B/SA Supremacy
 
I noticed that the class run offs in the B/SA was quite entertaining. Throughout the last couple of years I have seen the posts about the "Blue Oval" car. You know, that car that people say is a "letter from the builder" car, and how it is not supposed to be legal, but NHRA says it is. Then there is the "Bowtie" clan that probably have more entries in B/SA than any other brand, and alot of them very fast. Now, this West Coast Camaro shows up and runs quicker at Indy than the others and wins B/SA. Then some people say the Ford could have run faster, has run faster, but did not that day. The East coasters are in shock that it was a West coaster and not an Eastern or Southern car. Meanwhile, a B/SA Dodge is for sale from a Charlie Smith on the West coast that is the record holder, which his ET is almost a tenth quicker than any B/SA runs at Indy.

So, who really is the quickest B/SA

Ron Ortiz
U/SA faster than a B/SA car in another dimension.

Charlie Smith's car is now in Division 6, with new Canadian owners.

I believe if Hawk turns up the wick no one can keep up at B weight.

You may be right. But on that day the chevy was king!

It was nice to see someone give the ford a run for the money!

GREAT RACING TO BOTH TEAMS!

Jeff, I agree. I sure hope people dont think someone would bring a car to INDY to run 2nd . Seems pretty weak...Id rather give credit to the winners and make it REALLY attractive to be #1 not begin discussing how great some one coulda gone if they tried to be fast...B/SA looks like the class to be in STOCK. Real TOP/STK racing.

I think that 2 of the best B/SA cars in the country raced each other in the class final at Indy.
The numbers they put down in those conditions were awesome.
Congratulations to both drivers and both engine builders on a great race.
