Why does everything turn personal on here? Then you go to the track and you guys are like a church mouse........I know people have talked s..t about me on here before then if we’re at the same race they just walk on by and don’t say anything.......

a few years ago there were quite a few hemi shootouts. the mentallity for that is peddle to the metal. heck with the index. we also had many builders who are very good at making those things run. i wish farmer dismuke was still here, bet the indexs would be a little closer for all. :rolleyes:

James you're crude but you're cool at the same time. Enjoy racing as long as you can and do it your way.

You know something is wrong with the index when so few Hemi cars are at the Gators. Lots of good running cars at Indy didn't qualify or were way down the list. You shouldn't need to have an oddball combo to make the field.

Technically the Hemi's are poor old steel headed carb motors too...Ha

I think a better option for the AH stuff would have been to let those cars back into SS/A or SS/AA...and make AH a shootout only deal with a 9.30, maybe 9.40 index.

[QUOTE=Erik Jones;584632]For anyone to imply the reason that Cottens car is fast is because its under factored and he just wrote me a big check is the most ignorant thing i have ever heard. The only one responsible for his car being fast is Mike Cotten..... I could give any one of you guys his engine and you couldn't hit your ***** with both hands let alone it would have the rods laying on the track in 2 passes.
The main thing NHRA needs to do is add SS/KJ "Keyboard Jockey" to the classification guide......


Erik as an engine builder can you help explain how racers and fans can tell which engines are "soft" in Stock/Super Stock. There are so many combos these days and hard to follow and understand. Do we just look at cubic inches and number of carbs to NHRA horsepower rating? Does a brand make a difference such as Chevy against Mopar against Ford? Some seem easier to understand like when the same size cubic inch engine is NHRA rated 30 horsepower different between combos...Or a larger cubic inch engine is NHRA rated lower than a smaller engine.

I only asked for .15 I explained why about Mission race prior to ,everyone getting .3. Nhra didn't even know our index was 9:30 They said our old index was 9;45 and gave .15 to a 9:60 .Didn't ask for .3 How can nhra not know our index was 9;30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so Brian you think if there are 30 ah cars at Indy not even one belongs in the top half? No 97 was the fastest!!!!!!!
