Yeah, may be kinda sad, but it was really sad when it was flat out, and about 25 cars showed up to race.

Who's kidding who? This charade is getting old.

He crushed the 396 combo now working on the 350.

All the guys that don't like the FS cars should be pretty happy. No soft combos left for the COPO cars.

That's what I thought at the end of last year. He had made a handful of runs in E that were going to single handily get it 5 in the review and I didn't bother to go save it. I was wrong.

As long as the HP factor is out of whack for these combinations the AHFS as currently configured has no chance of correcting this.

So he wanted to see how fast he really was. The only one that knows is Tyler, as soft as it was doubt it will hurt it much. Flame away.

I am not much for pounding a combo when it can be avoided, especially because of a killer air scenario etc.However, some of these combos are so soft, most racers spend more effort slowing them down than racing them. I think they will be ok with some HP. I do agree that NHRA should require a tear down. If the person that triggers refuses, or pulls weight on the way to the scale ( which has been done in D3) they should get a time out.
