Mr Rhodes, you have two Corvettes in the garage, shop, driveway, trailer, or wherever else you store and work on them. Race em, and don't worry about what someone else can afford or can't. It's what you can do with what you have that matters.

It's absolutely relevant if you have or haven't had a heads up with one of them. You act like you've been in the final of a National and got your butt waxed. I'll bet you haven't had a heads up, but you use this site to lobby for personal gain. If you didn't have a A or AA car, that would be irrelevant.

you'd lose that bet and i can think of at least 3 heads ups in the last two years or so. On we were broke and it wouldnt have mattered. I'm not lobbying for anything, i am not delusional enough to think NHRA gives a rat's ***.

As for the two vettes, we do race one of them. And I am about to start building the other. And i think before the year is out the package cars will effect alot more than just A or AA. look at the laundry list of new ford "crate motors", or the engine combos for the challengers. We will continue to run dad's car in A/SA, but we are probably going to start building a small block later this year.

You've had at least three heads ups with one of these "supercars" in the last two year's? My point in my last post was, If you haven't had a heads up with one of these A/FXer's in the last year, it was irrelevant.

Good luck with your new project, look forward to reading about it.

Sean: I race A/SA. I race Div 3 Points meets. I have raced the last four years at Indy as well as a few other National Events. At Indy the last four years I qualified twice, DNQ'd twice. I've spent well over 100K (and I mean well over) on my stocker. And I got waxed by a factory Mustang in the Third round at Indy this year. ( And according to Nitro Joe, it was the best run I've ever made.) And your point is ...?????

You have experience, but I don't see your name every third post, beating a dead horse.

And if you want some experience? I was in the final of class this year at Indy. I run GT/AA, and I was running Frank Grossi. The Mr. Grossi with the 454 in a Sunfire. I too, made my best run this year in the final of class. It was four hundredths short. I'm not on here pitching a fit about big blocks in front wheel drives, or the hp figures being bogus on Mr. Grossi's combo. I, along with my family, are continuing to work on the car, thinking we can pick up that four that Mr. Grossi had us by.

Write letters to NHRA, instead of all of this whining that goes on, with this site. IMO, it's a waste of time.

Sean: I understand what you're saying, but until some of these SUPERCHARGED Factory Cars make their way into SS, and they're in your class, and you get waxed by 3 tenths (and they're playing with you), not .004 flat out...... only then will you gain THE experience !

I sure wish you would have won your Round 5 at the 2009 Jeg's Sportsnationals.
