Attention Nova 350/255 stock combo.

[Frank Castros]

Barry,
I understand your point and it's well taken. But I don't believe for a minute all racers that are able to run that fast are under factored but we know some are. Many of you guys work very hard on their stuff to get it to that point. But that's 50% percent pf the blame falls on the NHRA. The rules have become a joke and either they don't have the manpower or the knowledge to closely monitor the combinations.
Question; Does Indy influence the yearly averages and if so that's why I believe that some racers were holding back. Also do National Opens count towards the averages?

............and it'll never happen to the 396/375 or the 350/255.
Too many of them.

That is what makes them fast is a lot of people working on them, finding little stuff that can't hurt performance. If it can't hurt, it helps. With the less popular combos discovery takes longer or not at all.

I can't disagree with that Larry.

Big heads up race this morning. H/SA in maple grove. Dan Lynch and Jim Daniels both capable of running close to 120 under if they are all in. Barry

Looks like there was a 1000 foot agreement in play, and they were still plenty fast!

Heads-up! Daniels was quicker off the starting line but Lynch drove by him for the win. Daniel Lynch's MOV: 0.1225 seconds (approximately 19 feet).

My point exactly.

Does this type of crap really happen?? It for sure wasn't my first thought.. my first thought was someone lifted because they broke..

If were now agreeing to run to 1000' so we don't hit the combo changes need to be made to the system.....

Sometimes the guy who is loosing by enough just decides he is done and lets go of the throttle. Feels better to give up than to be .15 behind under full power. Lynch was going around a 95 if he stayed in it. Daniels was on a 10 run or around that. I’m sure they both ran hard and gave up when they felt like it.

I wouldn’t make any deals with anyone especially if they are the faster car. I’d rather make them take a hit to win the race. If not you race them again with the same circumstances and will get outrun again.
