Tod made a comment to me the other nite though. If all these Fords show up. Shaw's Caddy made an appearance. Jack's Wagon, Billy's 1K car. Add a PU or two, plus whatever other combinations show. U/SA eliminator will look like a "Buy Here, Pay Here" car lot! On top of that could be the class with the most entries. Be like running class was 35-40 some years ago.

If I recall correctly, at the original US Classnationals, the class with the most entries was G/SA,,, Nitro Joe can probably elaborate. There were also a lot of A & B/SA cars. I'm not sure there will be more than 16 U/SAs, but you never know. It looks like Ed has put together at least 16 cars for the SS/K Shootout. My 2 cents,, see you there.

I wouldn't want to go destroying the "integrity" of Stock Eliminator now would I? Of course I could just title and tag it and drive it out there because, ya know, it is a real car with a real VIN but that's another type of "integrity" now, isn't it?

Here here Billy
(yet another reason I like and respect you so muchI would build one of those bogus *** 350 Olds Cadillacs for U/SA, I may have lost a lot physically but I still have my integrity, meanig that I could not bring myself down low enough to that level to run something so obviously under rated and blatantly bogus no offence to the guys running them, but shame on NHRA for allowing it for so long (especially in SS) just like they did with Bob Dennis's bogus non existent 260 4 barrel Olds in U/SA until I finally presented Bruce with a copy of the GM blue print for the actual intake showing it as a DUALJET unit but how many thousands in class and qualifying dollars did that guy rob from other racers until it was finally corrected even after Al Provost and Arlen Fadley told Danny that it was bogus he still did nothing about it ;(

I believe that the Seville was put in the guide with the original factory horsepower rating like many other cars were. How is that considered bogus? I sold these cars when they were new and they certainly were not fast!
