Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
Cooter, I like the way you think, but it is a 272, now 281 combo, same
as yours and mine. J.R. |

Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
Well I guess that's what I get for thinking, I guess I might try the 241 now.

Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
I'm kinda glad to see guys pushing the limits and setting records like in the old days. I know getting hit with weight isn't what anyone wants but what's the point of making a car fast otherwise?

Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
The car in question did not set any record. All he did was make it harder for someone on a budget to race and be competitive. Some of us don't have 20k to put into an engine. Guess I will just sell my crap and go back bracket racing..... Not to mention he ran that in the absolute best air you will ever see. Next closest car with the same combo at that race was 4 tenths slower

Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
So happy that you are glad to see this...There are a boatload of racers with this 350 EFI combo that don’t share your enthusiasm......

Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
Yep always good to see guys pushing the limit in stupid fast air for absolutely nothing on the line! Unless you happen to be one of the guys that have this combo which by the way isn't that great anymore and you just spent another 10 grand to be half way competitive when you really need to be. If this was some stupid fast combo it wouldn't really hurt that bad but it's not and this 9 hp will just about put this turd in the grave.

Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
Did that race meet the requirement to be considered mine shaft condition in stock?

Re: 1.20 under at Belle Rose
Mineshaft yes but 1.20 under is still an instant hit ofcourse. From what I was told the weather was it was incredibly fast and all I can say is under those circumstances he may have not known how fast he was going.
