What the hell makes the difference, it's all just bracket racing with the correct carb(throttle body). The genie flew out of the bottle a long time ago.

Is it still bracket racing when you're running the same class as that blown rocket and you see him in the other lane (HEADS-UP-NO HANDICAP???)

I don't THEEEEENK SO....

Guys,
Thanks for the info.

Change class/dial up, dial down/two step your brake pedal/ acid port your heads/ceramic lifters/billet rods/ cal trac's/ pro trans/ wheelie bars/ yep, I'm sure that these ferd's and moper's will ruin the class!

Tony,
Are you running pure Stock this year?

Tony DePillo · 03-16-2009, 02:01 PM

Whats that? Can I run it with my 64?? Is that a new nmca class?
I'll be content to watch and take my old dog out a few times. I will also watch with interest as Terry and Alex move forward with their program. I am encouraged by the renewed interest in drag racing by the American Auto Co's as they sit on their death beds.
On a serious note, I don't see how these cars are any more of a stretch than the crop of GT cars we've seen in the last few years.
I should probably keep my big mouth shut, as I don't have a dog in this fight. Just get out there and do the best you can with what you have and have fun.
