So true! I don't think I have ever seen anyone blame one of the racers who are taking advantage of a ridiculous situation. I probably would be doing the same thing if I had the money to throw at it, but, like all good things, it will come to an end, eventually. Jim

There is a big difference here, Bob came up with the combo and built it and also made it work, do you see any others doing one ? I wonder why ?, because it takes a big set of Balzs to give it a try and succeed.

What makes you think you need a COOKIE CUTTER car to win?
Turbo cars might throw you a curve every now and then. But an NA car is an NA car no matter what motor is under the hood.

For any of you that think an off the wall combo is so cheap to build.
Try to build one.

Gee, I don't know why not.

We were just told, during the red light debate, that there really wasn't an advantage to a faster car. It was just a matter of preference.

Also, years ago, during the deep stage drubbing, it was said by guys who never tried it, that is really wasn't necessary. You just weren't looking at the tree right.

I guess you haven't been following along here .You better rethink that position. ; -)

It's not about money Artie, It's a cupcake! You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. That's the point, the car could run 11.80's and nobody cares. There's a difference between a good combo and a MISTAKE. My problem is NHRA will not correct it therefore making every other U combo uncompetetive therefore noone will go back. One year there was 13 U/SA's at No Problem it was won by a cupcake. Since then maybe 2 show up. Why tow 10 hrs. to run a N car in U? Or run a C car thats in H running 10.40. It is killing the car counts and more importantly the desire to try.

Yes , this combo is way underfactored but build one for 5 grand - I don't think so - Mr.Shaw is the master at getting the most out of these combos .I think our own Billy would have trouble getting one of those cars to go 2 seconds under for 5 g's .

Well I guess you did not see the post by MR. Billy Nees saying these people are not racers,they come into our sport,spent their mony(it is their money)to buy the best cars and the best people,rasied the bar for every one else(from my experience,I have found if you have money and a big D**K you want to swing it)
That is a quote from MR. Nees and uncalled for.David

Re: Talk about being under-rated!!!
 
OK Mr davidhuff, explain to me what it is that is uncalled for in the post? Other than I didn't get specific enough (which I won't).
