You should read your rule book Sir V/S, and SS/P are not the slowest classes in either eliminator.

V/S Jack Larson's screamin' Ford.

V/SA Tight race. I think McNeal Freeman's 262 Caprice has the most potential, but
Jim Mantle's Pacer seems to be constistently fast as does Mike Jeffrey's
Dodge taxi cab, and Griffis Jr's 173 Pontiac is right there too. Gotta go
with Mantle Pac(er)ing the pack for now though.

PS: Tom, Good idea to help pass the time through the coming Winter Storm.

OK Art, we can take care of that in quick fashion.

W/S - no contest - Ellis Buth
W/SA Again, no contest. Gerald Nivens with the newer 140 Ford.

DF/S- No contest - Nicole Stephenson's 3.8 Olds

EF/S - Ron Scibenick's Topaz outran Polhill at the US Nats, although it's hard to tell
from day-to-day with those little engines.

Any disagreements on any of these slower than V stockers anyone? AF, BF, & CF are all faster than V. If not we're back to V/S & V/SA in stock.

should i bite on this game (looking in my book at who is really the fastest in class)

Adger Smith · 12-23-2009, 09:23 PM

This sounds like a "mine is bigger than yours thread" :~)
Can those of us who get Joe's Stats cheat and look the runs up?
I bet that would spoil the fun.
Is the next tread going to be about reacton times?

JRyan · 12-23-2009, 09:41 PM

Adger, It'll probably be a "my buddy's thing is bigger than yours" deal. "Nitro" doesn't have every run in NHRA for 2009, and everyone has a buddy whose been sandbaggin'. Wait until we get to the populated classes!

I don't think you would want to rely on Joe's specs here. You might have to use a little "inside baseball" for the correct answers.

OK Steve, thanks for the info. That's what this thread is all about; braggin' rights with a little honesty thrown in.

Bragging rights, Ha I got braging rights. I hammered Bob Shaw at the tree (albiet he was having major ignition problems) by .900 His Caddy is the fastest under the index car in the country. I was so far ahead I could see his front bumper. Now thats some bragging rights.

Jack, now don't you go picking on these unknowledgeable individuals. Betting money on somebody while holding back a couple of seconds, I mean tenths.

Other than Bob, you have got some serious players for U/SA:
Myers, Remmington, Wright, Lacy, McCarthy, Tolson, Nees, Wong, Yacavone, I can't remember his name but the green Nova from FL, Koopman, Hardy, and anybody else that I am not aware of.

Ron Ortiz
U/SA oh! I forgot, Bob passed me in second gear and I watched his scoreboard light up.
