Same deal in SS

I don't doubt at all that turbo deal is a hard combo to get down the track well, for sure consistently. It would also be a harder combo to win with. For sure if dealing with the possibility of breaking out. They just have the CIC to deal with.
Very well put Ed. I have friends in Comp and I like it when they run the turbo cars. While they are fast and can take you to the cleaner, most of the time they don't. Consistency, as you mentioned, is by far the best thing to have on your side, and I think Dan can do that very well. My money would be on him no matter what.

Note, that I am not too old fashioned to think that turbos should be outlawed. I do admire the accomplishments that the racers make in that area, and welcome the technology.

Well I guess that shows NHRA and us how unimportant their race is to him. NHRA's WORLD FINALS and he is using it as a test for a MORE important race. LOL .He can go out and BOMB the CIC, what does he care... He bacically stated that his priorities are else where. If more of us treated NHRA with open contempt and disrespect (like they treat us) maybe someone would get a hint???? we could only hope. Good Luck DAN!!!!

With the rain,it will probably be getting dark for first round if they get it in today.This is a quote from the number 1 qualifier:


I just came out to have fun and test for next weekend. I can guarantee you that we will not run Saturday if it is after dark. Too many cars crash and I don't plan to be one of them.

Looking at Dan's ET compared to his MPH in B/EA, I would say that he is not holding anything.. BUT, knowing the boys from R&B and Panella Racing, there could be more in it..

I believe that Dan has the driving advantage, but if John is green, and being more than a second under, he will not be afraid to go for the win and take a hit.. he has to knock off almost 6tenths to be a 60 under player.. gives him a lot of room..

Dan, only at 60 under, can't afford much CIC if he wants to go rounds..

Just my opinion though..
