Coolest new Thing from PRI

[R Brown]

I'm betting they will win some races in 2011 but also they will lose races as well, based on looking back at results from 2010 I don't see it to effect anything after class runoffs. I would like an explanation as to how it effects eliminations after that. I mean how often did these headsup races with the CJs and Dps really happen once eliminations started?

Ask Larry Hill.

Maybe not the coolest thing at PRI but the most shocking thing I saw. Jesel now has solid roller lifters for the 5.7/6.1 Hemi for SS. These are drop in lifters, no keyed bushings or machining. Just 16 lifters and 4 tie bars similar to the plastic pieces the factory used to hold the stock lifters. Ready for this....$3200.

I'm glad someone's making money.

Cheap at twice the price after spending over $100,000 for a Dodge that you cant even get tagged and registered.....LOL.

Well, it affects the ladder and even getting on the ladder (Indy).

Who wants to loose only a couple of rounds a season to a joke? Many run classes with very few heads ups. Not the case for B/SA, C/SA, SS/IA, SS/JA, SS/KA, and several others. Some people (maybe not the bracket racers) care about class run offs also.

A couple of very good racers with very good legitimate cars took a whipping from new cars in heads up races in later rounds, as a matter of fact.

Ok, so how is this different from those good racers and good cars differ from them against a so-so car?

Easy, a legitimate combination is a legitimate combination. Some guys will always be faster, because they're able to do things better.

Example: if Sorenson, DeArmond, Shaul, DeFrank, Ficacci, or Koppien beats us heads up, I'm okay with that. They have a legitimate combination and they worked harder or smarter than we did. No one handed them a bogus factor that was 150-200HP soft. All of those guys are faster than we are, three of them run the same combination we do. They earned their advantage over us. No one gave it to them.
