Top 10 Mopar Moments of '11 #7 - Thomas Sets NHRA AA/SA Records in Mopar Challenger V-10 Drag Pak

Less than one month after making its competition debut, the 2011 Mopar Challenger V-10 Drag Pak rewrote the NHRA record books.

Dave Thomas, of Westchester, Pa., powered his 2011 Mopar Challenger V-10 Drag Pak to a record-setting 9.43-second elapsed time (ET) at 143.90 mph during a test session on April 7 at the NHRA Division 1 National Open event at Atco (N.J.) Raceway (the test session allowed for record attempts). Thomas captured both the ET and mph records in the AA/SA class just two weeks after taking ownership of his Mopar Drag Pak, and with only a few passes under his belt in the V-10-powered machine.
