Re: I'd just lke to shout a big THANK YOU to the racer
The stats from the NHRA for my combo is posted on my very first post. Go and check it out. it's pretty awesome. And, it's definitely my fault because I only ran three races in stock.

Please, could you do me a favor and define for me what "truly raced" means? I mean obviously, three races isn't truly racing. So, what is? Four races? Is five races "truly racing"? Is six races "truly racing"? Seven? Eight? Truly raced, that's rich. I'm not saying you're an idiot, but that is definitely an idiotic statement. Take a look at what you did in four races, you single handedly destoyed it. And you're going to blame me. LOL. What makes matters even worse, is I reached out to you guys last winter, when we got weight the first time. I called your dad and said, respectfully, "Brian, if you guys want to run your car fast, that's fine with me. I would never presume to tell another racer how to run their car. If you want to run fast, let me know and i'll ran fast, too. But, if you want me to run my car slow to help the average, I will. You're dad said, No, no, no we'll work together and do what we need to do so we don't get hit again. I said great, then I'll run my car slow, too. You guys have been racing Stock forever, how do you not know that after those four races that, it wasn't looking good. By the looks of the stats, you never even tried to slow down. You created this problem and are blaming me for not being able to fix it. So, please don't put this on me. Thanks Last edited by Tony Fagnilli; 12-14-2023 at 05:57 PM. |

Re: I'd just lke to shout a big THANK YOU to the racer
Wow seems like 2010-1 again with the dragpak combo. Might I suggest that someone just put a big swinging stick in it and go and have fun with the original 600 HP rating.
Yes it requires skill to get the chassis set up just so to hook on a 9 inch tire with what is maybe 1200 hp, software tuning will help of course, and actually being able to hit a shift point, would be kind of like a mini-factory X. Fun factor though is priceless....Or just put a SS on the window and be done with it. Barry, I think 2010 or 11 was the end of the good old class contingency days. It was a viable business plan for Ed when he had the Gremlin, enter a national event with class, win it solo, and more than pay for the entry fee, gas, etc. race the eliminator for free. Eric Quote:

Re: I'd just lke to shout a big THANK YOU to the racer
I no longer race but did for a fairly long time and clearly remember what it was like before Indexes, AHFS and Rules Enhancements.
Today a racer can't run it out the back door with fear of the AHFS and worst of all the dreaded Averages. There is no more Record Setting or REAL Teardowns. As mentioned in another thread Class racing has become little more than Bracket Racing and that's a crying shame. I have to wonder what is the motivation today to build a car that can run 1.2 under or beyond on a soft index? Thank God for the U.S. Nationals. |

I would love to hear and see how today's Racers would handle that! As far as the 1.2 under car thing, I can't figure that out myself. I don't know why a Racer would even paint a car today. There's no sponsors and there's no purse.

I think that it better fits the definition of EGO.
