Super Stock Honda SS/DX incredible
Congratulation to Carey Bales on his running 8.005 I have to say that it impress many racers out there but also quite a few fans young and old. I was sitting in the stands when the Honda(with chute and plates) ran and these two young man who were sharing the same bleachers as I was couldn't stop talking on how cool it was to see a Honda run that fast. Both couldn't wait to try getting their Honda's to get to warp speed once they got home. This is what it's all about guys and girls, interesting young people in our sport. Carey you made two new fans. Claude

Re: Super Stock Honda SS/DX incredible
He made a few fans in the lanes, also. Me being one of them. I stood there stunned stupid when he made his first pass. Ok, ok. The stunned part was unique, but that is beside the point.
I wanted to find where he was pitted so I could confirm it was a four cylinder with a turbo the size of a D10 Cat. That car popped and crackled when the lights were coming down and left like a rice rocket. |

I was parked next to them at Indy. I wondered to my self "Does that thing run over 150 MPH to need that chute?" Until I heard him make a pass. Yes, yes it does!

Re: Super Stock Honda SS/DX incredible
The fact he went a 7.92 on a 7.91 dial in itself in unreal. Also with a 1.24 60' assuming that was the front wheels tripping the clock? It will go even quicker!... Man that looks like a ride, need a in car video...It really looks great and stock "appearing" Even has the third brake light! Great job! Congrats!
