Out of all of the cars at this past Indy Nats, IMHO Jason's was the most impressive..a bad fast Buick.

Indeed it is; but think he (or any of the D cars) can shed enough weight to get close to 8.25 lb/hp? Know the Hill, Hatch, Bennett cars are bad fast but sure sounds like a tall order.

I wouldn’t bet against any of the line boys should they decide to jump in and play in Top Stock.

I agree-as a former owner and racer of Buick GS models, getting a 70 GS down to 2850 within stock rules isn't likely
