Charlie Bob, just exactly which DP are you talking about and in what class. I might take that bet. There might be things out there you don't know.

Evidently. LOL

I can tell you all one thing, if you out run Jeff Dona and Ricky Decker in class at Indy you will have automatic hp on Monday morning.

Ain't that a good thing? LOL

When you have a car under rated by 75hp or so, getting 4 hp on Monday is no big deal.

Charley Downing · 08-02-2013, 04:01 PM

I think it would be more like 10-12hp on Monday.

Still take a long time to get them on an equal basis with everybody else. Then they would have to go to work testing headers, cams, intake manifolds and converters like the rest of us.

Yea your right Larry and those guys at engines inc don't ever test anything. They just slapped some bone stock engine together and ran -1.50. It's that easy

Ed you are forgetting that there are no where near the gains with the new stuff. My heads for example are killer to start we have slowed down two sets trying to improve them. All factory heads way better then they were 20 years ago

It would be great if someone could come up with a fair way that all the participats of a class could place a bet on their car to win class. Not necessarily NHRA's class. In other words, the slower cars get a timed advantage according to quaifying. (A spot) You would have to use the 1/8 mile times of course, because of the 1000' foot rule. You could use Joe's stats to get a real idea of how fast someone's car is by the years average and use that as a barometer. Sort of like golf, you get handicaps, everyone in the class would have to beat the fastest time with the handicap added to win "Racer's Class". Even if it's only like $20. a car.
Just an Idea!
