Talk about being under-rated!!!

Could this be right? Bob Shaw 12 773 on the original index of 14.85. For those of you that cannot subtract, that 2.077 under or 2.377 under the old index! Flame all you want about the new $100,000. race cars. This one can be done for less than $5,000.

Then you should do one. Good luck with that.

What makes you think you need a COOKIE CUTTER car to win?
Turbo cars might throw you a curve every now and then. But an NA car is an NA car no matter what motor is under the hood.

For any of you that think an off the wall combo is so cheap to build.
Try to build one.

Gee, I don't know why not.

We were just told, during the red light debate, that there really wasn't an advantage to a faster car. It was just a matter of preference.

Also, years ago, during the deep stage drubbing, it was said by guys who never tried it, that is really wasn't necessary. You just weren't looking at the tree right.

I guess you haven't been following along here .You better rethink that position. ; -)

Billy, You miss my point. I'm not complaining. Just stating that the new cars are not the only ones under-rated, there are plenty of older cars that are under-rated also. You don't have to spend $100,000. to get one.

Billy Nees · 03-20-2011, 10:24 AM

I didn't think that you were complaining. I see that you're "no longer racing". You should get back out there! BTW, you are correct that there are a few older combos that are under-rated. The difference being the number of racers that are affected by the new cars. I've been racing these older cars for years and no one noticed.
