V10 - has it been to quiet
OK how upset can/should I be?
I thought sure ours (#5) would be done by the beginning of February. I was recently told by the MOPAR that there will be a 6 week delay in starting the builds. So the start has gone from January 3rd to February14 (so far). Also, I am guessing "complete, race ready" does not mean it will run as fast as the prototype did at Milan (9.40 @ 143). At least not right off the bat. :-) peace |
Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
OOHHHHHHHHHH yes it really is to bad your 100k stocker is delayed, BOOH HOOH!
Maybe it won't ever get built, now that would be something........... |

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
Welcome to my world, I thought waiting and racing went together....
And I thought we were spending big money for our love of the sport, having a good time and just enjoying life! John K |

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
What is the delay?
|
Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
I don't care what they spend as long as they get factored correctly, and soon. A lot of people that weren't fast suddenly will be after they write the checks. They will cry when somebody that can run fast takes one and takes a hp hit. After it all settles out (probay a couple of years) the slow guys will be slow again.

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
I love how people bitch about how much someone else spends racing. I cant afford a Drag Pack but I wont bitch at anyone for having one. How much do you think a fast 1.25 under ABC or D stocker would cost to build 2 years ago. I know more than one guy who has over 75K in their but again thats their choice. Get in where you fit in and dont bitch because someone can fit a little more $$$ in their operation. I guess you guys are looking for an OBAMA handout to go fast. Congrats on anyone who has the money to do this sport the way they please.

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
Alright some lively dialogue again
I wondered where you guys have been all winter - hibernation no doubt BTW - our car has never been slow - 10.29 in B/SA at Pomona Oh I know it is not as fast as you guys that are going to get HP like us for going 1.20 under - LOL Let the real cars show up for a change instead of holding back to protect HP And.. I have well over $50k in it - just not all at once OK let the bashing begin a new I got to tell you I find this website very entertaining :-) peace |

To whom it may concern: My ego is doing just fine, just in case you were concerned.

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
Glad to be of service.

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
Happy New Year everybody. Hey Andy's dad congrats on a new v-10, hopefully their will be some at Englishtown or Maple Grove this year. I like the new stuff, but still do enjoy the older cars. I would hope they will get stock and super stock worked out I enjoy the class racers in all classes. Why isnt Dodge using the Challenger in Pro Stock? The avenger....please.

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
I think the home made old cars cost more than we want to admit, especially for the fast ones. The most glaring omission is labor. The math gets fuzzy fast but even allowing ten bucks an hour adds up fast at the bottom line. I simply do not want to know how much my C/SA car has cost.
What are the comparative maintenance costs between the new cars and the old ones? Chris Barnes Wagons of Steel Stock 6621 |
Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
Go all that way and just race 1 car.....unheard of.....lol
Most guys would have 2 if they could afford it........ and most guys would have a motorhome and stacker if they could afford it.... I like the comment Terry made.....a stacker with a super gasser in....like that's a piece of you know what.......(you need to make a pass in mine Terry) Think about it....if you can build the stuff and buy it ....you can have twice as much....lol I'm on the Jeff Tueton Plan.....I just need more money....lol Rock Haas |

CBS......Never meant it that way....In fact I was thinking about a S/S and a stocker in a stacker when I typed that.....LOL. Im like you and Jeff.....Just wished I had some more money. Have to admit the fastest pass I ever made was in a friends S/C car (rear engined dragster) that ran about 168 MPH but that was about 20 years ago. Id like to make a pass in your SS/DA better. |

20 years ago (1991) there weren't to many 168 mph S/C cars.....and that included when they were wide open. Timers were not widely used yet........most people used plate stops or a bolt.........average S/C car went 155 Bracket dragsters were mostly 8 second cars and very few ran much better than 160.... So if you went 168 in 1991 in a dragster that was a pretty fast car for the era |

Now you plunk your money down and in most cases (not all) send the car to some shop to get all the "enhancements" fitted in,and to beat all get a 150HP + advantage to start.And in the case of the Mustangs run the car at less than WOT and run amok over all the old combos. I've been witness to a Drag Pak build over the past year and it in no way does it resemble what anyone in their right mind would consider being a stocker. Maybe that's why people have a problem with these new combinations? |

My dad class raced back in the late 60's and well into the late 70's, back when there were no index runs...First one to the finish line won..He got out of it because of all the crap that is going on now...He says it is too much like bracket racing now. Maybe he is right. Just my opinion. |
Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
Look now there is somebody out there that gets it!!! if you can't purchase it off the show room floor than it's not a stocker, if the factorys want to build custom race cars then put them in super stock or create a class for them. Both mopar and ford have engine combo's that wouldn't last a week if ran on pump gas, but it's all about how much and when do we get our $$$.

Re: V10 - has it been to quiet
Just face it. It is what it is. Welcome to the future. I can't wait to see a V10 DP go down the track even though it might take some time for me to get use to the sound of a V10. ;).... Still can't see one keeping up with a Super Snake.
I'm more scared of this for our future. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ukL...1&feature=fvwp Or...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=369h-...h_response_rev |
