Jr/Stk is an NHRA D-1 thing...

Bruce Noland · 12-18-2008, 04:31 PM

Well, it's kinda like Joe says. The Top Guns listing is his deal. And I agree with him.

LNorton · 12-18-2008, 04:45 PM

Thats right Pohill... The stats are Joe's deal...

I guess we might have a Pohill's Stats next year, so that we can have "real" top guns!

Keep up the good work jack!

Why do you guys give a **** ? There is nothing to be gained about being #1 on this list. Do you even subscribe to Joe's stats?

Nitro Joe Jackson · 12-18-2008, 05:22 PM

Here is the deal on this. Jr/Stock is a class considered by NHRA (if not it would not be allowed on qualifying sheet) Dave Ley & Bob Lang runs Jr/Stk in D1, plus it has been ran in D3 & D5, if you look in my regular stats there are a total of 4 drivers that made runs in Jr/Stock that counted in the regular eliminator in Stock and 20 racers that made runs in Top Stock at different events in 2008 (D1,3 & 5).
IHRA has never ran Jr/Stock. My rules are if it gets on the Sunday qualifying sheet it goes into the stats.
My stats, my rules i guess, lol.

I try to do my best with the stats deal, takes a lot of time.
Sorry , but Dave is right, doesnt pay a dime to be #1 in my Top guns, just thought i was doing something special doing it. .

BTW Dave, Bruce has been a subscriber since the first year of the stats, but the others are not.

Bill Howell · 12-19-2008, 01:25 PM

Just wondering, do the HP factors apply to Jr/Stk? Do you get instant HP for 1.40 under?

Also, the End of Year stat books are in the mail.

Bruce Noland · 12-19-2008, 04:02 PM

Bill,

Jr. Stock and Top Stock are exempt from the AHFS. That is one reason to compete in this series. They are a ton of fun.

Billy Nees · 12-19-2008, 04:47 PM

I keep patiently waiting for "Bottom Stock" or would it be "Baby Stock.
