Tommy Mattingly moves from L to O/SA with different engine combo and is consistently a winner and goes many rounds. Maybe it is a wagon thing, Al Provoast went many rounds also

I hope so. Otherwise I'm wasting a lot of time and money! (Although I may be doing that anyways!)

Smedley won the Vegas National in a Q car and was deadly consistant, 3 straight 13.19 if my memory serves me right..

At the Combo in the Hills, the Turismo ran 5 13.01's in a row to 1000', then a 13.00 before it rained. Lost its mojo somewhere this summer... back to Mr. Bill's this winter for some TLC.


Jeff --- it's perception vs reality. I really kinda suck. I just race a LOT. Even a blind squirrel.... ;)

Yes you do Michael, and you get my vote too! You and Jody Lang have been the banner bearers for the M-class and slower class (and fwd) cars. 2012 shall be great for both of you guys!!!

Re: Can they win?
 

Sure slow cars can win. It takes a different perspective of the whole racing scheme. The drivers who figure out how to make slow cars more than competitive and win frequently are dangerous in quicker cars. Most progress to the faster stuff,some stick around and always leave first. The slower cars are a huge challenge,but it`s extremely gratifying when you do well.

if they hang with each other and shave they can win!

It is no different in Jims 8 second stocker than in my 6.20 bracket car. Some people just need to practice and take the slow ride as serious as a fast car. Whatever you et is it really doesnt matter because total package is what gets the w. Everyone in stock dials soft Havent youins noticed that. eliminate yourself from the double breakouts and it is a different race. I have had the opportunity to jump up to a stocker that goes 6.70s no thanx i will stick with my L stocker. reason why is I want them fast cars to sit on the line why i peel the tree apart and leave them nothing. If a hitter or faster car feels you left them nothing on 1 end they have a tendency to push it and screw up!!
I feel like my slow stocker will repeat as good as a alky car would. Maybe not in a hot lap situation but thats what testing is for!

Re: Can they win?
 

Its like my HERO said!! Its a number game you run that number with the best package and you will turn on the WIN LIGHT!!! #1136 THE BEST DRIVER EVER!!! P.Biondo!:D:):D

Re: Can they win?
 

Can a slow car win? Seems there are a lot of different opinions. I have a slow car.

Just to straighten everything out, I am going to win the Gatornationals this year, and then you all can debate this thing all over again.

Thank you for your patience and time.
