Re: Stockers....buttons.....check This Out
Bernie......you have enjoyed a great deal of success in stock,,,,and your racing what???? isnt that a 2 stepped ..button leaving A or B /FIA car???.....Just tell the truth....Im rite and you know it,,,,its a hell of an advantage,,,,rite???
but for fun ,,I`ll address your remarks ,,one by one
on the flash issue,,,,,slow cars dont have that option,,,you cant leave between the lights on something you cant see,,
on the slow cars winners,,,your rite,,,,slow cars can win but it takes nearly a race god just to go rounds in cars that cant use the flash method,,,,I was one of the ones that got bitch slapped by the "no deeping" rules,,,,,and what pisses me off to no end is,,,,,a VERY GOOD reliable source told me why deeping got banned-------it was racers USING THE FLASH METHOD got really upset when looking for their lite to come on being distracted by their opponents top lite going out ,,,,,,causing them to be lost on the tree for a split second,,,,,so basically,,,Im still pissed about you keeping your 2 step and I cant deep stage,,,,,,as fast cars dont have enough advantage,,,,lets give them a little more
on the top fuel thing,,,,havent you ever run behind top fuels and noticed that cars tend to run off for the first few runs,,,,,just watch,,,whether its traction,,,air quailty or what ever,,,,yes it does make a difference
on the LED issue,,,I promise you,,,I make more run down a dragstrip in a 2 months than you make all year,,,,I run multiple cars,,in multiple classes,,,,,and Yes there is still a difference in the led`s,,,,,,,while there not as large as their incadesent brothers,,,,,there are differences,,,,,the one which was puzzling was the loss of about .010 to .015 in the dark,,,,,which doesnt make sense,,,so I did some research ,,,,I wanted to understand why,,,,,,,,was it me?? Am I tired???,,Is it immediate traction??,,,nope ,,,none of the above,,,,,and its not just me,,,,its every driver I know that I would think be quailfied to ask,,,,,and its at every track I visit...takes some balls to have a .005 lite and come back next round and roll .010 out of a delay box...rite??? so I had to find out why,,,I even call an eye doctor I know and he claimed it was the "deer in the headlite" effect,,,I think that one was full of ****,,,,But I did find out eventually find out why,,
on the testing of a car deal,,,,I also promise you I own the most consistent car on the planet,,,and its a great test mule because of this,,,,now I will give you this ,,it isnt a stocker,,,and from my limited experience in a stocker,,,,I do understand that 9 inch tires do react different and each combo does react different to the same change,,,,,so what does tire pressure do to a fast stocker????? does it slow it down??? ,,,just how much??? does it react different??? if your looking to kill RT and then it hooks better,,,what then......not nearly as simple as changing RPM with a dial,,,rite??
My big beef with the whole issue is every freaking rule is made seem to help the faster cars just a little bit more,,,,,stock was designed to be an entry level class where a guy in a pinto could build car in his garage and be competitive,,,,that day is gone,,,,,,the store bought stockers are here to stay,,,,
You have 10% of the racers winning 90%,,,,maybe that will always remain true,, who knows,,,what never ceases to amaze me is that the other 90% are off in LA-LA land when these BS rule perversions get introduced and then used,,,,,I mean, if a 2 step is legal on a car ,,,,and Im sure someone got it thru cause they claimed their car came with it,,,,they just lowered it,,,THEN it should be legal for me to use my windshield wiper delay to operate my line locks,,,,,,SAME THING,,,,,and then if one can use an aftermarket 2 step instead of the factory computerized rev limiter,,,,,,then why can I add a digital delay box to my windshield wipers that now operates my line lock,,,,,SAME THING
