Guess we will just put a stick in the Mega Maniac, and go to F/S at 305 horsepower.

No one was bashing at all until you said these things. Do you really think anyone has any sympathy? Sorry, you beat up on people all starting in F/SA and are still setting records in A/SA, sounds like you want to do it in the stick classes now, too.

Really? Nobody said anything before that???

That sounds like the old excuse/explanation: "the fight started, when he hit me back"

But as for me having a desire to take advantage of the rules that favor my car, what serious racer doesnt make decisions on that same basis?

I may as well do it... If I don't, then someone else will.

The new cars really arent going to go away no matter how much you and others, huff and puff and try to blow them away.

But keep it up anyway, it is mildy amusing, although somewhat tiresome.

On that note.....a close friend told me "never argue with a fool".

I have 2011 #15. I plan on bracket racing it locally. I thought it might be fun to go to an NHRA race and run SS (I've never done that before) but my license has expired and there isn't a track here in Arkansas to get it renewed. I couldn't be competitive with other SS/DA cars but it will run under the index. Just a thought.

David, you've made a massive investment. Why would you park it?

(I run a 5.9L DragPak in Super Stock GT, so I'm obviously not "piling on" or "hating on Mopars")

Jeff Teuton · 11-17-2011, 12:36 PM

Rick, 9.50 on a 10.20 index will be competitive. You need to get the cage certified, other than that you are ready.

rickseeman · 11-17-2011, 01:51 PM

Should have my cage cert soon.

Hey Rick, was that your white Avenger that I saw on the Prescott raceway page? If it is, its beautiful! What are the plans for that car?

rickseeman · 11-17-2011, 02:35 PM

Yes, that was it. I have no plans for it. You need to buy it from me so I can race the Challenger.
