I would pay money to see John race the fastest SS/AH car heads up, I think alot of people would be surprised by how much more John is holding. By the way diesel just hit $5.60/us gallon here in Montreal!

I always look for the first real super stock car on the qualifing sheet. to me that is the real #1 qualifier. running that fast with a combo that has been flogged for yers and has been hit with HP many times is very impressive. It is really fun to watch the guys that can run like that.

I wish NHRA and MOPAR had not put all the Hemi s in one basket.AH. I know in a way it is good as they are very modified but with John running good and Paul Adams pushing it at B weight and Dallas Kelly getting ready to field a very great T- Bolt we could ALL enjoy seeing the Heads up Brands again. All cars allowed upgrades but Legal SS motor rules. I bet Spectators would even pay to see that SHOW. I have to give credit to ARTS vettes with Brandon and Kenny too. It is really getting fast in those classes...Ray Paquet with his Original Thunderbolt is right there at B wt also. Dave Thomas and Brian Oakes will all be there for class..

At least they let your hypo cars run Dick. A scab shop car company is OK, but one build by the dealer by a stroke of the pen is not. There should be all the factory race cars in that class, not just add Chevy. RA-V 428 dual quad 69 Firebirds, Stage II Buicks, Oldmobles, but they are all locked out. Now that would be a real show, not 1/2 a show.

Lynn, while you are at it what is your impression of 4 spd 55 chevy and the value to S or SS racing compared to..... any proposed change.

That the hemis have thier own class is a good thing,..wrong factors and stuff would be devastating for the guys spending what they do at the HEMI classes...dont get me wrong..i like the arnstrongs and others...but to compare them with what the SS/AH guys do right now wouldn't be right...thats Mini Pro Stock...if you didn't know allready...

John Armstrong is the fastest SS/AA on the planet; but if he wouldn't be able to handle Charlie Westcott Jr. headsup. The only SS/AH cars close to Westcott Jr. are his father, and his engine customers, Larry Woo and John Rains; Westcott Jr. is head and shoulders above all of the other SS/AH cars. If they ever get his father's 4 speed car to run the front half like it does the back half, it may be faster than Jr.'s.

The SS/AH weight break is 6.00; the SS/AA weight break is 6.00 - 6.49; I guarantee you that Armstrong is as close to 6.00 as possible. Don't get me wrong, I am a John Armstrong fan; but I still believe that if Westcott Jr. and Armstrong are both right at 6.00 lbs./hp, Westcott is the clear winner. Do you really think that Armstrong can run low 8.50s even at 6.00 lbs./hp?
