All I want to know is if jeff or anyone needs a good footbrake drIver for the Shootout.
I will be there running superstock. Jeff you could get atleast a six pack head start on everyone if you let me drive. Oh wait damn it you done pretty good in the eliminator at this race last year if I remember correctly.Lol

If a car enters Factory Showdown at Indy will they be in that class all race? For those of us who plan to race what will be the maximum weight that each car will be allowed to weigh and still fit the class. The maximum weight should be Minimum weight plus .5 X current Hp. including driver.

It could get real interesting if the weather is hot and humid and the new cars are at min weight trying to qualify in the field of 128. I think all of the cars in that class will need to run 9.07 to get safely in the show.

Me and a bunch of old and new gearheads will be pressing against the fence to get the best view of the show.

NHRA just took the index up to 9.90....Guess that was last week, DRC sure is slow to the draw on that one.

We all should have 3 speed auto trans. Ford got them; blown and unblown, chevy has the same, mopar has them on v8 unblown, but not on the v10 cars. We would be at least closer to the blown stuff anyway. Just looking to get a little closer. Maybe a 512 CID with a 5 speed. Move your feet when you let go of the clutch pedal.

Can't MOPAR submit a three speed for that one?

RJ Sledge · 07-16-2012, 06:09 PM

Hey Jeff, how bout you just trading in one of you DP's on a Mustang CJ ?? Seems easy enough, and you are in the car business right??

Hey, you might really get to liking it......

5 speed stick?

Now you are talking! I bet you could make that happen too!

We have what we need, but time is a factor. My wife became very ill, hence we backed out of Denver. We are looking at the project now. I think we have all the pieces for a 4 or 5 speed. 700 lbs torque.
