Hmmm. 6340 vs. 3340, low comp. vs. High comp., Barracuda vs. Barracuda, 340 vs 340, East vs. West , now that would be a good one.

Pretty big "might be" Darrell. Look at the speed. I understand the weather kinda sucked at Indy........... We're talking good (Atco) conditions, ( and probably gear ratio changes ). Chuck has already gone 10.79 (in 2009). 75# heavy for G. Not tuned up. Point being - his car will go 10.60s in the right conditions, ( If he wants it to.) So the question still stands - Who's gonna be the "MAN".

The speed to me looks like he lifted and who knows how much?

Anyways,a car with a 455 engine only rated at 306 horsepower has to have a lot of potential.

Evan

Correct! And I don't feel that anyone has a right to be competitive just because a sanctioning body rated a combo 100 hp. light. Sure don't blame a racer for picking a favorable combo. But I do blame sanctioning bodies for not insisting on a "close" rating and this dosen't just relate to new cars. This has been going on for quite some time.

Darrell, you're probably right... But, if I'm in the finals for class at Indy, racing a car that has me covered... I'm going to tune the BIT*H up, take a shot at the tree, and if it's not red when I go by it, my right foots gonna be as close to the front bumber as I can get it until he passes me or I miss the first turn off. But that's just me. ...Back to the post - we're not talking about a race....we're talking about setting the G/SA National record. - Bring your A game Boys!

There are some extremely fast G/SA cars in the country but if Mark Lelchook can fit his car in G/SA it'll be the fastest pre 2008 car out there. I'm not taking anything away from anyone else but I've ran against Mark and the car flat out flies!

Chuck and I were .005 or .015 apart at the 1000' on the run you mentioned. My car doesn't pull that hard on the top end so he could have ran faster than me. Nonetheless it was a great race at Indy and makes everyone realize you cannot take any 340 for granted!!!

This thead is awesome.Lets try and make it more interesting.
Why don't we G/SA racers get together at ATCO and put a nice $100.00 bill each up!
Fastest car to go thru teardown gets the $$$! This might encourage some guys to travel to ATCO .I m in and cant run with these boys.Or a little Jr Stock..
We could get Jack or Ken hold the $ and award it.Thats the way real $ racers race..
What do ya think?

Perrone that would be great. I would love to go, but 2600 miles round trip would be around 370 gallons of diesel or ~$1340. So, you would need 14 G cars for us to break even, IF we are the fastest (plenty fast G cars out there).

James,
In order to win the purse the fastest car should have to pull the pan to weigh the piston and rod and check ring grooves. If you can make that happen I'll put up Ron Infantino's $100.
Also don't forget the Atco Open is in May. While last year was mineshaft, two years ago it was 86 degrees.
