Hope I do not regret this post and I hope it is taken as just an honest question.

Like I said on another thread, where was all this concern for my stock trucks which got factored and classed from first to last, and where was the help I asked for for my 69 Six Pack car. Yall a little one sided. Let the system do the work. These new cars will surely step on their foot. Too many of them when they all get to the track. Hell I will probably step on my foot.

This is the same argument from the 60's when the factories jumped into the frucus, the Mopar cars, the camaros, the copo cars, the Shelby's. Just 40 or 50 years later.

Jeff,
This is not the 50's or 60's. You are racing a 1 of 3 race car that has overwhelming advantages over it's competitors. Your old truck has little or nothing in common with your new car. Sure you can race it all you want. After all it is in the class guides.

[Charley Downing]

Ok from this point on all racers in stock must race a 1970 350 camaro so the class will be FAIR. And racers can only spend a max of 30,000 on your car. You can only run a TCI trans with a 2.75 low gear and 5.13 rear gear with headman headers. Would this rule make everyone happy because that is about the only where I see SS and STK being fair for all.

Bruce....the pulleys were on there....I was getting ready for the CIC race.........except for radials.....

My point was that if Brian was in D...he would have dominated just like we did....till the final...then we would have had some fun....

For me the biggest issue with the new cars is the fact that they aren't true production cars that should be in stock. I cannot roll into any Dodge dealer right now and open the hood of a Challenger and find the engine these cars are running in Stock. The Ford is actually closer to stock than the Mopar but like the Dodge it's not a true production car. The production Ford weighs 3900 lb and is 550hp. I don't have a problem with fast stockers I actually like them. They do have a significant advantage over older cars and that's to be expected with the increase in technology. I think they should get moved to their own class and eventually when the hp does even out then move them back into Stock but I imagine by that point they will be super stock only cars due to the extremely high hp factor they would carry by then.

This will solve the problem. Make the AHFS 1.00, then take only the class winners to race on Sunday. Problem solved in 3 months. But then again I don't really care, although I'm building a 383 for stock in a b body wagon. It will be 280, the same motor in the cuda is 297 I think.

[Jeff Teuton]

Let me see if I can make someone's day. I think Mopar will make 50 2010 Drag Pak cars, I think Mopar will offer a body in white, contents yet to be determined. I think Mopar will offer a 392 Hemi. I have an idea a blower might be in the works. I think Mopar might offer an assemble-it-yourself motor package for the Gen III Hemi's. I think the base motors that the Drag Pak Hemi's were made from are or will be available as crate motors at a very resonable price. And I think the Fords have announced several motors, and there are I think Camaro body-in-white available, but no combos done or approved. Maybe some of the Ford guys could chime in here on what is available.

Why not make it .75 under then take class winners ONLY to race the eliminator. Problem solved in less than a month ! If the HP to shipping wt ratio puts any combo at less than 7.00 lbs per HP then they race Super Stock only. Another problem solved.

Rock; anybody that knows Brian, knows that he always likes to show what he has. You guys on the other hand only run as fast as you have to. Funny how a car that was a 9.40&50 car last year is all of a sudden a 9.0 car now. Brians' combo is near the end of its' development life, where yours' is just getting started. You ran as fast in D as Brian did in C. So what do you think you would have ran with 200lbs out as a C car. We all know your car should be a C car now at the weight your running now. You ran neck and neck with Allen Wade last year, now he doesn't stand a chance of ever beating you, short of a red-light or you break.
