Surprised?

Anyone with an old school car is saving their combination these days. If they're smart.

I refer it to THAT SUCKS, BORING.

Why not just change from 1320 to 1000, oh I know, then they will just run to the 880.

I think "smart fellers" (say it fast 5 times) is more appropriate.

Not Surprised Alan, Just did not notice it at first. I remember this being done years ago mostly by the Mopar contingent like at Indy.

Ever notice that a certain Mopar racer in the late 70's early 80's seemed to have to change rear end gears often after braking (yea) after winning class. The Mopar guys raced to 1000 feet. Oh yea, he raced a Chevy at the Gators this year after a long absence.

Actually, the most famous picture of someone going through the lights with all four locked up was a 69 camaro which could hardly be seen through all the tire smoke, and it was this picture that caused the NHRA to take action.
