Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

So what are you trying to say, that the CJ didn't lift early?

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Not that it matters, but Alan and any NHRA announcer in the booth has the facts on the screen in front of them.

They can see every run that the competitors have made if they choose to. The incrementals are up for each current pair of course.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Can't wait until Pomona is over. Can't wait until the season is over. Can't wait until NHRA makes their announcements concerning 2011 rule changes. Lets hope and pray they are not blind and deaf. Until then lets light a candle for divine intervention. Just waiting to see whether the NHRA hiearchy has completely sold out.:confused:

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

No; just don't think Alan was genuinely surprised. He was just adding some drama. Wouldn't argue with our high paid reporters; remember I'm still hoping you get a bonus.

Did anybody get any idea of how long the mustang just cruised? I'm guessing Kevin would have liked to show more MPH, but was so far ahead.......

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Well, I've been going to national events with my brother since '93 and between '97 and '05 I raced 15-20 national events a year. Believe me, I've heard my fair share of Alan's announcing.

His words were "Whoa, talk about lifting early!" or something to that effect. He could have been playing it up, but it sounded genuine to me.

I videoed it from a forklift at the finish line where 40 people were watching. He pedaled it 3 times

Next year....lots of horsepower to both combinations Tuesday morning for a run that quick.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

He was on .69 to a .72. Check the live timing and compare it to other CJ runs throughout the year. Its not that hard to figure out.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

I tend to believe Toby .
The guy is there LIVE..
Also Andys Dad don't you have some work to do 2nd round?
You better get your NEW car out Fast!
Good Luck

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

What difference does it make how fast he could have run, he won. Give him credit for that. These cars ran heads up at Indy all out against each other for class, its not like this is the first time.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Here we go again, this self anointed "ruler" trying to make an issue of money in racing...

Who cares whose money it is, or how much it is? Nobody except the green eyed jealousy monsters....

By the way, just how fast did YOUR car go at Pomona this week?

Kevin ran a good race and won. End of story.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

One of the better quotes about this stuff is from the West Coast by Chuck Rayburn: "If you can't run within 3 tenths of the leader, you can't vote."

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

So unless you own one of these cars, you can't vote. Gotcha. Keep the beer cold Jeff, see ya in Feb

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Granted, semantics is sort of my job but....

I'd be willing to bet that "leader" in that context is defined as the guy with the fastest non-CJ or DP car.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

hey Chad my I ask what do you race? Know the name just cant remember your car. Look I know the non CJ and DP racers are taking a beating in class but has either won a race this year? Getting the factories in stock and super stock will help the classes in the long run if and only if Glendora straighten things out so older cars dont hang it up. I am a little spoiled here in D1 where the car counts are still good, but I enjoy looking at the national events and seeing s/ss counts over 90.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

I would hope so. If not nobody gets to vote. <G>

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Just a cute quote by a colorful guy. You guys underware is too tight.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Here is a better quote: If you can't run within 3 tenths of the leader, pass tech, and have a factor closer than 10 hp off you can't vote.

The American Way is to get off your lazy *** and off the key board and go to work and live the American Dream.I took this advise 40 years ago and it sure works!

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Exactly where and when did we ever represent ourselves as being better than most?
If you are so insecure that you take the fact that we own one of the newer cars as being evidence of that, you gotta get a life man....

I did exactgly what you or anyone else could have done... I got in line, and got my car. I was a nobody to the racing community and I got my car.... So if you are such a big deal and speak for the whole racing community, you should have been able to step up and get one too...

As for having a big checkbook, I am further in debt with this car than you could even imagine.. But how I paid, and whether or not I could really 'Afford it" are absolutely none of your business and have nothing to do with whether our car runs fast or not.

All it took was stones and money.... But I doubt that you have either, so that is why you complain about the new cars.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

I never mention ANYONE by name. Only those who feel guilty of it being a direct attack are offended and so be it. Its just a couple on this site that think they are Gods gift to the racing world with the new cars. It dosent take a lot of brains or talent to run way under with cars that are underrated by 75 to 100 HP.....just the $$$$ to buy the product coming out of Detroit and the desire to spend money. YOU were not one of them nor is Jeff Teuton who I was refering to in my earlier post. . I know Jeff and respect him. He is one heck of a good guy. As far as STONES or the MONEY I have both. I just hate seeing what is going on with the bogus HP raitings making the older cars obsolete. Does my posting make you feel guilty? I wont waste my money on a stocker until I see where NHRA is going with this joke. Some have parked their cars due to this and I dont blame them. Been there and done that 38 years ago when they killed off Jr. stockers in 1972 when it required talent to make a combo work and be respected instead of buying a persons way into a great sport when it didnt cost so much.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Can we knock off the hate of old vs new! You are all sportsmen racers and are in the same boat together. You know when I was at e-town and maple grove you all sat around and waited for days not just the old or new cars. Check your attitudes and come together and fix the problems so fans like me can enjoy all the cars. Sorry I am not a racer so maybe I don't count but without my gate money you would have a place to race anyway.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

You still dont get it. Its about making a racers $50,000 to $100,000 investment obsolete with the stroke of a pen !

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

I do get it believe me. I am just saying that everybody needs to come together and go at glendora and fix the problem so every present and possible future racer can enjoy themselves regardless of what combo they race. See as frustrated as you all get with nhra I am too when I get to the track early so I can see s/ss and because of the track or an accident I don't get to see that but have to put up with the pros that I can see on tv. I like the droozemobile saw it at the dutch but don't want to lose people like john shaul or any other older car. I want larger car counts more heads up elimination runs. So I can get my moneys worth.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

I agree 100%, because we need new and old stock and super stock race cars at the track.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

SKILLS the cour family won the seattle nat. event this year in stock

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Okay didn't know. I am not a mustang guy but do enjoy watching fast cars chase. I can imagine a front wheel drive celica being chased by an a/b stocker. Its always fun to watch cars basing ed's amc more of that is a good thing.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

We need the new cars with reasonable hp ratings.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

A-AA/SA 69 corvette and a newly acquired I/SA 92 camaro

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Are you parking the Corvette?

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

not yet, waiting to see what transpires in the offseason. Wouldn't park it, but it could end up with a small block and jerico.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Oh that sucks love big blocks and slushboxes. Jeff Teuton is on the comp committee maybe we can go thru him to get fair changes.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

LOL...............This is NHRA your talking about.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

We have to try, want to see as many upper class stockers as possible.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

Everyone( with older combos) is mad at NHRA for losing it's gag reflex when they swallowed the "factory HP.". We all want the fair and level playing field.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

That's all. We don't care what brand or how new they are.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

I'm for speeding up the old cars by reducing hp accross the board prior to 2008. I'm also for new parts for the old cars. Only 15 years I been asking for new parts. I'm sure the new AHFS will be on the air shortly. We don't know what it is. What was proposed would have hit the old cars 6 to 1 over the DP/CJ cars. Mainly because of lack of data. Keeping and maintaining accurate data is high on the discussion list. More as it comes out. Yall know much as I do now.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

I wondered about the amount of run data thing. Could be a double edged sword. Hope they are thinking aobut that. I would have thought you would have some advance word.

Btw, "Little Joe" had a really good day. He was deadly on the lights. Good to see a real Hemi car go rounds like that.

Re: Cj vs drag pak first round
 

They want data, all they had to do was go to Wesley, nobody kept more than Him but no somebody did not like the hits when Wesley and Lang were doing it and they got replaced. Put Terry, Wesley, Lang and Greg X in a room and before they come out things would be fixed and the bitchen would stop.
