I'll run some 10.00 races because I have a car to do it with.
I was there when S/G started. I tested converters and fluid exaust trannys to get an advantage. I won some races. The guys that want to go back, want to go back with the equipment they have today except the things they think have changed the sport. They want the nice new racetracks and the big slicks but not electronics. The new timers and time slips that go to the ten thou. I remember racing douglas ga. and albany and savahna ga. I remember getting out of the car and going to the bottom of the tower and getting my time slip out of the can they drop down by a string. I did win some races but I don't want to go back. When you guys get back there gas won't be $ 1.00 per gallon. I love racing and I'll race till I die whatever they do, and Ill try to win races so change whatever you want and come over and say hello when you get to the track. I'll be there. Gene |

I won a double-under at the 10.0 Unleashed in Gainesville (my Nova has no cert) against a full-cage car and didn't get protested. But maybe that was she was parked across the aisle, all the way from Canada, and we worked on her car all night the night before to swap out a broken transmission. Sportsmanship runs both ways. I don't know what the "official" policy is on that. NMCA always used a 1% courtesy (e.g. 9.91 was OK in a 10.0 index, but 9.89 got tossed).
If you really want to kick the hornet's nest of high-end throttle stop racers, name the classes for marketing - Nostalgia Super Gas = 10.0, Nostalgia Super Street = 11.0, Super X = 12.0. |

"The Champions wern't the wind bags but the Old racers giving out awards to each other."
This is the way it always is, I've been to 3 or 4 of those events. |
