Extict A car...

[Bob Mulry]

So let me see if I have this right..............

Take run of 10.000 in E/SA....

This car goes out and runs hard enough at Sea Level National Events to get a 3.25% HP hit.....

This same car would have do this 6 times at different events (if any other DP 5.7 cars run 1.25 under at the same event it only counts as once) even after getting hit 6 times the HP rating would be 378 HP (a little more than an LS-1)

Now this car will race as a natural A/SA car and weigh 3194 lbs., which is 126 lbs less than it now weighs for E/SA.....

Let's see an ET of 10.000 and than you remove 126 lbs so you end up with an A/SA car that runs 9.90's in the summer at INDY.

However, this combo would have to be hit 6 times for that to happen.....

What a plan...

Very well put Bob, I don't know if we have time for this? I for 1 have 3 dogs in this hunt and not to mention the LS-1 which has been beaten beond recognition! How much does a fella have to take (I know Cour...work on my stuff and quit crying) I'm for an FX class just like they did the FIA. Funny cars W/Puffers...?...WTF...over

Dave,

I think we should take the NHRA management team out behind the woodshed, and don't forget to bring your sons with you.

I have to think that NHRA has a plan (they make too much money not to have one) they just don't want to share it with is.

I was once fired from a job as a Service Manager for a Cadillac store. They told me that "they had some new plans and I wasn't a part of them"

I just hope that's not NHRA's plan for Stock & Super Stock, but it makes you wonder.

Take care,
Bob

Take care,
Bob

If it makes you feel any better, I was fired from a service writer's job for the same reason.

2 years later the place lost their franchise and is now closed.

I'm doing very well though.

Some of you guys may not agree with me but if I was ever in a position where I was up against a bogus car for class, I would make him go as far under as I could so he would hit the H.P. trigger. I know everyone would do the same. The only thing I would do different, I would remove every extra pound of weight I could. You are going to get beat anyway right? So who cares how light your car is? Take out 150 pounds and make that guy to -140 to -160 under to beat you. Any if we did that it would not take very long before the H.P. would be adjusted to a fair rating.

Problem is John, you take a harder class average hit. You get screwed in the long haul. I saw heads up fast (real stockers) hit the brakes and push those cars as far as they could. That was the best case scenario in my opinion.

aside from hurting your own average, very good idea. I also think that leaving these cars unchecked will lead to more, and more flagrant "working outside of the rules" by conventional stockers trying to keep up with these cars, even though it is an exercise in futility

Ever since I bought DP #24, and we began building it, we have been wishing for a separate class to run in...

And that isn't because of all the whining and gnashing of teeth here, but because it would be more fun that way.

Now after seeing a total of 13 drag paks show up in Indy, I think it would be even better than I had originally thought... Give us our own class, along with the naturally aspirated CJs, (stick the blown CJs into their own class), and everyone will have have fun.... And we will also find out how fast these cars can really run, since HP wouldn't matter...

I am convinced that there would still be a lot of whining here though. People will be crying because the new cars got "special treatment" or they will find some other reason... But if not not for whining and crying, what would some of the guys here do? Go racing? Some already do race, and a very few of them are actually affected by the new cars.. the rest? Well, not so much.......

But look guys, I agree with you! Give us our own class, and all will be right in the world..

I totally agree. How do they police a supercharger? NFW. How do they police a good lap top tuner or even the new engine specs? The comments made about working on our stuff? I don't think we have any less time than any others working on our stuff. The point the new car guys are missing is they are not the blame however........ They are capitalizing on a bad call. Give them there own classes and lets get back to racing.
