Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Excellant :D
Way to GO ! :)

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Larry, U/SA shoot out at Indy? Tom

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I have a $100 cash for the #1 qualifier in Stock at the 2012 U.S. Nationals.
Who else is in?

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Larry, I'm a little skeptical that you would park the Cuda for even one race but it would be great to have something besides a CJ on the top...I say go for it!

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

you wont be the only truck...
and if shaw wants to... a truck wont even win class (welcome life in u/sa)...

i do have a question, and this is a legitimate question TRAVIS or WADE...
if two trucks go -1.20 do they get double the HP hits ??...
if so i'm coming !

now that would be a good day !

captain :)

You Wish!!!

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I got a $100 that Bob Shaw can't win U/SA at indy this year. That pick-up is way faster.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I don;t have a clue about what car or class Shaw will run. But if he wants Number 1 he will get it.

BTW. I don't see Bob Shaw entered yet,

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

It looks like it will take 18.25% power. Thats for sure.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

That sounds like the Art Leong "FACTOR"

Actually it was a little over 13 %

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I think Bob has been retired from racing for a few years.I could be wrong,but i really doubt if he comes out of retirement to run the US nationals.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Charlie, take a look at your time slip from Belle Rose when you ran Bob Shaw in the CIC race. Remember I said to you at the time " that's nothing, look at his MPH, it's the same as what I run, and I'm going 14.50's". There is a whole lot more in that car than you think. Don't be going crazy on me and be bettin a hun, youd be loosen a hun.

Ron Ortiz
U/SA I saw his et & mph on the scoreboard before I crossed the finish line.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

A funny story (to me) that Bob told me one time was that he would get just past the 660' and set his cruise control for eliminations.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I hate to say this but if Bob did show up with the Caddy I think that he would get his clock cleaned. Sorry guys but I've got to go with the 350 Chevy at 165 hp over the 350 Olds/Caddy at 186 hp.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Wow, really Billy. Heard from a little birdie that Shaw has gone 12.60. And you're saying the truck is faster. Wow.

Hey Charlie, looks like you be gettin a hun.

Ron Ortiz
U/SA so, i would read the scoreboard a lot sooner

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Quite a few years. LOL He told me that it was his last year in 1998. I was in with 1.30 under we ran each other during the only car trophy run. and he went 1.47 under. So he took 1st. (better him than me). LOL

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Im with Charlie I dont think anyone can run with the truck, a really well prepped one
should go a square 2 seconds under without breathing hard.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Boy that's a tuff one! There are a lot of fast cars out there (if) they want to show what they GOT! I could pick one but I will not SAY!!:D

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Sure are a lot of people that seem to know of this top secret Indy truck build!

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Essentially the same motor in a camaro has to weigh the same in H/SA as the truck does in U/SA, just a little difference in compression. I bet a well prepared truck could go 3 seconds under the 14.85 index easy.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Hey, Richie Muhlenhardt, looking forward to hanging out in Indy with ya, do you still drink beer????

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Andrew, plus the truck gets to use a .430 .430 cam. Tom

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Heck charley, maybe you should just let Paul Wong turn your Mustang loose in G. Maybe you could keep the hundred then! LOL

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I hear alot of talking yet I seam to be the only one willing to put money up for it.

Just for the record I will bet anyone, that bob shaw's caddy combo WILL NOT out run the 350 truck combo.

James we just might let Paul run the CJ all out at INDY for fun. Seeing how he is the only guy in our camp that scales less then 180lbs. My Fat ***** can't make the min for H/S. And next year we are switching to the 352 stick combo. Can't wait to run F/S.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Ok Larry, you kicked this off....taking the truck?

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Yeah, don't look at me. I haven't been south of 180 for awhile now!
Hell. I would pay 100 to see your car go 10.60 in g at the US Nationals this year!

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I'll bet ya Charlie! I bet I can get to 180 before you. :D

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

First F/S car in the 9s???

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I'm sitting here thinking that the "Stock Automatic" combo at Indy is going to be a bloodbath.

Wade

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

There probably not be that many cars stock automatic combo. There were only four last year.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Footnote to thread: The 5.7 Hemi Stick runs F/S @ 3370 with the driver. Just a footnote. I think I got a Red Challenger and a 5.7 and some guy who knows about them things. Matter of fact, we went 9.89 in testing, just saying.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Alright, let's make this a race, drag pak vs cobra jet, first F/S in the 9s. Bonus points if you manage to get 50+ HP in one run. Hell, even with 50 HP, the 5.7 with a stick would only be halfway to where the auto is.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

it wont happen but i will place my $100 on the caddy, and maybe more if i hadnt got shaw hit 3 times...maybe a match race on the way home for wong ???

anyone know if two cars go under auto hit same combo same race does it hit twice i am afraid wade is right because the Automatic Help For Slugs cannot work.

captain jack

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

and by the way i aint skeered of them farmtrucks...
i got news for you guys, shaw has been in u/sa for 4 years kicking my ***, and now i get a fleet of pigfarmers racing trucks with 350's rated at v-6 hp...

all of which really aint that much fun but what really irks my *** is hearing all the a-g cars WHINING about how unfair NHRA is letting an underated combo kick THIER *** !!!

captain jack's commentary update :)

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

You go Capt. Jack!

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

They will be in Q/SA after Indy anyway. Hell if a mistake is made at brainerd it may not be a U/SA by Indy. Get the yacht out and knock the dust off it.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I don't think so. It'll take 21 HP to get it out of U.

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

I way under 180 lbs Charley and im ready to drive a stick car again soo...

Re: #1 Qualifier In Stock At The US Nats.
 

Dammmm Captain Jack ,,,, take it easy on the Pig-Farmers, Them there pick-um-up-trucks mean alot to us farmers !!!!!!!!!! From deep-deep in the cornfields Dennis
