Sounds good until you are looking at their taillights.

There are only two things that would make me quit racing, getting beat by an AMC or a chick....umm....There is only one thing that would make me quit racing, getting beat by an AMC.

hey, if you're the faster car, you're ALWAYS looking at taillights...

Re: The damage recently done
 

Yes Jeff 315 HP is a soft HP. Testing,motors,clutches it's time and money u spent great. Anybody who has been on this forum at least twice in their life know that u set the record and qualified #1. Every other post your reminding us of how fast you went,set the record and top qualifier. You bought those achievements. When you win that first race or that first championship( takes skill and talent) then you might impress someone besides you!!!

BTW ..My name is Steven Whitmore from Iowa. Hurry,Hurry type it in Google!!

Hey Steven, I was born and raised in SW Iowa. I left there after I was drafted in 1966. I have gone back to visit relatives.......each time I go there, I remember why I left....LOL I don't understand why you are going after someone that you think has a "soft combo". Let me ask you, if you were to build a car today, would you build one with a "hard combo"? Probably not. So why criticize some one that has built a car and qualified well and set records? As the old saying goes "is is better to have been a has been that has done it, than someone that never was".....

Good Grief!

Another meaningful discussion devolving into a name-calling character assassination contest. Passion is one thing, but really, can't we get beyond this?

Just be thankful there aren't more Dealer Installed Options OK'd for Stock Eliminator. Didn't Randall AMC put a 401 in a Gremlin back in the day?

This too shall pass!

Lew, the Randall 401 has been submitted to NHRA for approval, the same with the 1969 'Cuda 440-Six Pack...(the first prototype 1969 440 'Cuda had a Six Pack engine), the Motion V-8 Vega's, the Mr.Norm's Duster with the 340-6 Pack too... :) just kidding!!! :)

Re: The damage recently done
 

Now this whole post is just funny.
Fine, don't defend yourself, lies and deceit have no defense.
I will be calling NHRA on Tuesday,what NHRA has done can be un-done. And that's the way it is.
I'm happy for you that running a "different" car made you a better tuner. Welcome to my world. I don't have a gripe with the combo, I have a gripe with the people that totally f**ked up the combo by presenting falsified documents to NHRA to gain an advantage that they didn't deserve so that they didn't all have to work hard on their cars.
Wow, ya hear that eddie? I could build an AMC and be a hero!
If it involved just one combo, maybe I would build it and go all Paul Wong on it but I won't live long enough to build every combo that is affected.
Let me say this again so that it sinks in, EVERY 4V V8 combo from 1966 to 1972 is affected. that's 5 different displacement engines in about a half a dozen body styles, in 7 model years. That's a whole lot of combos.
And everybody bitches about a couple of Mustang combos.
I'm not bitching, you'll know it when I start bitching!
