I'm sure you're right. Just look at all the guys running V/S Stock eliminator. Maybe I should build a V/S car so there's one East of the Rockies to match the one that's West of them. At least I could brag about all my Wally's, right? Show up at any Regional or National event running Class eliminations and take home a Wally.

You should try to make a 9 second car run 7.90's NA without changing the motor. More personal satisfaction there than running a class no one else on the planet runs, and no one wants to watch.

I hope you're enjoying this as much as me.

Well kid you got me there! You're right, I'm just too dumb and too old to argue with you and I can't defend myself without "bragging".
One thing that I've learned in my old age is "don't try and teach a pig to whistle". "It will just aggrevate me and upset the pig".
Good luck with you're "racing" career!

Because S/C is for dragsters. S/G is now mostly 7.80 - 8.50 cars t-stopping down to 9.90. In brackets I run all out but only 1/8th mile. All out 1/4 opportunities are rare.

I just turned thirty last month. Is that old enough to be a "grumpy old man"?

"Broad shoulders holding up a pinhead". That's very funny Ed.

Mr. Indy-noname, you know you're a real ***** don't you?
I tried so hard to keep out of this mud slinging, but I can't keep my mouth shut any longer.
Mr Indy-noname, tell us of your accomplishments please, we would like to hear of them instead of your just taking pot shots at us.

Obvously you "don't get it" about seeing that potential in a slow car and trying to squeez all you can out of it within a structured set of peramiters rather than an "anything goes" type of format.

I have no accomplishments. You're better than me.

I have a question regarding the "new" cars of S/SS. Or any fuel injected car for that matter. When is NHRA going to regulate the rules so that these guys have to run factory computers? I mean no "tune" or "tuning" with a lap top in the pits? I know a local Mustang that runs in one of these classes that has had the book thrown at it as far as the "tune" in the "factory" computer. I mean doesnt NHRa need to put a limit on this?

Just asking. I know the rules say OEM computers allowed. But has the NHRA looked into what tune can be applied and still be "stock"? Thats the question.
