My budget allowed me to build what I race at a comfort level I can live with.I'd love to have a S/C Rambler

I'm not that fired up about getting in to Indy. But I don't WANT to run some sort of obscure car in a class no one races in to get there either.

I run G/S because the guy I work for bought one, and offered to let me drive it (it is a privilege I've been afforded). I'm working on getting my own car built. I was NOT the biggest campaigner for AA/S, I was just the one a lot of people saw. And I did it because the guy I work for wanted the class for one, and because the class was needed. I didn't do it because ONE person benefited, but because MANY people benefited. The car I'm working on will not run AA/SA because it is a natural B/SA car at the moment. It just so happens that several of my friends CAN run AA/SA, and running A/SA forced them to add nearly 300# to their cars.

Angry Re: NHRA Fastest 128 cars

Ed Fernandez, I like your choice of race cars. One of my first cars was an S/C Rambler and I still race a AMX SS/c. As per not allowing class winners who run .5 under to race in the eliminations at Indy I think is a bad idea. Class eliminations is the essence of Indy. You bring your best to test the rest in your class.If you win class you have bragging rights plus a little class money to help defray the cost of a week at Indy. Now it appears If you can't run 1. under stay home. NHRA will deprive the spectators and racers of viewing a truely representative sampling of the best muscle cars built in America.

Mr. Alan Roerhich,

Would you please list all the cars on a used car lot that will go .5 under for $3,500. I would like to buy them as if they can go .5 under in used car trim, then they easily should go 1.0 under with minor bolt in/on applications. A little bit of hard work and viola, 1.5 under and on the brakes.

As a side note I liked what Ed O'Brien stated somewhere, "what if 30 FWD cars showed up?" Now there is your $3,500 piece.

Mr. Ortiz,
Do your own research.
You quoted Ed O'Brien about the "30 FWD cars" and then said "there's your $3500 piece". There's your answer. From your own mouth. I do not bother to hunt those car combinations, as I have no desire to fool with one.

Bored with all the whining.
