Alan, Fred didn't weigh after the run because he red lit and he was warned by a very respected NHRA tech person prior to the run that he better be careful because the air is dripping oxygen this morning and you will go more than 1.40 under. So once again, nobody but Fred knows what the car weighed. Fred also got that combo hit twice before and should have known better. That same motor is in Ronnie Wests GTX but is rated 27 hp less. at 430 hp. Like I said before there is a whole lot more to this story.

You will never have a PERFORMANCE class when performance is based on shoe polish and a system of random numbers (hp factors) manipulated by the brake pedal, timing or excess ballast. However, I can fully understand trying to protect your combo under such a system. Truthfully no one should be able to protect a combo in a perfect world. (ET vs. MPH)
