Default Re: NHRA Fastest 128 cars

I f Wally did not care about lower class racers then why did he put more and more classes into NHRA racing in the 60's & even the 70's. I think he wanted as many classes as could be, BUT maybe not everyone at NHRA thought that way.As what happen to Modified....
now it's going to happen to stock soon,as they will 1st put stock into ss, why else would you be able to run heads & blocks for Mopar & Gm that are being made right now,not what came on the cars like before..
it's going to happen , less class tear down,no class trophys .not much cost to have 1 elim. and still not much of a pay-out .

Jack, I couldn't agree with you more, lets race. Mr Warehime you are correct, the only advantage I have is very few wish to build one.

Exclamation Re: NHRA Fastest 128 cars

Mr. Kasch is correct! You guys who have been racing only a few years and think you know it all couldn't be farther from being right. You are giving NHRA a ticket to eliminate class racing. If you win class at an event, no matter how, you deserve to be in the show! If NHRA doesn't run class at an event they save $100 per class for the cost of the trophy. See where this is going?

Kenny, if you take all the Santa Clause stuff out of your car your point of view might change.

Larry, thats because I have been good. Santa always knows who has been naughty or nice. The question is, have you been naughty or nice? I think its obvious.

Jim, I seriously doubt NHRA gives $100 per class trophy. Maybe $25. The one we got wasn't even put together right.

Are we really sure it is fair to tell a guy who runs .80+ under he has to go home to let in a guy who singled for class and ran .55 under?

I'm not sure that having the fastest 128 cars in the field and not letting class winners bump in is the death knell of class racing.

Wink Re: NHRA Fastest 128 cars

Kenny - Santa has always known who has been naughty .............By the way -- build a GT500 --next time you speak with Evan ask him about my Ford background .

Alan-- You're right on the money ! ! ! the faster car is way more deserving .

Jim -- $100 for the class trophy -- you've eaten way too many Gator burgers .Better lay off that stuff.

Talking Re: NHRA Fastest 128 cars

Ok, but I was told by NHRA many years ago when I tried to get an additional trophy for a sponsor that NHRA paid right at $100 each for the Wally. Are you guys saying NHRA lied to me?

I don't eat gator burgers, I eat gator tail! Jim

Yes ,it is. That .55 under car just might be the the most legal, by the books, Stocker on the grounds.
