Cheating

[Michael Beard]

This thread is just for Ed O'Brien, so we don't fill up other threads.

>> Do you really think there are people that can cut better lights week in and week out than S/C racers with cars built with soft converters and delay boxes ?

Which S/C drivers? Yes, there are people that can cut better lights week in and week out than some S/C racers. (Delay boxes, I understand, but I'm not sure where soft converters enter into it...)

What's the season average reaction time for an average S/C racer?

Yup, IHRA caught one Stocker guy and one Modified guy. I don't really think cheating is rampant. I do think there are some guys who have some things figured out that other people haven't even thought of yet.

Just my opinion.

According to "the Racers Mind" work book I have these are the following Averages: Stock .0296, Super Gas .0196, Super Comp .0186, Super Stock .0318, Pro Stock .039

I think he's talking about the infamous "dirty dozen" banned from " NORWALK "

Hm! I find some of those numbers very surprising. Did it say what the sample group was, or how those averages were derived? Glad you found that. Pretty interesting.

For what it's worth Ed, the year I footbraked in Super/Pro, my season average was an .017, just under the noted Super Comp average above. I'm sure there are plenty of guys sharper than I on the tree.
