I'm not familiar with the track the record was set at, but I would not be surprised to see a .30 swing going to Indy.

I have not checked the entry list for Indy. If the D/SA from Maine runs....my bet is that he will not go in the nines. Bet it is 10 o's. And Steve might not bring Mr. 413. It might be his 1963 car, very little difference between a 62/413 and a 63/426....except carburetors. Hello Stevie.

My bet... an A/SA will run in the 90's.....no takers..lol....in the 80's??? No way they will get in the 70s....

Carbs are the same, 14 HP difference if both are lo comp.

An A/SA that only runs in the .90s at Indy will be a runner up......It'll take 9.90's to win in B, maybe even C (that's a big maybe). The D car from Maine ( if it shows up) will run Ten teens -EASY-...What will be interesting is AA. Who's gonna show up? And who's gonna be in AA trim? - Madison? Cooper? Shaul? Will the Carp Rocket be in A or AA?...With that being said, and depending on the players, It'll take a low .60 / high .50 to win AA, even at 3500'. It's INDY ! As Big Dan would say, Go Fast, or Go Home!

The wedge might struggle a little in bad air, but Mr. 413 obviously has the combination figured out and Mr. 426 will be there too.
It just crossed my mind that Mr Larry Hill has been very coy on this forum that past few weeks, deflecting attention from himself, and we all know he arrives to The Big Go ready.
Travis Hess and John Gray have been strong lately and could be a dark horses.
It should be a classic.

Frank, You're missing a couple more "off-brand' 9 second players.

It's Mopar or no car for me.

I'm very familiar with the track(Miramichi dragway). It's faster than any other track.it at sea level and a little down hill.traction is all ways good.DA is low most of the time(in Sept and Oct the DA will be -1200 and you will pick up .15).The track is good for .08 or .09 in July when the open is there.

The Same guys are always going to be at the top of the sheet
because they're always willing to adapt to whatever Nhra comes out with. It's really that simple
It's just harder for you older guys to adapt with new technology and cars. So bitching about the new stuff is a easy way out.
