Agreed. I have seen, with my own eyes, some of these new cars
dialed more than 1.4 under at a combo race in
bracket mode. And they're doing that with engines that have not even been "built" to "blueprinted stocker specs", and in fact have never even been opened up.
We're not talking about one or two cars (that have been thrashed on for twenty years) out of twenty like it/them in the country that could run 1.4 under once, and then not be able to do it after the HP hit, we're talking about a dozen or so cars out of twenty in the country that could not only run 1.4 under, but could do it at least once or twice more after the HP hit, and probably still not have to go into the engine to continue to run 1.2 under.
Anyone who thinks things like that are going to help Stock or Super Stock isn't thinking too clearly.
