Yep..that seem about right for a new car..I dont understand why people trash on old combos for decades and decades when you can go out and be fast right away with brand new "STOCK"-cars..

D.Holly · 04-25-2009, 02:39 PM

Wilkes and Duell are both through to the 2nd round.

I would imagine that one could apply knowledge gained over decades and do pretty well with a new combination.

>>>"I dont understand why people trash on old combos for decades and decades"

Maybe it's because until recently, there hasn't been much offered from Detroit in the way of "New combos" for Stockers and Super Stockers....

Or, maybe it's what they HAVE and can be built up into a competitive car a little at a time, over a few years. Not everone has fifty grand to drop on a new car to race, just because it's easier.

Just my two cents worth... I looked this car over real good. Very nice car and nice owners. But this is NOT a NHRA Stocker.... NHRA take your head out of your back side and make a class for these crate motor cars. And while your at it Danny ( old buddy?) GET THE HP FACTOR UP WHERE YOU KNOW IT BELONGS ON THESE CRATE MOTORS ( ford and chrysler). Personally I wouldn't give a rats back side if NHRA went belly up tomorrow! Other than that I'm happy here at Indy!! Keith

I thought I had seen a picture of the motor...didn't know it came with a tunnel ram w/ 2 Dominator TB's

Keith is wright. I think the factory involvement in stock is a good thing for sportsman racing but I'll be dead & gone before NHRA gets the HP anywhere near correct. They need to have a class called factory stock added to stock elim. There would be lots of interest in stockers running mid 9s & our old dinasours would not have to run heads up with them, after all we already have the injected cars to contend with. Just my .02.
