Bales goes 1.28 under
 

In the final of class runoffs bales went 1.28 under does he get hp?

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Well, 1.25 under is an instant 3.25%, on Tuesday.

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Bales has a good thing going. Maybe we should be kicking in gas money to have him hit every NHRA sanctioned event out there each week and let him keep at it. :)

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

You have to pay to play when quicker than 1.25.
That is the way I read the rules of the game.
Yep, that should help out the older D/SA combos.
Just how much that HP/weight penalty will slow'em down?

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Yes we should just rename it the

HP Missile

It will be @ 348 come monday just in time for me to get my fine ride home and play at class @ Maple Grove. A, B, or C don't think I have any A or B's though!

Well, Eric..
Do you plan to light the candle on that HP Missile? :~)
I know it's not as easy as some think. congrats.

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Are those Motor Wheel Fly wheels?

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

No but they sure do look like them, don't they. Bogarts.

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Are you forgetting Chris Holbrook went 10.07 @ 132 in E/SA....IN SUPERSTOCK? Hmmm. I can smell a F/X class.....can you? Anywho....these cars are awesome and I wish they were on the street! Don't you? That's almost 2.00 seconds under the old index....and my challenge is for someone to show me a pic of them lifting the front wheels off the ground as high as say a J/SA...

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Ask and ye shall receive.

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

May I add to that????

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

2950 lbs with driver could be real fast in A/SA. Thats 460 lbs lighter than the 396/ 405hp. It should be a "Close" race both engines make about 615 to 625 Hp.

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

wow, somebody buy that boy a beer and tell him to keep up the good work. At this rate he'll have a superstocker by bradenton

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Here is Jim Hanlon's M/SA...It picked up the wheels juat as high or higher..

When is anyone gonna launch these car hard or, do they have factory four links so they won't ever really wheel stand?

Here is a P/S car that gets the wheels up higher than the new F/X cars....

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Speakin of HIGH......Do you really wear a respirator when doing auto body? Some of your "wacked" out views leads me to believe that you're a "huffer" with your chemicals!

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

I did!!!! Red Stripe all around:p

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

You are hilarious. If showing how much slower cars pull the wheels up much higher than these new FX cars is a whacked out view then, so be it...Nice rebuttal though, thanks for the laugh.

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Thanks for the celebratory beer, wally likes red stripe. And thanks again to Eric for letting me drive the missile, what a fun car to drive. Anyone wanting to buy me beer, or gas money please feel free too. :D

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Hell, I'd buy you a beer just because I like seeing race cars run all out! Jim

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Make it down south and I will buy you one. thanks for doing your damnedest to help level the playing field, lol

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

I heard that the car was pretty fast, but with the lights he was cutting i would have thought Ray Charles would have been able to cut a good enough light to run him down....

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

I thought you were just supposed to leave when you saw the other car leave??? That thing with all the lights on it is used for more than just staging?? :D I was not going to red light again in class like I did at Indy!!!!! ;)

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Well if no one else can keep up, then I dont see an issue with that logic at all....

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

When racing heads up, if you are first at the finish line, it doesn't matter when you leave. Wally didn't even know!:D

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Ive thought about this....maybe its not the driver but how slow the car reacts....Im blaming this on the builder.....

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Or you can look at it this way B 1 The car is lite and makes to much hp to hook on 9" tires, when it is factored correctly the weight will go in the trunk and the car will hook. they still need 100#

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Yes, they do.

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

Are people upset about the horsepower to weight ratio they have been given?

Re: Bales goes 1.28 under
 

people are upset over the hp factors, which are completely bogus, and with the infiltration of parts into stock eliminator which have previously been illegal, but now by the stroke of a pen are legal on the factory cars, and only the factory cars.
