Dumb luck? It never would have happened if I hadn't moved up the ladder during Q3.

Re: Average year for the 10 @ LORDS2-2
 

At issue is the limited number of newer cars a person can build. The new factory cars are nice but expensive for the average racer. However, there aren't many alternatives. Older' cars ( 60's,70's, even some 80's) cars are just as expensive because they are rare, as are the parts.

Lots of the 80's and 90's cars got caught up in the cash for clunkers are gone. What is left is front wheel drive cars, poor man's alternative.

What we really need is some decent affordable 'rear wheel drive' alternatives from Detroit. Until that happens, we are at least getting something to help promote growth and renew some interest in stock class. Three or four years from now we may get some new blood who can afford the current cars that will have been cast off by then.

There has always been some 'killer' cars popping up in stock over the years, be they older or newer combos (1986 chev pickup?). So let's just race and have some fun. Like it or not I think those new cars are needed for the sport.

Just MHO.

Joseph, all you have to do is go out and run those things hard a few times, and take the hp hits they deserve. Legit hp ratings=nobody cares what year model they are.
Sandbagging to protect bogus hp factors is what offends people.

Still hoping you hit the lottery Ed!

Re: Average year for the 10 @ LORDS2-2
 

I understand. May I ask if you go out every pass and go all out? If you do I would be willing to bet that you are in the 1% of racers that do. Nobody goes out every pass and runs it out the back door. Know I'm not including the specialty races just talking about NHRA national and divisional races.

Re: Average year for the 10 @ LORDS2-2
 

Somebody just needs to pay Chris Holbrook some money to run his all out at a divisional or national, that will bring the fords back to a more realistic rating.

I don't sand bag. I can hop it up a little for heads ups, but not much. I don't have a great lot of respect for big time sandbaggers.

Re: Average year for the 10 @ LORDS2-2
 

Ed, maybe Jeff Dona, Angelo DiTocco and Byron Worner should go out and "run" their cars hard for a few races. I'll bet you wouldn't like that, now would you? :-)

I would just have to work harder, wouldn't I?
