Who where and when did they go a 7 in SS/AM?
Sorry, I misread your previous post. I was thinking you meant 7 tenths under. No, right now 4 cars capable, none have dipped under. Morse, Gove, Caro, and Jones could if they wanted.

It can be difficult and frustrating trying to win rounds with a car that fast in Super Stock. When I first ran SS/AM with my Calais we were the quickest and fast Super Stock car in history with an 8.86 - 154 mph qualifying pass at Houston early in the year. I don't remember what the index was then but that qualified us #6 in the field. That was with a 4 year old B/ED 360 c.i. Buick with one dominator and a manual 4 speed. The problem is the speed differential with most of the other cars in Super Stock. You are closing on them so fast at the finish line that it's difficult to judge your position. You have to dial so that you can't break out and run it out the back every time. I don't like driving like that. I prefer to dial 1 or 2 soft to give me some options. In addition, the power to weight ratio in that class means that you have to be right on the money in the bellhousing to be consistent. In comp you have time to service the clutch between rounds to make the car repeat. Not so in SS. In addition, lane choice can quickly become an issue. By the Springnationals that year I decided to move to A/SM in comp. Best move I ever made.

I don't know Scott very well.I met him at Atco in 2006.We were parked next to each other
in tech for record tear down.I spoke to him at that time.
I was at the Grove when he went in the 7s.
I can't say for sure but now that he's the quickest all time and first N/A Super stocker in the 7s he has the option of backing the car down to make it more round friendly.But I think
by watching him run since '06 that his main focus is to go as fast as he can.
I would have thought that Paul Ricci was going to run the first 7 in SS/AM.

I am a huge fan of SS & S classes. I always enjoyed watching REAL RACE CARS get up and get down. I know of that 305 car in SS/JA, it is an impressive piece for a 305 there is no denying that.That is one BAD WHEEL STANDING HOTROD:eek:. As a spectator I cant wait to watch that car make those untammed mustangs and challengers sweat. I enjoy watching the "underdog" cubic inch cars smack the bigger cubes around. Bigger is not always better! Its ashame nhra wouldnt take the leashes off the old dogs and show the new pups they have alot of training to do;).
HATS OFF to all competitors in any class for the hard work and dedication in your sport. Its is fun to watch!:D
