Billy how did your meeting about the AMC stuff go with NHRA?

I see about 15 combos in the top 30 at the World Finals that could be built for under $20k.Maybe even 15k!!!

I give a sh!t. We're talking bogus performance here not the eliminator.

Tony Janes · 12-05-2012, 01:57 PM

The eliminator is what it is all about. Performance for the most part has little to do with the final out come of the eliminator.

Tony, it may be what it is all about for you but that is not the case for many of us.

Bruce, just spend $30,000 on your car in the right place, then it will be fast. I bet if you call Jeff Taylor and spend the money you could run with 95% of all b/sa cars in the county. The problem is most racers don't want to spend the big money it takes to run fast. They just want to bitc$ about how fast everyone else is. It costs money to run fast in the top classes, always has always will.

The money I spend is money I have earned. I don't rely on family to support my racing. Secondly this discussion is about nhra giving the OEM's bogus HP numbers.
