Exactly. I think the combo makes sense You have to earn the Class Wally not just show up What’s funny these are the same people that “Don’t Want The 120 under Trigger” Unless you run some bogus under factored combo. I wonder what #1 qualifier will be.......Definitely something NoT A Race Car

Maybe you better define "race car" for the sake of this discussion

Markie, I thing James used the wrong wording. I think it should be " cars with bogus HP factors". When I ran the gremlin I was originally factored at 160 hp. I got 5 hp off then 5 hp more, which I think was reasonable for a 6 cylinder with a carb that flowed 287 cfm. Then the FFFFords were given the gift of God and poof.Only my humble opinion.

If the vehicle is in the guide then it is a race car/truck, right?? Not everyone can afford a $100,000 race car. The diversity of the cars is what keeps Stock interesting. Whether it is a Pinto wagon, Malibu station wagon or a Chevy or Dodge truck have fun with it. Work on it until it is FAST.
Yes, some combos are FAST because of the H.P. rating and that needs to be fixed.

Rear wheel drive. Not a 2 barrel. It’s a CAR. That sound badass. Not some soft POS that can go 2 seconds under. Basically the crap you call a race car.

Now we know what a race car is.. I didn't realize that they don't have to be fast.
