Re: Entry level class?
 

It was pretty easy to find the facts on Chris & 1320's son on nhra.com. There was no record of either of them competing on National/Divisional level in 2023. I only went back to 2021 & 2022, again on a National/Divisional level.

The NHRA standings show the facts about Chris's so called "not competitive junk" when compared to 1320's son.

Re: Entry level class?
 

If comparing entry level classes of Super Street and Stock, I've done both and Super Street is definitely more entry level. Build a 1/2 decent 454 and a power glide, put it in an old back half car. Spend a $1,000 on a delay box and throttle stop. A couple test n tune days and then drive it like a bracket car. NHRA has already picked your dial in. Best dollars to spend is on a good converter. Stock I've had to spend a lot more $$ buying a competitive car and I don't see how anyone could build it for any less. And I've spent the 1st year learning all the idiosyncrasies of it. Metric 200 transmissions are a picky beast. After 30 years of bracket racing against some of the best drivers in the country, who's in the other lane don't bother me, but is this cranky old car gunna repeat for me, Never had to think about it bracket racing or 10.90.

Some of them cars in S/ST dont look entry level

First, 1700camaro is Bryan King, a drr regular poster, a nobody, an average bracket racer at best at his home duck pond LVMS who can’t do shyt when the Fling is there with his pos now wannabe street outlaw car, who’s only posting here now, because I am.

That said, the facts are Chris has never beaten my son! Further, my son drove around him, trailered him and took the division championship from him in 2018 with the most points ever in D1 and was also the youngest ever, when Chris all but declared he had won division after the first race of the season!!
Yes his car is junk and no one is giving him $30k for it, NO ONE! But this ain't about Chris nor do I have issue with Chris.

Celebrating round wins from your son 6 years ago?

What's next...Reliving your coaching days on the little league field?

Re: Entry level class?
 

Never said he did!

Now, it's just "junk"; it was competitive in 2021 & 2022 according to NHRA standings. Pretty sure he was ahead in the standings over your son. Except 1 category them years: with your son only ahead by 2 spots in points.

You bring up 2018, sounds like his "junk" was again competitive. It's not about Chris & your son, it's about your statement; "not competitive and junk". "junk" is your opinion. Competitive, the car is according to the evidence.

Re: Entry level class?
 

Talk about what you know, not what you think you know. It ain’t competitive, He will never win a division championship much less a national championship with that car! They said, you can be sure he never wants to see my son as well a few other D1 drivers in the other lane that he has never turned on the win light against.;)

Re: Entry level class?
 

Nah, I never coached him in little league. :p

That said, clearly you are posting here to engage me, surely from drr, most likely imakehp, as all but your 1st post joining 2 weeks ago are comments about me. You can't hide.:p

Now if you like, we can talk about his national event finals/ wins, 2nd place finish in the division, Jegs Allstar qualifier, 30 under 30 selection and #4 in the world in '19 or we can talk about his 2nd place finish in the division in '22 or the $150k+ he has won bracket racing since '21 or his selection to the Fling's Allstar race? :p
