Average year for the 10 @ LORDS2-2

[Joseph Teuton]

I know how a lot of people do not like having the "NEW" racecars in stock but last weekend the average year for the top 10 qualifiers was 1991. Now yes, some of us will not think thats "old" but to a bunch of us in racing years that is "old".

So I guess my question is, I guess is, Is it that yall dont like the cars because they are extremely fast, yet only 5 of them were in the top ten? And the winner of the race was in a 2001 and runner up was 1980.

Im not really sure why everyone hates these cars in stock. The are sold as factory race cars for stock and super stock.

Guys cant we all just get along!! LOL

The problem I have is they changed the rules to get them in. If they would allow the real showroom cars with the real showroom engine. Just like was done for 40 years I would be fine with them.

I don't like them because I can't afford one.

How can you use qualifying as an example when so many people are playing the ladder and protecting the index?

You are correct that many do play that game. I looked at the final quilifing sheet and out of the 49 other cars only 12 were 2000 or newer. So there is a 72% chance that you run an older car. If the new car fast guys are "so" dominating wouldnt you think there would be more in the top 10 in quilifing? If you go all the way to the top 20 spots you can only add 1 more car that is newer than 2000.

I think we should just all enjoy the sport of dragracing and stop worring if its a "new car" or "old car". Either way they both still have to be driven by a person. Or as some like to say "robots". LOL

Speaking of the new cars, I see that Dodge has a 426 Hemi listed for 2013. I guess it is to compete with the 427 Copos and the like. Looks like it is starting out with a little higher HP rating.

I thought there was some talk of Dodge coming out with a blown offering or two for 2013. What happened to that or are they still in the works?

[Joseph Teuton]

There is still talk about it! lol There has to be talk of something considering all the 8 sec. runs. We are there but not quite as deep as some of our friendly competitors. lol

Its going to be a fun year for MOPAR I believe.

If you want to talk statistics,what are the odds that the only two E/SA cars in the field get matched up in the very first round?

-0.964 E/SA J Teuton 4022 4 -0.762 E/SA G Glazener 2324 33

Look at the Indy qualifying sheet the past three years--they says it all.

I could take a moment to easily explain it, but if someone doesn't "get it" by now--they never will.

Exactly what I was thinking....and last year it was obvious everybody brought their "A" game.
