Now look at you! Youl told us you were "only" 140 heavy for G/SA at Indy.

Thats just class racing versus bracket mode.....

deduct one 16V battery.....30lbs
1 quart of oil
7 lbs for lightweight radials versus standard radials
3-4 gallons of gas(or more if he has a 10 gallon cell)
a little bit of ballast 20 lbs
add dehydraded and hungry driver(up to 10 pounds)

Easy to get 60 plus pounds out for kill mode.

I was a little over the 140, too much beer and other bad diet items. I was 160 over, and that is with the 'new math' stuff. I just added it up. If I install my son Frank, it goes down 110-120 lbs, and the reactions get better.

It looks to me that 5.7 DP in E/SA is almost as fast as a 6.1 DP in A/SA and the 5.7 DP gives up 24.5 cubic inches........

Come on guys...it's not the money, it's not what class, it's not who is smart and who is dumb.

Can everybody say "It's the NHRA horsepower rating"

Good job....

Bob
