7 days and 21 hours till Pomona......as per the NHRA website right now....

You get maybe 3 runs and then line up. You could quite easily not run anyone heads-up for numerous races......or you could have a headsup right out of the box.......Since the odds are that you will not have any headsup runs get some fresh shoe polish for your driver.....

If you are lucky enough to run somone flat out you can show off your handywork and let your ET slip do the talking for a change....

One can only hope Mustangs and Challengers have to race each other constantly for a number of races. No stocker should be capable of running the numbers your talking about unless NEW weight breaks were established due to the rediculous HP these cars must be capable of making.......Mustangs running low 9's and Challengers running 9.7's tells anyone paying attention that something is way wrong with the HP ratings as they stand.......

It took years and years for a BB Camaro to be capable of running into the 9's in Stock. No way a new car is factored right if it does it right out of the box......the LT-1 Pontiacs come to mind for a comparison.......

Best thing that could happen is new classes that would accomodate these new cars and add a Camaro to the mix.......AAA/SA looks to confusing. Make it A at the top and fix it at the bottom.

Agreed 100%......nothing like increasing the long term value of the cars like the SS/AH car than putting them in their own playground where only they can play.

A real kick in the head would be if the Mustangs made it and the Challengers didnt......that, that would suck.

Hay Rich still in Paterson ? His driver knows all about shoe polish ! I sure hope to hell some of them run the CJs , they need to be pushed.

[Rich Biebel]

Bob I was never from the Paterson area.......Parsippany/Lake Hiawatha area, for a while. The home of our old friend Mr Stein.......I moved further west almost 40 years ago......still live in the same house. I saw Jerry not that long ago in a hardware store in Dover.......

Should not be any problem......Stock HP ratings are totally ARBITRARY so NHRA makes them whatever they need to be so the Mustangs and Challengers run together. Add a Camaro when GM decides to build one that could compete and you'd have something everyone could enjoy......

Watching a New Blown Mustang or DP Challenger run and hide from a 40+ year old Muscle car is not my idea of fair competetion. All it shows is that the HP ratings are bogus.....

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Agreed......

Its not like Stock Elim is heads up anyway......BUT , PERHAPS , if the cars are moved into their own class it would/could be....or something of the like.

Youre right I will have NO joy in beating 40 yr old iron if its another A or AA car in a heads up run, Im sure they will...and there are some that will be able to that have "laid low" I think.... UNLESS its a driver win. Then, well....the car is a moot point.

A seperate question unrelated, what is a good .4 pro tree RT ? I mean good/fair average ? (unrelated curiousity) ? Like as in what would "acceptable" consistency be for that to be competitive ? Im too tired to go get my "Stats" and well.....since I keep forgetting to mail Joe Jackson the check on my desk......I have decided not to allow myself to read them until its mailed

A good RT on any tree is one that wins the round.....no matter what it is.......but if you are not capable of going .00 then your not competitive at most races.......Last time I won a S/C Lucas oil race I went .007-.002 and .013 first 3 rounds and they were all close......

I lost a race with a .010 Rt and ran dead on with a 3 in S/C...it was a .0006 MOV.........to the other lane........

All the S/ classes are "killer"......


I was not suggesting that you have to run heads up with these new cars. Just pointing out that they are improperly factored HP wise and they need to move up. Since there are no more classes up, they need to create them.....and move these cars up where they belong....
