An Idiots Guide to Super Class Racing

Mike....I don't know where you get your score card.....but the amount of competitive 175 mph super gas cars in the country is less than 5 I bet....most cars run 155 to 165....

You're going to limit it to COMPETITIVE cars?

I've seen at least one competitive 170+ mph car around here (Mike Ferderer), and several more who were faster but maybe less than competitive

Just having watched without keeping specific track, I would guess that most of the cars around here are slightly slower (145-155 mph) with a few more in the 160-165 mph range. But there is always the possibility of drawing one of those 175 mph cars!

Actually I'm going to build a diesel engine for my car, so I can also race it in the diesel series.

Well, no sooner did you earn some credibility on the board with the beer drinking comment then did you lose all credibility with the diesel engine comment!

I'll vouch for you though...Give him a break guys as Micheal is a good guy just trying to get back up to speed after a long layoff. Don't crucify him just because he questioned the norm. That's what us engineers are supposed to do.

Regarding competitive 170+ mph cars, I would agree that for the most part the competitive fast S/G cars are in the 165 mph range. But, now we're talking semantics. 165 mph / 170 mph - its basically the same thing, and there's a whole boat load of cars that run within +/- 5 mph of 165 mph.

But, who cares. I'm going to drink beer.

Why, because:

A. it was relatively short.
B. I took a jab at Mr. Pliska.
C. I mentioned drinking beer.
D. all of the above

I'm guessing most would respond "D".
