BSA, I understand what you're saying, I may only be .3 under now, but a year ago I finally got to .8 under, and was real happy, that is until I ran Bob Shaw in Belle Rose and got to see his time on the scoreboards as I was trailing him with a . 5 under. Hey Boudreau, that ever happen to you with Bobby? I used to think that if I invest more money and applied newer technology that I could be one of the fastest, but in reality, it's just not going to happen, there are other cars in U/SA that are just way too fast. Lets see, there is the Buicks, the Dodges with more CFM, The Captains T/SA, the Monte Carlo's, hi Jonathan, Wong's 2 door, Myers flying under the radar, Remmington's scienced out car, Clayton and The Maestro, anything that Billy Nees might come up with, the Banana cars out of Alabama, Summertons wagon, and good old Bob Shaw pick of the week. I could spend thousands of dollars and still not be able to run with some of these cars. So should I put my nose to the grindstone and prove to these people that I still cannot run with them, or do I just admit that I have chosen the wrong combination. Neither, I race because I enjoy it, I just have to avoid the other U cars. When I chose this combo I researched the Classification Guide and found this combo very lucrative at that time. I did'nt realize that later in time they would allow some of these other combos. The fact of the matter is that indexes have nothing to do with anything other than being the base for a trigger. Get rid of the triggers and inspect the cars that are really flying, it will level out in the long run. I am for this performance based category, I just know where I need to be to be competitive.
