Default Re: combo killers

It's way to early to worry about getting horsepower for next year unless someone runs 1.301 under. Last year I kept track of all my Divisional and National runs per event. I knew when we could let it hang out for #1 or to win Class. THEN I'D FIX IT!!! Heard several times that a cpl of my friends got their undies all knotted up because of thinking the same thing,,,WE ARE GOING TO GET HORSEPOWER!!!
Time and rules have changed,,PERIOD! Sad part now is,,some don't save what they have because of that famous saying,,"Yea,,I've Got A Fast Car"! Did the World Champion have the fastest car in his class??? People win events and rounds cause they use their heads and don't worry about being the fastest.
Barry Parker go for a class win at the Baby Gators!!! I don't think you'll have to run so far under that you'll ruin your combo with your first event. Quit dicking around with your Camaro to go faster,,JUST RUN THE DARN THING!!
See you tomorrow!!!

combo killer ? , guys lets stop the drama , So if it got 5 hp, it would end the usefulness of all these cars with this engine ? lets be real, it would be 50 lbs. or take wt out and run a faster class. Ralph is a good man and he is RACING as in going fast. To top it all off, he has been going thru some real health issues and is currently on the good side of that.

Go get them Ralph, glad you are currently qualified first

Barry , step on it for class will ya

Tim, good reply, you got it right

Tell me if I’m thinking about this the wrong way. Combo Killers! If one person can do it hasn’t he proved it can be done and everyone should be capable of running that quick? If you are not maybe you are not working as hard as you think you are!

It’s part of the game. A 1.02 under run at one of the fastest races of the year, early in the year is hardly crippling. There are quite a few cars in the 396/325 combo. Plenty of smart racers who go plenty of rounds with that combo as well. I’m sure it will work out. I wouldn’t start building 327’s and 350’s just yet. Have fun and race your combo

I have wide shoulders, I can say I'm wrong. Must be the part I'm missing for sure. It does say all the combo's runs in all classes count towards the trigger. So all runs with that combo, no matter what class, makes the average? Learn something new every day is a good thing.

yes and no. Only runs .65 or further under count towards the average. In my case, I can't go fast enough to bring the average down for my combo, which is unbelievably counterintuitive.

Right, and some just plain want to go fast, which is their business and nobody else's
