In 2010 ( Could not race much in 2011 ) my boy both Won and R/U a Div Race
and won Div 7 Jeg Allstars with his O/SA Aspen Wagon. If you cut 00 or 01 and drive the finish close...... It doesn't seem to matter all that much how fast or rich you are!! He also beat two of the Best Challenger Drag packs at Indy in 2010 both driven by top Drivers (Both Div/Nat winners and not Newbies). Most of the guy's I know just race what they can afford without starving their family.....................And they Just make it "Work" for them. Stop on by if you see us at a Div or Nat'l and maybe we can lucky enough on the Ladder to run you with my Truck N/SA or Jr's Wagon O/SA first round! .

we all can win if we didnt think so we wouldnt show up but leaving last does have an advantage but that has never bothered me it is what it is and I know it going in but since it has changed to qualified fields the number of lower class cars seems to have fallen off

1. I'd rather leave on a clean tree.
2. I don't want the distraction of the slow car passing through my field of vision behind the tree. I'll bet no one ever figured out why my Nova had that big bright obnoxious yellow stripe on it! 3. It does make it hard to dial in the wind with no power. 4. The slow cars are a lot fussier in changing air. 5. And last but not least, hope that they don't spray the whole track right in front of you.

I've never been able to figure out why people think the lowest class cars don't have that good of chance in eliminations,the car that puts together the best package is going to win does'nt matter how fast or slow they are.
Lower class & higher class cars both have their advantages & disadvantages. I'll say Michael is right about stats because of #'s. Mike Taylor3601 |

I went to round 4 at the supernationals with my O/SAbut forgot to dail in the wind. Not the car but the driver.

I hope so. Otherwise I'm wasting a lot of time and money! (Although I may be doing that anyways!)

At the Combo in the Hills, the Turismo ran 5 13.01's in a row to 1000', then a 13.00 before it rained. Lost its mojo somewhere this summer... back to Mr. Bill's this winter for some TLC.
Jeff --- it's perception vs reality. I really kinda suck. I just race a LOT. Even a blind squirrel.... ![]()
