There were 5 cars in B/SA And we were the 4th slowest. There were only 14 qualifying spots. So according to you we should have just gone home. How dare NHRA allow those mid motored, fiberglass bodied Corvettes in our class. They should have been put in a sports car class. RIGHT?
Well with a lot of luck and some great driving we won the class, the eliminator, and the W.R. Grace Cup.
It is amazing that when you think there is nothing left in a combo, somebody that doesn't agree finds something.
Other than class, how many heads up runs do you have? An awful lot of races have been won by the slowest car in the class.

Art, with all due respect can you cover 5 tenths or more with an 0 lite? Were those cars you are refering to factory race cars? No! I have more race attitude than you could imagine. Never said I quit, never said I was done searching for more power. The point is in the next two years there is now way the fastest REAL Stock or Super Stockers in the country can compete in the same class. Yes with some luck and great driving you will do OK but now, no way. If we had the money and the time my partners and I would have been there getting our rears handed to us. I know I am not alone on the subject.
