The rumor is today that the 3.25% does not have to apply. Someone was saying that the committee has the option to give more HP. I don't know the rulebook that well, but I sure hope that is the case.

Frito gave me this poem he wrote about the hemi shoot-out based on the pre-entries:

With Bales in bling and Charlie in camo,
29 line up with their Hemis as ammo.

Super Cuda's still around and lookin dandy,
But mels in the lanes looking for Randy.

Spyfish is lurking, wants power in excess,
He just returned from a trip to Texas.

The blue car from Cali still is MEAN,
Raybourn's Dart will create a very big scene.

Dr. Dan & Wolkwitz, both in Darts,
Smoke and oil abound, look out for flyin parts.

Raines is coming, with help from Westcott,
Heli-Hemis new motor will mean a lot.

Cake has a choice of Cuda or Dart,
Holt says run the newest and play it smart.

Shine by Tookie, noise from Clark,
Kingfish runs fine with a holeshot start.

Campbell and DePillo working together just fine,
Mopar paint on the Mule makes it shine.

Wolkitz & Barton, coming to play,
Power put out by Big Daddy Ray.

Lil Joe running safe, wants no valves bent,
Uncle Jeff watching over and bringing Steve Kent.

Mark & Wendell coming from across the border, Want to put away the field in very short order.

Houser & Booker sliding in from the West,
Viera right behind, want to run with the Best.

With his motor zinging and tach in the red,
Jeffs motor is his, Modern Cylinder Head.

Two colors of paint change in the breeze,
Check out the hues of Lewis & Keyes.

Colors on this car are far from vanilla,
Island Hemi brought up by the Chuck Comelia.

The Cudas coming down from the Gold Coast,
This the the race Danny Zrust wants the most.

Perkins new car should stay off the bump,
After all his power is from the Grump.

The purple cars gone, shot like an arrow,
No entry for the MARVELous one, known as Darrell.

Kenny, Patsy, & Larry

Thanks so much for the reports and pics.
Maybe next year FoMoCo will shine it bright light on us and we'll be able to make it back to the Big Go.

Does anyone know why my buddy Roy Hill was D'Q'd?

We heard something goofy about wheels by cannot believe that.

Thanks

Alex, Beth, & Tony

Cool.....In fact BOTH cars are very cool. Ahhh Yes....I see it now and it looked like a nice close race. Not like some of the other classes.....lol.

close run if john stayed in and not just fender drove him!!!

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
Terry, its John over Jason. That run had to be the best of the week. Even Bob Fry said, no one will top the A/S finals, not even the pro's.

Both cars stood up high taking the 60 foot clocks with the rear wheels. Jason was in third gear before the car started to come down. John went a 10.14 to Jason's 10.18 with Jason having the slightly better light. .048 to John's .055.

Wow, I hope someone got a picture of that run or better yet, on video.
We still can have fun with the old cars, it was by far the best show I have seen in a long time. Congrats to both !

Chuck, no disrespect, but I don't think the Hills have a problem with Greg's comments. They don't take any of it that seriously. My guess is only thing that is bothering the Hills right now is the 3rd engine down in their car in the last couple of years.

If the other posts in this thread bother you, then do not read them. Even the Hills comment on the absurdity of the new factory cars, if memory serves correct, they've done it here in this very thread.

Nothing personal, but the Hills are neither easily bothered nor easily offended.

Thanks Ken for the description. I wished I could have seen it. Hope someone can post a video clip or a pix of the launch. 2 GREAT muscle cars of the past. Congrats to both for a clean race and congrats to John on his win. Now THATS what I call DRAG RACING ! Hummmm, maybe you should put a stick trans and a little wt. in your ride for next years A/S challenge????

Sounds like one hell of a final with two great ol' hot rods! Hey Terry do you have John's address? Hey, maybe I should just wait for him to get back home and deliver it to him personally!

I always like to stay positive and I will be back here next year, but the new cars are so far ahead. It is hard to stay up beat when you see the numbers these cars can run

I feel for everyone that has worked so hard on their combo's. Maybe just maybe NHRA will see what happen this week and fix the disparity between the new and old cars.

On some lighter notes, A Stick has been a blast to watch. John Calvert just beat Ralph Porpora in the semi's, and will run Jason McCormack for the class final.

B/SA will also be fun to watch, it does not have any new cars to deal with. Hawk, DeFrank and Wilkes are the cars to beat. Who's knows what these guys are holding. Kreeber was my pick to surprise everyone, but he lost on a hole shot is round 2.

I know things are looking bad with these new cars, but in the grand scheme of things life is pretty good. Hey, I'm not in the show, but I still happy to be here and still having fun.

They just called stock back to the lanes for 3rd round of class.
Kenny, our old buddy Bruce was right a year and a half ago when he called for these cars to be in FX classes. You could still run them in stock eliminator just not in the same classes with cars that were actually made and available to the public. This would have been a win win scenario , but Ford, Chrysler,and NHRA wanted these cars to dominate the older cars. It's a slap in the face to anyone who has put time effort and money for 20 plus years into running a stock eliminator car. This ***** needs to change.

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
Greg, yes he was right and its hard to argue with your logic. Even my paper car can't come close to the new stuff.

I'm just an optimist, hoping things will change. I know it sounds naive, but that's the way I am. I will make the best of a bad situation and find a little enjoyment. I have no chance of getting in the show, but being here is still cool.

Terry, I though about putting in a hand shaker, who knows.

No....I posted on the A/S challenge site for James to email (PM) me both addresses so I can get it out to them both.

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
After further thought on this matter I think the participants that are running these cars need to be commended for what they have done!!! Showing the NHRA for the OUTRAGES thing that they have done to their long time members!!!

So' THANK YOU to all who decided to LET IT HANG OUT FOR ALL TO SEE!!!!!

I agree....Its not the raers fault. Its not a shame to take advantage of what is given to you. The real SHAME is NHRA and the way they treat the loyalty of the long time racers.

This started out as a great post from Larry & Patsy. The updates and photos are great for people like me that could not attend Indy this year. But once again a post gets hijacked by people who are not at the race complaining instead of enjoying the 'live' up to date reports ... Thanks Larry and Patsy, sorry to hear about your car being broke. Take care and have a safe trip home ...
