Speeds in S/G

Dave Steltz · 01-13-2009, 07:45 PM

My good bud Kenny has a SB vega, only runs about 141-143...and he does good...there are some hitters that know how to play the slow mph game..

I think you can do some damage with a lower mph car...even my lowly 150 got me a top 10 in SG in 2005..and I have a Wally in SG...and a few r/ups..I've raced more than my share of high mph cars and won...

But I do believe that racing from behind or beside is easier in alot of cases..

I just cant spend the 20K I would need to go 165...

And I might have hit the brakes more than once giving the fast guy the stripe...

Dave: at least you have good neck muscels from turning your head.
And I will have to do it in 09 S/C 1219 8.90 168 with doors!

Eddie,
Just cut the top off your Olds ( like a certain Maryland S/G racer you know ) Maybe no MPH gain but a lot better view!!

And a couple of best engineered....awards...(of course until Asta brought his car out)

Who cares how fast you go.....all the guys have beaten faster cars....certainly ours has been beat up on......we were just fortunate enough to get help on a couple of motors......and the ride is a little more fun at the faster speeds....

and Eddie....that dragster motor in your car would make that thing run pretty good...I need to stop looking at it so it doesn't end up in the vette....

it took a couple of years to get the current combo right....another 100 would really screw it up....
