Jerry,
You forgot about the 12 lb per cu in class, SS/DS, w/ 750 carb. I had the mis-fortune to hit that index by .15 in 2004 at Montgomery.(ran 9.80's back then) Back then I was running a P/G & I learned to play the index game after that big hit. I almost hit it again this year @ Div 4 Memphis 9.86 (1.33 under, too close) in 3,700 DA air. I really didn't think it was on a good run & would do that in those conditions. Wish I could go to Indy, looks like I had the tuneup for Indy type air. The quickest I've ever run in SS/DS was testing a DC carb. The air was at 900 DA. It was within a tick or two of Scotts 9.57. We don't get good air but a couple of times a year down here in Texas so I've tried to make it run good in bad air. There are still a few of us guys that like to thrash these little V-6 engines. Still a few left in comp too. Scott, it's Nice they let you have a place to play after shutting down Sport Compact series. Welcome
