Re: Top Stock is back
 

Used to be 2008 and older .

Wonder what kind of ET will win one of these races now a days. ? Any guesses ?

Probably mid 9's in good air my guess

Re: Top Stock is back
 

High 9's would be my quess

Re: Top Stock is back
 

Not a bad idea at all!

I think 9.70s in good air would be possible these days for sure. There were a few A/B cars at indy that would have been in the 9.90s at 8.25 lb/hp, not to mention Jason Line in C - it would be fun to see his car in top stock!

Re: Top Stock is back
 

Out of all of the cars at this past Indy Nats, IMHO Jason's was the most impressive..a bad fast Buick.

Re: Top Stock is back
 

Indeed it is; but think he (or any of the D cars) can shed enough weight to get close to 8.25 lb/hp? Know the Hill, Hatch, Bennett cars are bad fast but sure sounds like a tall order.

Re: Top Stock is back
 

I wouldn’t bet against any of the line boys should they decide to jump in and play in Top Stock.

Re: Top Stock is back
 

I agree-as a former owner and racer of Buick GS models, getting a 70 GS down to 2850 within stock rules isn't likely

Re: Top Stock is back
 

Are the official dates May 4-6 2018 Atco
And Sept 28-30 2018 Maple Grove ?

Re: Top Stock is back
 

We can get a couple hundred out of our D/SA Demons and save another 125 LBs by recruiting a 100 Lb. driver to replace our 200 plus b*tts!
We would need the 2850 rule removed. Hope this happens sometime on the West Coast.
