Oh yes......both publicially about 1.5 tenths, from previous runs.

Be REAL Intresting to see it play out.

I'm sure it's been said thousands of times but, here is one more....Those cars and the CJ's should be in Superstock from the get go.....and now I go back to work....Thank you..have a beautiful day driving yourself nuts trying to compete with them...

The best and most accurate post in this thread.

Also spot on as usual.

I heard one very well known engine builder who builds fast S/SS motors. He does most of his own head work and development. He said 90% of your engine builders out there are engine assemblers then they get a soft combo and they are hero's.

Why is it when Bob Shaw finds some combo and runs 1.75 plus under no one bitc#'s. But a CJ or DP runs fast and it the end of the world.

I fail to see how you wieners think the 435 hp CJ should not be in stock eliminator.
The eng is available in a street mustang from Fords.
Ford motor CO and the UAW built 50 units.
So what if it has a Super Charger big deal. Some cars have two carbs shuold we outlaw cars with two carbs in stock because it"s not fare?

Could someone please tell me how a CJ is less of a stock eliminator car then David Barton’s Race hemi with a AUTO (that it never came with)?

Charlie Bob, I doubt that Mr. Shaw is getting any help from Cadillac first of all. Second, any one is also welcome to build Mr. Shaws combo but there aren't many racers that want a "slow" race car. And the most important reason, Mr. Shaw is only "hurting" a hand full of people and most of those few people will applaude Mr. Shaw for his bravado. The DPs and SCJs are "hurting" a significant number of people and OBTW, most of them (but not all) have big egos and big wallets. It's kind of like standing in front of a fan with your two best buddies and throwing a handfull of s**t into it. If they ARE your buddies then they'll probably laugh about it. Now try the same thing in a room full of strangers and I'm gonna bet that you're gonna get a beating.

Good thing that FIAT saved Chrysler from extinction and your tax dollars are now building drag packs. I hope you feel good when you sign your tax return. Although, according to FOX News 36% of all Americans pay no income tax after their deductions and tax credits. I guess only a maximum of 64% of all American tax payers can feel good about drag pack Challengers. I just don't see that many happy people on Class Racer. Maybe it'd just me............

GM's supposed to pay back their big Govt. loan today. Maybe then they'll put the new Camaros in the classification guide? WJ

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Bob Shaw, an individual, went to the guide and found an old combination that was already there, and no one was racing, then took advantage of that.

Where as Ford and Chrysler, two mega dollar factories, went out and created purpose built race cars that were never intended to be street driven, and then went to NHRA and had them inserted into the guide with bogus HP ratings attached.

Nice try at comparing apples and oranges though. Good job with the name calling, too. Got anything else?
