1.20 under at Belle Rose

[Frank B.]

Car left track Friday on wrecker with broken rearend. Came back Saturday first run was class. Was left on by .05 and opponent was going 1.17 under at 1000 ft. Opponent dropped him and he missed drop. After working on rear night before he had to tear down on Saturday. Does not sound like how I would have planned weekend. He did make it to final on Sunday and did leave with wally for class

Sounds like a pretty good weekend other than the broken rear and going 1.23 under. Congrats on the RU

LaPorte was .07 ahead at 1/8th and .07 ahead at 1000ft.

People make mistakes, don't fully understand the rules, sometimes just don't care.

This combination has gotten HP by making dumb mistakes in the past.



Am not defending this fellow but know for fact he worked on his car and combination for years to make it fast. Am sure he is not so happy with what he did but he did win class and got the runner up!

That shows he was letting off before the 1000ft.
The big caprice played him good, the next time they race the caprice will have the advantage. Stock racing at it's finest.

If I have someone by 7 at the eight, I'll have him by 9 at the 1000th

The HP for 3 cars was hit at the No Problem race.

1 of the 3 is not mentioned in the 6 pages of comments, 1 is congratulated, and the other 5 1/2 pages focus on the 3rd car.

When the HP on that particular combination was increased from 268 to 272 in 2015, no comments were made on this forum regarding the person(s) responsible for affecting that HP increase.

Kent's car has always been quick and he works on it to make it quicker (as we all should do). He is by no means a "rich" guy who spends 10s of thousands of dollars to improve his combination. He had no idea the car was on that quick of a run and was just as unhappy as every other person with that combination that he "hit" the HP.

It's obvious (because his car was torn down and found legal) that anyone with that combination can run that quick. Spend more time working on your combination and less time complaining that other's did and reaped the benefits of hard work.

Greenlight just about every time anyone has gone 1.20 under that I can remember there have been threads about it. 2015 we got hp due to a review and I was one the many that flagged the combo by hitting the 1 under mark that year and even though we all worked to get the average back down we were a little short. So kind of apples to oranges in this case and like was said I'm sure Mr LaPorte feels bad about it I've never met him but always heard nothing but good things. I've worked very hard on this combo too and can tell you it's not really fast anymore, only way it could go that fast is under these conditions from this past weekend. So another 9 hp pretty much puts it in the same league as the LT-1 now, in obscurity. I did congratulate him on his RU and will move on like everyone else but you'll have to excuse me for being a little bitter also at the moment and not really at him either but more at the system. Like I said those conditions were the only way this combos goes 1.20 under and there's nothing in place in the the current system to say hey this ain't right this combos not really that good but rather here's your 9 hp. The system is good enough to know two thirds of the field went 90 something under or better so their runs don't count but this one does. Just don't seem right to me.....
