The other -1.200 run at Sportsnationals

[5919 SSKA]

I might have a little something to say with regards to SS/LA...as I went 10.46 at BIR in 'Bracket Mode', then went 10.35 in Earville, Ia in SS/KA a couple weeks later at ALMOST LA weight.

Just Sayin'

The little Voges 305 is FLYIN'..........now, if we can only be smart about it, and avoid a Hp hit. 2013 could be VERY interesting.

First of all I want to say that Garrett is a friend of mine. This statement does not reflect negatively on him. That being said one of those parts that the AMC's got a few weeks ago is what made that race so close. Going from a small AFB to a 780 Holley had to be .10 to.15. That's what happens when someone who has no clue about stock and super stock make decisions like this.

Or maybe it was the HUGE HP increase Garret found AFTER the Carb was installed many races ago? Garret's run that Holley for a few years in IHRA (as it was accepted about 8+ years ago). Im not going to say what unleashed more HP because it''s not my position to say so. But he's teamed up with Adkins and he ain't no slouch on the dyno! The Holley is good but it's not NOS.

When I was racing my car a low 10.50 was about 125+ mph, was the mph slow for everybody at Columbus? Travis what was you mph at the 10.46? Tom

Tom, Since I am from Nebraska, I am going to chime in. As I recall, you race a 283.....Nebraska has no "sea level" tracks. Smaller cube engines kill MPH more than ET at altitude. 125 MPH should be around 10.35-40 at a sea level track. Correct me if I am wrong (it often happens....just ask my wife)....

5 HP greater than a '68 Z-28 302? Yea, I can tell you know allot about engines. Hey, 290's are a dime a dozen, jump right in!

Power glide or bogus t350 or t200 trans that was not even a gleam in Chevrolets eyes back in 1957?

And Lots of people still spend LOTS of money to "enjoy" the events knowing the changes and the politics will always be the things which upset 90% of the racers. The only thing which ties everyone is the fact they dream of being the lucky 10% next season when their motor gets aftermarket heads, a bigger cam, a 3 speed trans or they win the lottery and buy a Mustang..
