how bout when bobby d ran the first 9 second run in stock. were people complaining about him being underrated then? i dont think so. why dont people do some research about what class ur local dp or cj car will run and add or subtract some weight to not be in that persons class.

To answer your first part, in time, this may affect a lot more people than it already does in the not-too-distant future. Currently, the new cars are mostly in AA, A, B and C Stock only (with one car, Jeff Tueton, that can run F-G-H). So, as of now, only cars in those classes are affected. A few weeks ago, a post was made that Ford introduced a new, smaller (302?) motor that will run in the lower classes (J and K, I believe). And if more, new cars are built, it could soon infiltrate many classes of Stock Eliminator. Just because few racers so far have been beaten in a heads-up run, doesn't mean the victim list won't grow substantially in the near future.
As for your second comment, when Bobby D ran the first 9 second run (9.99 at Mission in May 2001), there were several other cars that weekend (Robert Pond, Joe Alluise and Don Little), all in 'A' classed cars, who were in the 10.0's. It wasn't as though Bobby had them all covered by a ton. Had Bobby run his 9.99, and everyone else been in the 10.40's and slower, then yes, I imagine there would have been complaining then, as well, just like we have now. |
