Indy Class ...Enhanced !

[GUMP]

Mark,

I know when and what changed. My point was that no rule change was needed to add the factory cars. The racers themselves pushed for everything that opened the door.

Way back when Dale's site was the place to be I voiced my objections to many of those changes and received the same kind of replies that I have gotten on here.

Since I purchased my first COPO we have received the gift of roller rockers, any valve spring, and solid lifters. If asked, I would have said no to all three. But, I wasn't asked. All that does is drive up costs.

If you want to talk bogus I have a 1988 Cutlass that never had a VIN. It started at 138 HP and is now at 207 HP!!

Brett,

Is that the car that Beaver had for a while?

I think you're putting the cart before the horse here. I don't know of any people who were racing in stock in 2008 , that asked for factory sponsored, special built 100K Stockers. In fact ,those cars might be part of the reason that everybody got roller rockers, eventually.
Yes, I know about the no VIN cars. I drove a couple of them. They were pilot cars off the front of the line that were used for test purposes. I mentioned that only for comparison's sake..Cobra R vs. 2008 CJ's, etc.
Enough with this hijack, okay?

No, we raced it for a couple years and sold it to one of our employees and he still has the car today
