MPH record in Hot rod 7.90 @ 188, although he had a nitrous hickup next round and could not back it up.

mcsvt · 10-01-2006, 11:05 PM

I am with you Wallace. Stephane may be running less power, but he is just as quick as the Cox team(800hp vs. 1200hp)... If Cox was running the same power as Stephane they wouldn't even be near as quick, so they are over compensating to keep up.

I don't want to sound like I don't like Cox's team, I just tend to favor the underdog. When I am at the race I spend most my time in Stephane's pit. I have learned a ton just watching the man work and helping out when given the opportunity.

Both teams have had hardships all year. I have seen both cars dead at the line. One just has the nice money backing, the other has a working man supporting it all.

**mopar2ya** · 10-02-2006, 01:36 AM

Stephane and I chatted about 10 days ago, we will make the trans even more bullet proof.... Stephane is a freakin machine.. I too like the little guy, not that I dont like the others, its just nice to see a car someone can actually afford to build be competitive.

Wallace with all due respect this is professional racing there is no what, if and buts it's race what you brung and hope you brung enough if Stephane doesn’t run 50 psi it's because he CANT

you are telling me not to post the bad about Stephane but you are all over the place telling Darrell broke
Funny thing here how many engines did Stephane go true this season?? how many trannys did he break ?? oops cant say that cant we, funny last year he did the complete season with the same engine something must have change I guess but I don’t know what since he was doing every thing himself without the help from no one his car should be as reliable as last season.

P.S This tread was not about stephane versus cox it was about
THE FIRST HOT ROD MOPAR IN THE 7 SECONDS ZONE

anyways lets leave it at that,this is not the time or the place
take care

1950 lbs versus 2250lbs will do funny things in the tranny also

mcsvt · 10-02-2006, 07:57 AM

whats up with all the

??
We all love these cars, and respect both men for doing what they are doing. It just seems that every time you post something good about Cox, it is accompanied by something bad with Stephane.

Pomona should be a good race for the Hot Rod class

**mopar2ya** · 10-02-2006, 08:26 AM

I know he could run 50 psi, but then he'd be like Cox some 150 points out and broken every other pass. As to your reference of car weight, like you said run what you brung, if Cox cant make it 1950 lbs, its because he cant.

Nice try at wanting to keep it on topic. I know your agenda Dennis. If someone looked at the 11 posts and the content they wouldnt get the same impression. Its all how great Cox is (BTW you bashed Cox when working for SMP), and how deficient Stephane is without you.

Frankly if Stephane didnt win, Id root for Cox as he's got a Mopar and like Crawford personally I met him in Dallas in 2004 when he mashed the wall at 170 mph.
