Changing the indexes worked
 

21 cars got to go faster than the former trigger, without fear of HP. With the current indexes, .85 under would have been the trigger before at 1.15. I am not even clear on what it is now. I think it is one second. At least now guys can go fast and enjoy a speed sport.

So what worked? Tell the four at the bottom of the superstock qualifying list it worked!

Tell the bottom 4 to join their regional N/SS class club and have fun and enjoy racing again cause they ain't makin any money anyway's.

If they can't go fast and compete anymore?...Time to get out, retire and enjoy life. We can alway's build our old iron's new, problem is, we can't always keep up with the iron.

You mean New Iron ?

What about my hyperexotics like non-newtonian fluids and berylium retainers (said no titanium :)

I don't wont to argue this point but

I think Clark and Moreno were running Stockers in Super Stock - may have been grade point issues in stock - they wanted to be there for #50 so they ran Super Stock


Watts can qualify under the new indexes if he does not have problems.

The turbo VW - I do not know much about that combination, I wish them well and hope they did their home work.

Thats BS plain and simple. Some racers still have pride left and want to work on a combo that has been beat on for years, not buy some trick of the week, underfactored contraption and set back and gloat over how fast they are. The only thing that the 3 tenths did was to keep the underfactored .......underfactored longer.

Just for clarification, Fred Moreno's Red Mustang is a superstock car,
look at the big slicks. But I think his brother races another Mustang in
stock class.

With EFI??? Old carburated iron can finally rest. My belief is that the last true push rod motor will be a Hemi. 1.6 hp per cube is just the begining.
