New A/SA In Minnesota
 

...... and the plot thickens for Indy.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Is it a 2015 376/365 ?

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

That would be my guess

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

At the Midwest class races he had been running very well in B/sa, my guess is he is almost at b weight in a. Heard he just had to switch the intake and a few other things to get to get to reg stock class, to get away from the out of control factory stock. Tom

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Looks like Uncle Al had to change rods, pistons, crank, and intake and the COPO cam will check but if he wanted to, a cam change to the street cam would improve lift.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Well, at least he didn't have to change the rear end.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

lol!

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

I heard 2-3 will be there

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Yep - Heard that too.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

I heard A B and C's Indy Class winners are already decided anyway. Better off knowing now, that way everyone can pull out and save the money for curtains. I do hate to see dreams crushed though.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Wade, Indy dream was crushed $$$$ ago. Good luck to all that participate. Tony Tosto 5302 G/HSA.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Wade, sounds like you left some hope in there for D.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

So when do the checks start arriving in the mail?

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Pretty sad if that's what it takes to beat up on 50 year old combo's. But what ever makes them feel good.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

We shall see..

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Well said NO new cars should fit into any classes that the old cars do.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Cheering for the 55 year old car that has to be the ugliest car ever built. Lol. Shaul and Larry would be a player too.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

I still put my money on a little ole' Vette from Pasadena in B/SA!

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Personally think that anyone posting $$ and prizes for the A/S and A/SA challenge should stipulate it can't be a newer car...oh yea, AHFS will fix it, yea right, with new car combos added to the guide constantly, don't think so.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Sounds like they have been bagging for a long time, think we'll see any real numbers, running all out? The bitching about the "intake" sounds kinda silly now, but that depends on what side of the fence you're on.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

That's pretty much what they said in the sixties!

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Mr. 413 for me.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Wade, I know a couple of vintage factory hot rods that won't be laying down for anyone.
Somebody might have to show their hand if they're going to be a predetermined winner

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Nothing is decided until the race is done. We still have to go out and compete. It's Indy and nothing is for certain other than anything can happen. Bring it all on, just because a car is bad *** and better on paper then anyone else doesn't guarantee the final victory. There will be some very good cars in that class with good drivers. To me it's anyone's race.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Word on the street he he won't be running the 413 car.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

If they ran races off paper, there would be no need to race! Strange things can happen!

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

But the 413 car is the record holder and everyone wants a shot at the record holder. Steve went .001 in the finals of class last year but now he is a year older, who knows? He is still bad fast!

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Hey Wade can we all run D since they've already written the checks for A/SA through C/SA? LOL...it's gonna be fun regardless, a good *** whipping just makes me work harder so I'll be there guns blazing!

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Just one question - for now -

How does a vehicle lose 600 some-odd pounds between 2010 and 2015?

Magic? :D

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

No. Not magic. The spec. that GM submitted for the 2010 Camaro is awful. That is why no one has built one. I purchased a zero option 1 SS to prove that the spec. was wrong.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

The '62 Plymouth is a beauty queen compared to the Dodge!! (Has a face only a mother could love)

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

My wife's 2007 Escalade is equipped with the 6.2 (376) and it is rated 403 by GM. Ten years of development, DPI, etc. and it lost 38 HP, amazing.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Jimmy, nhra stopped being a legitimate sanctioning organization years ago. They will take money from any source and compromise their membership to accommodate that money source. Chevrolet is a TV sponsor and will get what ever it wants. Each year the product/service that nhra offers ALL racers loses value while the cartel in Glendora feeds at the trough.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

So you are saying that all of the pre 2007 HP numbers submitted by the OEM's were right?

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Why wouldn't they be? I doubt they would misrepresent the specs on the vehicle as it could get them in legal trouble with the consumers.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

It is an absolute documented fact that a lot of the combinations in the sixties were underated.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

According to Chevrolet, the showroom cars in NHRA racing were based off the CRC or Competition Racing Chasses (body in white) the shipping weight (3150) was based on a 'lighter" showroom engine vs the Copo (3195). Based on our CRC based on Copo, to determine the weight, as it is assumed Ford and Dodge used their Cobra Jet and Drag Pak when determining Showroom shipping weights.

That's pretty good.

Now I'm sure we all agree that is a good way to determine the shipping weight. I mean we are only talking 500 lbs or so. No big deal. Sherman, Boudreau, Cummins & Cummins (sound like lawyers) Hill, Shaul, and all the others agree with this so it's OK? What yall think/

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

The boat sailed on this way before the 2015 Camaro was submitted.

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

It used to be a big deal to run 9s in a Stocker..chrome bumpers

Re: New A/SA In Minnesota
 

Now the traditional Stockers have D/SA car in the 9's.
