No offense taken....but you took the letter from a business letter and made it a personal attack. Porbably will not be received and reviewed with much enthusiasm.

Ron Ortiz · 12-20-2009, 01:58 PM

Not a personal attack, just an observation and suggestion. The results will probably be the same as before.

RON... you need to send a HP reduction request since you got screwed when the early cars with the better carb got YOU hit with HP... send it today - contact Roy Dean for more info and another letter sent same time

you are right, but they can stuff all the AHFS up thier ***** couse it will never work... just give us a HP committee with woodro, provoast, travis, wesley...you get the idea engine guys with sense tech guys with balls... and let the chips fall where they may...if fords end up in SS so be it... travis tossed em at indy !

Since two speed automatics can be replaced with three speeds in certain cars it doesn't seem to me allowing a '66 or '67 car to use the larger carbeurator a '65 that is rated at the same horsepower can run would be nearly as big a variation!

Ron Ortiz · 12-21-2009, 11:28 AM

Jack, appreciate the info, but I wasn't looking for a HP reduction. I was makeing an observation of how Stock Eliminator seems to be somewhat influenced.

Bill, yeah, whats the difference with a little CFM.

Sounds like a good idea to me Bill. Then we can all go back to 165Hp and race on an even playing field. I'm all for it. Thanks for the great idea.

what two speed cars can replace with a 3 speed in stock (unless it is in the 2010 rules ?)

if you are discussing the 1957 - 1961 issue i had approved it is a fact these cars were equipped with a 3 speed transmission called a "turboglide" from the factory... since you guys are my U/SA buddies i will be happy to supply you with the data i supplied NHRA with which resulted in thier identifying this as fact and approving ONLY 1957 -1961 full size chevrolets as so equipped ... just ask !

jack

and by the way so far i have found VERY little performance advantage

Capt, was that the thing with the "GR" next to "D" on my mama's 57 Chev? I thought it was a turbine. It ran like a Buick Dynaflow. But then again.....

Jack McCarthy · 12-22-2009, 03:05 PM

that was it jeff... BIGGG said GR was for "get ready"

anyway 2 planetarys + direct drive = 3 speed ... also had a 3 turbine convertor was a pile of ***** that is why i dissapeared out of NHRA books when you had to run the factory transmission it sucked... but when enhanced by the "any corporate trans with same number of gears" rules... shazam its a turbo !

anyway jeff merry christmas to all my mopar friends down south and see you all at pats place in march !!

It's already there. They had someone come in from vacation, just to toss it .
They wouldn't want you to expect them to work for their salaries next year.
