welcome...to the real world, and real racing, isn't that what it is all about

X-TECH MAN · 09-03-2009, 06:33 PM

Its because of guys like you and those who race like you in todays 1 + under stock eliminator fields is one reason that the AHFS dosent work as originaly intended.

Michael Beard · 09-03-2009, 07:06 PM

No offense, but if everybody can go 1.15 under with that combo, then shouldn't it get hp?

Your Indy class win last year *was* really cool - was glad to see it!

rgarvey · 09-03-2009, 07:14 PM

well not everybody can run that fast anyway so when it gets horsepower the fast guys will not see a real loss but us slower guys see it. well i was looking for a rason to build a different combo know i have one. for sale a good slow 9 under car.

Well i run a E/SA Fairlane and i would not stand a chance against there combo. I hope NHRA will pay close attention to these posts. The numbers speak for them selves.

RJ Sledge · 09-04-2009, 06:31 AM

I really don't think that NHRA will add any HP to the Combo,they should, but it sure seems strange that the same motors in a Challenger and Cuda are rated at 10 HP more (299). They know the potential that this Combo has, it has taken a situation like this to cement it. And as Mr Buckner has stated, "4 HP won't slow me down any", sounds like he's not afraid of anybody including the HP Factor Committee.

My hat is off to everyone that runs their cars flat out for Class. Thats really what its all about, isn't it?? And there's not a better place to do it than the US Nationals.

RJ the real issue is who's the biggest bs'er you or Ray. In that regard I would have to say it's a dead heat.

Jeff Lee · 09-05-2009, 09:57 AM

I think the sport is called "racing" for a reason.

Austin Ford · 09-05-2009, 12:07 PM

Yea I know Adam Davis, he's a good guy. I don't have any thing bad to say bout him, even if he did kick my butt heads up 2nd round in Houston

. ...That's another race I shut off cuz he was goin 1.42 under, he was ahead of me though.

Oh, and my dad is gonna be fine. He is just doin a lot of testing on his heart and may have to do some procedures. I'll let him get on here and tell yall more if he wants.
Thanx for the concern
