G/SA Current Record

[Jim Bailey]

You're correct, Chuck has one of the older cars that, in the right conditions, will go 10.60's .... But Chuck is a way smarter racer than that. He's spent thousands and years on his combo and will continue to protect his investment from AHFS....... Now maybe at an open with the right conditions, but NEVER at a ace that he'd get wacked.

He clearly is in the running for the fastest G/SA,but he did get beat on a holeshot at Indy by another old car that "might" be almost as fast in the right conditions?

Hmmm. 6340 vs. 3340, low comp. vs. High comp., Barracuda vs. Barracuda, 340 vs 340, East vs. West , now that would be a good one.

Pretty big "might be" Darrell. Look at the speed. I understand the weather kinda sucked at Indy........... We're talking good (Atco) conditions, ( and probably gear ratio changes ). Chuck has already gone 10.79 (in 2009). 75# heavy for G. Not tuned up. Point being - his car will go 10.60s in the right conditions, ( If he wants it to.) So the question still stands - Who's gonna be the "MAN".

The speed to me looks like he lifted and who knows how much?

Anyways,a car with a 455 engine only rated at 306 horsepower has to have a lot of potential.

Darrell, you're probably right... But, if I'm in the finals for class at Indy, racing a car that has me covered... I'm going to tune the BIT*H up, take a shot at the tree, and if it's not red when I go by it, my right foots gonna be as close to the front bumber as I can get it until he passes me or I miss the first turn off. But that's just me. ...Back to the post - we're not talking about a race....we're talking about setting the G/SA National record. - Bring your A game Boys!
