Ed I was thinking who runs a 2 barrel? Does anyone actually run one in Production?

Re: Super Stock Production ??
 

The production classes did orginate from the AHRA. IHRA has always has had the SS/Production classes.Ed, have you seen how fast we run with a 2bbl?

Re: Super Stock Production ??
 

There were only five 2bbl Production cars in the country last year, according to Nitro Joe's stats. This doesn't seem to be a gigantic problem.

Not a fan of the racer commitee deciding "who's got a real race car". Let's vote out 2bbl Production cars. Let's vote out 2bbl Stockers. Let's vote out FWD cars. If you want to have a meaningful discussion about how to combine classes in a reasonable fashion, that's fine, but an "off with their heads!" stance for cars that aren't red big block Camaros is not appropriate, in my opinion.

Believe me Ed....some are "Rocket Ships". They even use a restrictor plate like NASCAR uses to slow them down. Back in the day they had their own eliminator and S/S (as it used to be without the so called GT classes) was a seperate eliminator. Fewer and fewer cars are being built and showing up. Enjoy the NHRA enhancements.

I went to DRC and this was the newest run I could find. It was in 2002. Damn good run.

Thanks, but I was no where close to being the fastes 2 bbl. Racers like Mark Young, Jim Reynolds, Noel Davis, etc., were a lot faster than I was. Like every other class in Stock, Super Stock, Comp, etc., it's all about what you can get out of your combination within the rules. Building a combination with the 2 bbl being your primary class is a challenge. Not a lot cam manufactures under a 2 bbl engine that turns 9500-10,000 rpm.

Re: Super Stock Production ??
 

And the 2bl cars aren't trying to be a big fish in a small pond, or avoid heads ups?
Seriously? And, yes, I would say the same about 2bl SS cars and FWD. Too many obsure classes.

Re: Super Stock Production ??
 

Mark Young is typically #1 qualifier. Homer Carty and his 2nd car that Brandon Peterson drove fall into the same class as Mark (so even if they "hide", they still have each other). Then you've got national record holder and former world champ Jim Reynolds, and one other guy I don't know.

Right. Let's get rid of fuel injected cars. Or carbureted cars. Or trucks. Or GT cars...

Re-read prior post.

I've got a headache.

Re: Super Stock Production ??
 

And?

Re: Super Stock Production ??
 

Tell that to Mark Young.
