By that theory I would assume that a car that can run 10.25 in D/SA should be an A,B, or C car. Since thats faster then %75 of the cars currently running C/SA. Right? Let's get over the "that car should be" stage, stop complaining about how everyone else is playing the game when you're playing it the same way...

The man makes a reasonable observation and you call it complaining?

[Patrick Downing]

You're correct, he's is has made a reasonable observation. Maybe complaining was a bad term, would you prefer B*tching or beating a dead horse? Also if the statement was made by someone who wasn't capable of a similar performance in the same class I probably would have said nothing at all (that whole pot calling the kettle black thing). Also I am well aquatinted with Andrew and he's a big boy and can handle a little razzing.

I don't really understand how it's beating a dead horse. The bogus factored new cars are still in my class, and I don't like it. Btw, I've never been anywhere close to 10.25.

Btw, tell Charley Bob I said to run that car out, I know it's got a 10.50 in it!

Sorry 10.39 @ 120 mph, you're good at figuring out what people should have run so what kind of pass were you on for the record in D3 fall air?.... Since you're usually running 10.60's@120 It's still just a game. Y'all could have build a Mustang instead of the Camaro for the same money.

10.39 @ 124, flat out at minimum weight, I had nothing left. I just looked at the incrementals from the 10.33 run today, 104.96 mph at the 1/8th, I've never been 102.

Well I started in C and maybe I will return, except for this large girth, someone do the math 328 3200 shipping. Let me know what max is in C. I don't think I can get there. If I got to run with all the skinny guys, then I should get a tenth just for being fat. And maybe it's New Fat, as opposed to Old Fat.

Really ! NHRA is not the only one who needs a clue. last time I figured out how much it cost ME to build OUR car it was half of what it cost for a newer bogus HP ride...

Yes, I'm the ignorant one here. Must just have my head in the clouds. But I know how much it cost US to built OUR Bogus HP Cobra Jet, and I'll tell you what if you'd like to meet up sometime and compare bills and receipts I'm all for it. We even have a nice little folder with everything broke down by cost in it so it will be nice and simple for you to see how much you can actually build a new ride for if you do it right. I'm willing to bet YOUR car and OUR car probably cost about the same.

I'd say the horse died after the first 2 years of you beating it. I'm glad that you know more about the mustang than we do (must be all those engineering classes your taking). How long are you going to be butt hurt about them being in your class? They're working their way out of YOUR class and yet you still complain.

Also, take your 10.39 flat out @min weight like you set the record, throw some thin oil at it, ice her down good and run it at -1800 ft Gainesville air. You don't really expect me to believe that 10.39 is all the faster you'll run.
