Hey Thanks for the reply. I am going down to Glendora in November for the finals. I have talked to the tech department before on other issues and will bring this up as a preliminary issue. I haven't built the car yet so I have no grounds. I don't see any record getters in ths index but from what I am hearing about those P class Pontiacs a 12.60 is going to be the norm. I can not make a 2 barrel Ford weighting over 3000 lbs to go that fast. They will see that if one of those guys trys to set a national record. If they play the finish line game then I guess I will be a duck and may not make the index if the weather gets tough. Thanks
