Whatever you say, JA
I'm sure you speak from experience.
Me? I just make it up as I go...

I wasn't referring to you directly even though I quoted, was for the original poster.

My apologies if you were offended in any way.

Not a problem. All opinions welcome here.
My point was that I've been involved with a couple of V6 EFI cars that were deadly consistent.
Also , almost any V8 combo is going to get the o/p involved in heads up runs, which he is trying to avoid for now. ;-)

And ALSO a two barrel carb 1981 Ford Escort.

I remember seeing that on the cover of National Dragster back in 1986.

It made me finally believe ALL THINGS WERE POSSIBLE!

Reading about that actually got me into Bracket Racing.

Mark's win motivated a lot of dreamers to stop dreaming.

And start doing.

Yes, that deal did spawn a few more Escorts.The majority of them were automatics though.
The rest of the story is that we started eliminations on Saturday and finished on Monday. We did not change the dial in once!
I truly believe part of that consistency was due to the stick shift.

Ahh yes, 4 & 6 cyl. classes not heavily populated.

Wonder if there's something the guy could rent that would run the number so he could get his feet wet?
