Re: Where are the lower class cars?
You ain't kiddin'... even with the turbo, Moller was more than .60 slower at Bristol than zMax. I was at Bristol for the K&N Spring Fling a few weeks ago, and was about .70 slow just in the 1000'!
In similar air (DA and correction factor), Farmington Dragway (which is around 1100-1200' physical altitude if I recall) was still .15 quicker than Bristol in the 1/8th mile alone. I made a jet change at Mooresville the following week and found .05 or so.... but not .50.

Re: Where are the lower class cars?
Maybe I shoulda said "RWD turbo"
Going from Speedworld to Vegas, I could go the sames times with the 4 speed and about .10- .15 slower with the automatic. Neil Smedley's Firebird was the same way. SW is just under the correction factor, as is Bristol . LV is at least 6-700 ' higher. Maybe Bristol is uphill to the 1/8th . It sure looks it.

Billy, Not everyone knows the thrill of making something slow go fast with work and inginuity. That's too old school for some.

Re: Where are the lower class cars?
Me too.I usually agree with many of Alan's posts.I think he missed it this time.Just my opinion.
Like the Hawk says "It's not what you drive,it's how you drive it" Alan,go stand in the corner for 20 minutes..
