Protest at Indy. - Page 6

I'm somebody who runs the same combo as Jim. I ain't mad at him. I'm impressed. I probably can't get within 2 tenths of that number in those conditions. He knows there are plenty of turds out there like me to keep the avg down and it's his car. So he can do as he pleases, unless it's 1.20 under, of coarse. Besides, none of this data counts, so what's the fuss over? Build that camaro Fred, you'll find out real quick this combo ain't soft to begin with

Right now Jim's car is the yardstick that everyone with a carb strives to be better than. Sherman's 'Vett is way past bad fast, and like Jim's car Is correct. Sherman pulled a piston and went through the rest of the teardown with flying colors. Two fast cars that pass Indy teardowns. Wonder how much the cars are?

Allen Sherman is used to 4000' air as well. It's always fast.

Jim is as hard of a worker as anyone I have ever seen. He is my inspiration. And as a person, He is as nice as you would ever want to meet. Congrats Jim, your hard work has paid of, and now in the final 16... Keep it going. Gary Parker

Jim Boudreau has certainly paid his dues. Started out with that localized AHRA type stuff at Epping, then adapted to NHRA quite well.
Proud to say I've known him for 44 years. Good luck ,Jim

Thanks for the compliments mr Larry and mrs patsy...it was a long day in the barn that was worth every second. Mr Ed the hard work you put in your car at your age is a inspiration to a guy like me that I gotta keep working hard to get it done...
