Jeff says he "only" ran 11.01 in H/SA class, but he forgot to say was he only ran 101 mph. I am willing to bet the farm when he was testing the day before the class race he was at legal weight, and he never denied that. At Houston,the car ran -.078 under (10.47) in SS/KA. In December that would have been -1.07 in SS/KA with a "Stocker" motor! 275 HP my ***! The point being NHRA needs to be realistic, or is there an ulterior motive here?

As I said before, I do not begrudge anyone for taking advantage of these highly underrated combos. If I had the money I might be tempted myself. What does tick me off is NHRA not even making an attempt to rate these cars fairly. Jim

Jim
With all due respect I do hold it against the racer
Since NHRA wont police the class we as racers have to, and be honest as to how we race
And in this case he (jeff )wasn't
And thats why he is playing games he knows what he did
And it isn't working as racers a lot smarter then me are calling him out on it
